Was wondering if anyone installed a external speaker jack on the back. Question how would you wire a jack that would shut off the internal speaker when using a external speaker?
Would you need a special jack to do so?
Thanks..

You'd need a jack socket with a built-in switch. These are standard items used for precisely this purpose. When nothing's plugged into the jack socket, the switch is closed, completing the circuit to the internal speaker. When you plug into the socket, the switch opens, cutting-off the internal speaker.

Just make sure that your external speaker rig has the same resistance load (ohms) as the mustang's built-in speaker or you could damage your amp (the output transformer...assuming it works similar to a tube amp's output transformer). And DON'T turn the amp on without any speaker attached...that's bad too.
