Ok, as far as I understand it, every speaker you are to an amp, the power is evenly divided to the speakers, example:

1 amp CH, puts out, say, 500w @ 4 ohms, you connect 1 speaker, with 1 4ohm VC and it gets 500w, you connect 2 2ohm speakers, each speaker gets 250w.... now if you use 1 speaker with 2 4Ohm VC's, you lower the resistance the amps sees, getting you more power, but, sicne it is 1 speaker, you get the full power to that 1 speaker, so, 500w amp, assuming it can handle a 2Ohm load, now puts out 1,000w to that 1 speaker, because of it's 4 4Ohm VCs.... right?

And I assum, putting, 4 speakers onto 1 amp channel does the same thing, lets say the 4 subs=4Ohm total, the amp puts out 500W @ 4Ohm, so, each speaker gets 125w... right?
