Hello, my name is andres, I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Recently bought a k200b-2 in ebay from a guy in Lubbock TX, and would like to know how works the 2 outputs.

I want to connect a 2x12 cabinet (with 2 celestion seventy 80) in 4 ohms, can I plug in any of the 2 outputs and works?

And if in the future I want to add another cabinet 2x12 , how should be distributed the power and ohms?

I apologize if the topic was discussed previously, and sorry for my poor english.

I would appreciate your help

Thanks!

Welcome to the site. You K200B-2 head wants to see a 4 ohm total load. With your 2x12 cab at the 4 ohm total load, the amp is running maximum. You can use either jack on the back to connect the speaker cab. If in the future you add a second cabinet, and the speakers are original to the cab. I'd rewire your existing cabinet in series giving you a 16 ohm load and the second cab would be 8 ohms and then you can connect both cabinets to the head and run safely.
