I'm getting a bass cabinet with 4 pin speakon connectors on it. I don't know what the difference is between 2 or 4 pin speakon plugs. Can you use a 2 pin plug with a 4 pin socket? Please help.
Follow Ups:
Basically a four pin is setup so you can run a four lead speaker
cable to bi-amp and have one connection to the cabinet
Two pins plus and minus are for your horn/driver
Two pins plus and minus are for the woofer/mid driverA two pin is for a two lead speaker cable for loudspeakers with
passive xovers internallyYou can certainly use a four pin connector with a two pin
Just make sure you use whatever pins your cabinet is using
pin -1, pin +1 / or pin -2, pin +2
You can use a two pin connector on a four pin input as well
You have to know if your cabinet is using pin 1 plus and minus
or pin 2 plus and minus...I hope this makes some sense to you
4pin Speakon plugs will NOT physically fit into a 2pin chassis socket due to the way the socket is moulded, however the 2pin plug is no problem in the 4pin socket.Cheers

Yes, 2 pin plugs can be used in 4 pin sockets, but not vice versa. Just make sure that only pins 1+ and 1- are used on the socket.Cheers

All true.
If you want to mono-bridge an amp for low end, a 4 pin speakon would do the trick, most newer amps have the speakon connector that will allow monobridge.In this case, the speakon is wired +1 +2 on the amp side, +1 -1 on the speaker side.
