How do I connect my dark terror to a Marshall MG412A?

My question is because I´m new in the world of tube amps and cabs. I´ve done some research for a cab looking into the impedance but I´m a little confused about the impedance of the Marshall and the one that is in the amp. Where do I connect the cab to the two inputs of the amp?

The MG412A is an 8 ohm cab so connect the cab using one speaker lead to either one of the 8 ohm outputs on the back of the Dark Terror.

The 8 ohm outputs are wired in parallel.

If you had 2 x 16 Ohm cabs and wanted to use them both you could connect one cab to one 8 ohm output and another cab to the other 8 ohm output, as 2 16 Ohm cabs in parallel makes 8 Ohms. A tad confusing, I know.

Cheers,
Jon
