Gentlemans, I need your help. In a dumb accident the cables of my 4x12 (Laney GS412PS with Vintage 30's) disconnected. Afortunately without any damage because the cables have connectors (they only disconnected). Im almost sure that I reconnected each cable in the correct spot but I need to corroborate that all is safe and good because I dont want to damage my tube head (I dont know about electronics, this is my first cab). Here are the photos:

This photo is the connector panel in the back of the cab (I use 16 ohms for the cab and the head):

This is the chip of the connections inside the cab:

The red cables are connected in the "+" of the speakers. You can see that in the chip there are 4 connections: two go to the top right speaker (red and black) and to go to the top left speaker (red and black). The left side speakers are connected between them and the right side speakers are connected between them But left side and right side are not connected between them.

If you have any question I'll answer. Please help me to corroborate that all is connected perfectly. I connected the cables from memory.

Thanks a lot in advance.
 
Red is always positive (+) and black is negative (-) so you have that right.

On my Marshall 4x12, nothing is connected to the outer clips on both of my bottom speakers. The wires on the center clips of my bottom speakers each connect to the outer clips of the speakers above (left bottom to left top speaker, right bottom to right top speaker).

The wires on the center clips of my top speakers connect to the "hub" or whatever it is called. Hard to tell from the pics, but you should be good to go. Have another few folks double-check but looks good to me man.
 
To be sure, you could measure DC resistance on a speakercable you plug in. You should measure roughly 2/3 of what the panel says so 12-13 ohms measuring in the 16 ohm input etc.
Only thing that could be wrong is the phase of the speakers but you'll hear that soon enough.

Good luck !

PS, or check the phase with the 9V battery trick
