Series then parallel versus Parallel then series wiring

[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 4940525, member: 550915"] Don't listen to R/T Pimp. He fails at basic electrical theory. His explanation might be almost right...OK not really...if we were talking DC where current runs in one direction only, so there actually was a "first" and "second" load (though the basics of ohms law tell us that still doesn't matter) but with AC the direction of current travel is continuously changing. In theory, the motion of coil in the magnetic gap of the sub generates its own voltage and thus current. This current has to go somewhere and with a series circuit the only place for it to go it back to amp through the other sub. This current changes the response of the other sub. In a parallel configuration, each sub has its own "direct" path back to the amp. [/QUOTE]
