I want to turn this combo guitar amp into a speaker cabinet. The speakers were connected to the speaker output of the amplifier by a quarter inch TS cable. Problem is that cable is too short to connect to another amplifier. Would it be safe to plug that cable into a female-to-female quarter inch jack, mount the jack to the back of the cabinet, and then plug an amp into the jack?

Yes, you can use an adapter, but remember to keep the resistance and power output specs in mind when plugging it into a different amp. For example, if the cabinet is 4ohms and can handle a max of 50w don't plug it into a 8ohm 100w amp.

that's harmless, don't plug 4 ohm speakers into 8/16 ohm outputs or youll fry the output stage.

Would soldering two jacks together work? Or is heavier gauge wire needed?
