Spyder 2  / II Full Stack?

Hello,

 

Been reading about the 8Ohms needed, and the fact that the Spyder 2 amp has 2 x STEREO outputs, so I will need to make sure each cabinet has 8Ohms of stereo.

 

My question is, is the Spyder2 4x12 cabinet just 4 8 Ohms speakers, each 2 wired to a stereo TRS jack?  If so, I guess there is no series, parallel, etc, just 1 speaker to the 1st ring, and the 2nd speaker to the 2nd ring per side?  So, my cabinet has 4 individual speakers, paired up to a TRS jack, 1 tip, 1 ring, sharing the common ground between them?

 

I would figure a Y cable would in effect be pushing the signal in PARALLEL to the 2 ports on the back of cabinet, which would then split my Ohms, I think?  SO I would be pushing 1 8 Ohms signal in STEREO ( 8 x 2 ) to 2 8 Ohm speakers on each MONO channel, so I worry that each stereo channe would only be 4 Ohms?  Is this correct?  Would I have to re-wire to cab in SERIES to get it back up to 8 Ohms?

 

Sheesh, I understand this somewhat, but it is not easy.

 

Thanks,

David
