[QUOTE="staan, post: 8603864, member: 669929"] if you only want 4 just wire each pair in series then parallel those 2 loads to get 4 ohms which would work with your amp ie: one pair of 10's on 1 10 put a positive terminal to the neg on the other 10 then use the empty + and - like its a single 8 ohm speaker then take the other 2 10 or 12's and do the same, then take the resulting pair of 8 ohm leads and put both on the amp wired the same to get a 4 ohm load also be aware the cheap driver pairs may be out of phase with each other(ie: one brand may label + when the cone would move forward and the other may label + as its going backwards) you can use a small battery to touch on the leads to see the polarity(weather it pokes out or pulls in), you want the speakers moving in the same direction at the same time [/QUOTE]
