[QUOTE="jar1zx, post: 8615943, member: 630453"] I see your looking at 8ohm mids and 4ohm tweets =ohms dropped will always drop by half =ohms raised will always double. Two 4ohms drop to 2ohm and two 8ohms raise to 16ohm Drop ohms hook 2 speakers up ++ -- raise ohms take a wire and hook +and- to each other (wire just runs from a positive on one speaker and a negative of other and does not hook to amp in any way) now just hook up last 2 unused terminals normal to amp +to+ and on other speaker negative from amp to negative on speaker. You have just raised ohms Ok dropping and raising uneven ohm loads is kinda weird. A 4ohm and an 8ohm dropped is like 2.68 or 2.86 I forget but I'm sure someone can explain it. So to make it easy on yourself buy same ohm tweets and mids unless your using separate amps for each. [/QUOTE]
