[QUOTE="maylar, post: 21275, member: 541144"] You are correct, if the 2 subs have the same impedance then 2 in parallel will be half, 2 in series would be double. Series always adds, regardless of the numbers, example 4 ohms + 2 ohms = 6 ohms. Works if the 2 are the same or not. Parallel is different. It's the "reciprocal formula"... total = 1/ (1/R1 + 1/R2). So a 2 ohm and 4 ohm in parallel is 1/ ( 1/2 + 1/4) = 1.33 ohms. For 2 coils the same it comes out to 1/2 each but for anything else you need a calculator. Easiest thing to remember is that series adds, and parallel will always be lower than either one. Hope I didn't confuse you more. [/QUOTE]
