You can use either the K200 or K400 with one speaker cabinet. If you do flip over the speaker board and section off the top speaker, basically turning it to a 2x15 cab. I'd still use 16 ohm speakers in the cabinet(S) until you can get some siren horns.

You could wire a speaker cabinet with a special circuit so each speaker has it's own output, but I can't see a need for it. Using the 16 ohm speaker and each speaker being driven by each amp of the K400 really defeats the purpose, you have a 16 ohm speaker being driven by a 100 watt RMS 4 ohm amp. You would have more power by using just one side of the K400 that would drive both 16 ohm speakers that would be a 8 ohm load to the amp you choose to use. It also simplfies the cabinet if you want to drive one cabinet with the K200 head.

Kustom used a simple 4 MFD 50VDC non polarized capacitor wire to the + side of the horn driver.
