With the a MV installed and Presence knob relocated to one of the speaker jacks, I'm down to utilizing one bottom.
As an alternative to the "Y" Cable,
can or could I use a mono y jack and then to the seperate cabs?
...or....
Could I come out the back of the head the to the first cab and with a y jack daisey chain to the next?
The y jack would be plugged into the cab, not the head.
Wouldn't that would put the cab in series for the 8 Ohm load ?
or just use the y cable instead , grab a beer and be done with it...

Re: "Y" splitter jack
One of those doo-hickies in the picture would "work" but it's plastic...a good heavy duty y-cord would be better I think. The problem with pre-made Y-cords is they use shielded cable. If you got some of the larger Switchcraft plugs and some decent speaker cable you could make you own Y-cord and it should work fine. Either way, it would be parallel just the same as hooking cabs up to two speaker jacks.
