how does certain wiring change impedance?

I understand that wiring subs in series has different impedance than wiring in parallel. I'm just curious to the logistics behind it. What makes them differ?

its called ohm's law.

google should be able to help you there.

Are you wanting to know how ohms law works or just how to wire coils to get different loads?

above is the actual part of ohms law that you would want.

some people need an analogy:

think about plumbing. you have a hose with water flowing through it. let's say the water flow is current and the water pressure is voltage, and the hose friction is resistance.

let's say a 50 foot section of hose is analogous to a speaker's voice coil resistance.

if i put two 50 foot sections end-to-end that is series wiring. and just as the water flow will encounter twice as much resistance, so does electricity.

if i put two 50 foot sections side-by-side they are in parallel and it is like doubling the surface area of the hose. the water will flow easier since is has half as much resistance, same as electricity.
