[QUOTE="daboyfrumdabx, post: 7198925, member: 617760"] Yes, run parallel. This will lower the ohms shown to the amp. The way you describe it will raise it to 8ohms(this is series wiring). Lowering will allow for the amp to put out more watts, however in some cases you have to be careful because some amps are not stable once you get too low. According to the specs of your amp, wiring at 2 ohms is fine. Technically wiring higher is supposed to yield less distortion, but the difference is so minute that it certainly won't be audible to an untrained ear. Judging by your description of the box(quad ported, plexi face), tells me you have a prefab bandpass box. It'll can get loud at a certain frequency, but will sound fairly crappy either way. In other words, with this setup, I would not be concerned about sound quality. [/QUOTE]
