    dual amps routing hard left and hard right question

    I want to pan one amp to my left speaker and the other to the right. Do i use the balance control of the amp? the cab? or do i just throw the mixer block in after both amps and adjust the correct sliders? Will i have to decrease the level of each amp to sound correct through one speaker? And...
