Getting to the point: Does anyone know of an adapter to go from a 4-pin XLR cable to a male 1/4"?

For those that want to know why: I'm making a new "Frakenrig" for my bass.

For the head I'm using the amp out of an 1968 Ambeg BT-15 Portaflex.

I have two cabs, both of which are 8ohms (2x10 with a horn and a 1x15).

The amp has one quarter inch speaker out. I was running that out of the head, into the 1x15, and from the 1x15 into the 2x10, but it was over driving the 2x10 cab (because, I think that makes everything 16ohms). On the other hand, one cab hooked up to the output sounds great.

So here comes the question. There is another cable out of the back of the head that was originally hooked up to the speaker inside of the Portaflex. That cable is hardwired into the back of the head, and the end that goes to the speaker is a female 4-pin XLR cable. Does anyone know of an adapter to go from a 4-pin XLR cable to a male 1/4"?

Ideally, I'd just plug it into a 6x10 or 8x10 Ampeg cab, but that is $$$.

dats 3-pin...

That's just what the "Port-o-flex" used for it's speaker cable, it was not lo-z. Pins 1 and 4 were the speaker wires and 2 and 3 were shorted. Could be worse, earlier ones used an 8 pin tube socket.
