I'm 99.09% sure that the one on the front comes from the amp and the one on the back goes to the speaker.
The 0.01 percent of me would be slightly cautious in firing it up.
What I'd do is:
Plug a cable from the amp into the front
Plug a cable from the back into the speaker
Set the amp to be a reasonable room volume ie not blow your head off
Set the control on the attenuator half way
Turn amp onto standby and let it warm up
Turn the amp on fully and if you don't have a sound turn it off again....
As I say my memory tells me that is correct and to my logical brain it would also make sense to have the input on the front.
Looking at the photos of the wiring the jack on the left (which will be the back) has 2 wires, one goes to ground and the other to the pot. From my limited electronics theory that would also indicate that it's the out. Perhaps @ecc83 can give us the definitive answer.
As for ohm rating. This was designed for an Artisan 30 head into an artisan 2x12 cab I'm pretty sure that the default was 8 ohms so that is what it will have been speced for. I'd assume that the A15 is the same?

The average impedance of a real speaker is a bit higher than the nominal rating, due to the fairly steep rise at higher frequencies - it will go up to something like 20 ohms at the top of the audio range, for an 8-ohm speaker. A 10-ohm resistive load is still well within this, so perfectly OK. It may also be why they can sound better.

“Impedance: Stereo - 2 x 16 Ohms. Mono - 8 Ohms. Selectable by input jack”
You can only run it at 8 ohms if you're only using one speaker.

Thanks for all the help everyone… sorry to be a bit fick!
Thanks I think the standard HB one I have is just resistive, but I could be wrong.
