Bare jumpers at:
D (N7:M7)
E (N9:M9)
M (G9:F9)
N (O28:O29)
Red jumpers at
H (F16:D16)

You say 'a nice 8 ohm speaker' but nothing about how many watts @ X ohms
Mabye You can answer a Q.
I have ac/dc nexxtech amplified speakers. alone not attached to anything else.
I figgured that if I use a 1/4'-1/8" reducer to the"mic" input, I could play my "non battery" guitar through this.
Running on AC, I put my "plug" into the mic hole, and get zero sound..
Do I have to preamp this, or what did I do wrong?
Thanxs for any opinion.

everything going across is attached so if you had a wire in pin A it would be connected to pin a but not pin E or F and this is true for all the "sections"
so if you had a pin in ABC and D then you would solder those four wires together if you had a pin in E then you would solder it to G and same is true with F you would solder it to H this is true for all sections on all
-breadboards- (thats the name of them) they are great for testing where you may need to change a wire so you dont have to solder until you are ready
