Go from the RCA jack on the back of one head, to the input jack of whatever channel you whan to use on the other head.2 at radio shack again get a molded plastic adapter that goes from 2 1/4" guitar jacks to 1 1/4" guitar plug and is mono, not stereo!Plug this into one amp,plug your guitar into it then take another cord and go from that to the other amps input. Its the same as a Y cord and this second form is a better way to do, but neitheir way will hurt the amps. Report message to a moderator

I have done the ABY stuff with my heads, but one time something weird happened. When I turned off one of the heads while it was still connected to my other with the box (it's a Morley by the way), it tripped the GFCI outlet my other head was plugged into and effetcively turned the other head off. Do these amps give off voltage when you turn them off or something? Good thing I use power conditioners and GFCIs or I might have fried it. So, from now on, I will always disconnect all cables from the amp (except speakers) when I turn them off. Thanks! Report message to a moderator

This is a upgrade I do on all my kustoms. Don Report message to a moderator

Coming off the RCA plug in the back in the least effective to me. Y cord is next and a little better. Better still is and A/B box. My favorite is using the stereo out on a memory man delay pedal, Very cool. Report message to a moderator

It was 30+ years ago, I really don't remember how we done it but we did not use the RCA plugs I know. I don't remember much about the 70's if you do you wasn't having enough fun!HA!

I'm using a four and fifty watt behringer head to power two Kustom cabs for bass right now. Its not really needed in small venues though. A single or double cab Kustom is plenty in those.
