I have a 16 ohm celestion in my rati 1-12 combo. I want to also run at the same time a 2-12 cab which is 8 ohms (2 x 16 ohm). Do I plug into the 8 ohm jack, or do I need a splitter? Does this halve the value to 8 in the combo and 4 in the cab...I'm confused...my rati has 4,8,16 ohm outputs.

I did the same thing this weekend. I've got a 16 ohm in my combo and I had an 8 ohm extension cab. You need a y-cable and I'm pretty sure you would plug into the 4 ohm jack, since a 16 and 8 ohm in parallel is 5.3333 ohms (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong). This is what I did and nothing blew up, so I feel pretty good about it ;D.

Make yourself, or find a high quality splitter cable. I made a box for this purpose. You can wire the splitter in series or parallel, depending upon the resistance of the speakers, and your desired output. Speakers into the splitter box, then ONE cable into the amp.
