I am trying to write up lesson plans for my class and have a huge question. How would you wire 120 speakers that are single 8 ohm down to a final 1 ohm load? interesting huh?

8 single 8-ohm's in parallel is 1-ohm. My theory is that you have to have a set of every other x * 2 to make a 1 ohm load. 8 8-ohms, (skip 16), 32 8-ohms, (skip 64), 128 ohms, etc.

So 120 8-ohms into 1 ohm would not work. 128 would though.

128 it is then!

That sounds right. That is where I was with it. Group of 8 wired parallel then seriesed to another set right?
