Need a schematic or wiring harness for a 2x12 cabinet

[David Meiland]

I'm putting together a 2x12 with two different speakers. I'd like to wire it with three jacks... jack 1 = speaker 1, jack 2 = speaker 2, jack 3 = both speakers, ideally in parallel. Some weak googling turned up a few pre-made items that seem to do something similar, but not this exact thing. Can anyone point me to a wiring diagram or a pre-made harness for this? Thank you.

It will require some switching that will isolate both speakers. Simple wiring to 3 jacks will put both speakers in parallel with all three jacks.

I guess you're trying to make something like this plate.

Plug and Play Jack Plate

DetailsThe Plug and Play Jack Plate is a complete drop-in assembly for stereo speaker cabinets. The standard version shown below is marked for the 8 Ohm Stereo and 4/16 Ohm Mono. This is a common setup with guitar cabinets. What is uncommon is the elimination of the switch. This makes connecting...

Or, you could wire it up yourself.

I'd do it with 2 jacks and a mono switch.
