Help...Complicated 4-sub wiring problem...

[Pimpdaddyq 10+ year member]

ok i have a friend who has the Hifonics ZX1000 amp... he has 4 Fosgate 15" HE's and they are all 8 ohm subs... now wiring them all into parallel would be a 2 ohm load, yes... but is it possible to basically think of it as 2 subs and make it like a "Dual 8 ohm subs"? As if each set of subs is 2 subwoofers...wiring one sub to the other...so one subs - to the others + and then do they same for the other 2 subs and put the 2 together into a 4 ohm load? Amp pushes 1000w at 4 ohms bridged which is perfect for all 4...confusing? hell yes...please help thanks!

wire two subs in parallel to make the load of each set 2ohms. then wire both sets together into a series load to get the final 4 ohms.
