Hi Skip , I just finished making a extention cab and was thinking about wiring 2 jacks in series so I could run 2 cabs daisy chain style. I'm not to sure on how to do it , is it ok to use a metal jack dish?

That seems easy enough, just
That seems easy enough, just to make sure I'll be using 8 ohm speakers in each cab so total ohms is gonna be 16 ohms correct? And use regular open circuit jacks?

Wiring speaker jacks
Bluevan- Total impedance will be 4 ohms, not 16 ohms. Yes, regular open-circuit jacks will be fine.

Ok thanks Skip.
Ok thanks Skip.
Hello Bluevan- A metal jackplate is a good idea. Just connect plus to plus and ground to ground on each jack. Please use open-frame metal Switchcraft jacks and don't forget a 3/8" lockwasher for each jack.
