Hi, I just brought a blackheart head and cab yesterday. but realized that it do not came with a cable. So after i finish scanning through the manual which was this http://www.blackhearteng.com/pdf/BH112_OM.pdf
I brought a cable with 1pin(1/4 black) and 2pin(1/4 red and black) on the other side.

Then when i came back home, reading the manual again carefully, it say just need to connect to one of this 2 hole on the cab as i tot need to connect both of it.... so i know i'm somehow wrong and dare not try to connect as i'm afraid tt would spoil my amp.
So can tt cable still be used? and what cable do i need to connect the amp to head? i asked the sale person at yamaha it say "that instrumental cable" then i take a look, and the shortest cable is 10 feet. I do not need such a long cable i think 50cm will be more than enough. And what is the difference between speaker and guitar cable? will i spoil my amp if i connect it using guitar cable?
Lastly, where can i buy a short and good speaker cable.
Thanks :D hope to be able to play my amp soon. sry for asking so much question.

You can use the normal 1/4inch cable (yes..the one you use normally use for your guitar to an amp) which is a mono. Or a stereo 1/4inch. Both are suitable. Don't worry. It won't blow up. Just connect it to the correct ohm output to input.
 
it's actually not recommended to use "instrumental cables"
aka guitar to amp cables
to connect head to cabs.

These cables are meant for low current devices.
Using them probably won't cause any problem ... but you never know.

Think most instrument shops at Peninsular or SL etc will
be able to make one up for you easily.

Alternatively go Sim Lim Tower, buy the parts
( 2 pieces mono 1/4inch jack and a length of speaker cables )
spend 5 min soldering and thats it.
 
Thanks, everyone, just brought a speaker cable.
Only found it after searching through around 6 - 7 guitar shop:(, the reason why i have to go to so many shop is there is no stock, shortest only got 10 feet-_-, lastly most shop duno what speaker cable is after i telling them it the cable that connect the head to cab. And think instrumental cable is the same.
Difference between speaker cable and guitar cable

Anyway, my speaker cable brought from Dan 4th floor of Peninsular. Enjoying my amp now;)
