Combo + Cab question

Well, I finally got my Engl Thunder combo today and I'm really happy with it, surprisingly dark and warm sounding but that might have something to do with my dead strings. The internal speaker is currently disengaged and the poweramp plugged into a Framus 2x12 cab. Which configuration do I plug it in so I can have the internal speaker active as well? On the back there are 4 inputs 2 x8 ohm and 2x 16 ohm. It says underneath that in oreder to run the 2x 8ohm sockets simultaneously you must be putting in two 16ohm sources, and the opposite on the 2x16ohm sockets. The internal speaker was originally plugged into one of the 8 ohm sockets so I guess it is 8 ohms (label torn on speaker) and my cab is 8 ohm so I guess I should plug both into the two 16ohm sockets right? Confusing I know....

I'm thinking you're correct because your Framus cab is 8 ohms as is the internal speaker. Use the second set of outputs that say "2 X 8 OHMS - 16 OHMS SERIAL." Might want to double check with ENGL themselves, but I'm sure this is how you'd run both.

Yeah, I think I'll drop them a line today, it seems pretty obvious on the back panel but I just want to make sure.
