I have my 8pre firewired to Sonar 7 and the main outs connected to my 4x12 via 1/4 guitar cables.
I have my guitar head 1/4 inched to ch 8 of my 8 pre.
I get a very low monitor signal, while getting a strong guitar signal.
Sonar 7 main out is motu main outs (Right, Left)

My question is, how do I make my monitor back louder for the room, without adjusting the power of the actual guitar signal? I want to make my guitar louder than the drums, as if I were playing straight through the head to the cab; while digitally recording.

Any ideas? Feedback?

update:
the head is being used so that the effects will process (eq,distortion, levels)
going (direct out/phones) 1/4inch to ch 8 8pre.

the motu main outs (1/4 inch) i figured served to monitor, so i directed them to the 4x12 (just a speaker cab)

i realized, the cab has no power so is receiving a low signal, maybe not one for monitor use. Would this mean I get a separate power amp, or could i possibly route the (left- right) cab to chnls 1-2 of the motu, phantom power and separate bus the two?
just trying to think of any ideas.

Yep, the main outs are a line level signal. You'll need to amp it up before the speaker cab.

To clarify further... ALL the outputs on ALL of MOTUs audio interfaces are line level, and will need to go into a poweramp first, or use active-monitors.
