Best way to run two heads simultaneously into one cab?

[Hard&Heavy]

If you have the money just run a cab for each head,I prefer that set up. But a good aby box will do the trick.It seems that you would have to mod your cab a little to do that..

If the cab has a stereo option like Marshall (16 & 4 mono / 8 stereo) then couldn't you put the switch to stereo, then set each amp to 8 ohms and plug each into both of the cabs jacks? Wouldn't you then be running one amp at 8 ohms out the left 2 speakers and the other amp at 8 ohms out the 2 right speakers?

Yup... but NOT the same as each amp through a 4x12, or blending each amp together through a 4x12, or slaving 2 amps together through a 4x12. Not saying better or worse, just saying, "Not the same".

Gotcha, thanks.
