[QUOTE="thch, post: 5794633, member: 562032"] its more of an issue with different speakers or different boxes for those speakers. I typically try to wire in series things that are most similar. differences are likely small. for 8 woofers, you probably don't need to strap amplifiers either. you should be able to just wire the correct combo of speakers to each amp. In this case, each amp could be connected to a 1ohm load. This will provide the same power to the speakers, improves reliability (just from the "if an amp goes bad it's effects are limited" sense), and makes the wiring easier to follow. It also removes all series connections, making things simpler yet. [/QUOTE]
