Wiring Subs to acheive a certain impedance?

Do you know how to wire a sub in series? If so then wire two subs in series, then wire another two subs in series, then another two. From there, take all the (+) leads and make them a single wire, then wire to the amp. Same with negative.

For wiring in series, do like so but imagine instead of a dvc driver this is two svc drivers.

Then, you have to think, this will be the same as three single voice coil drivers with a final resistance of 8ohms, if I wire them in parallel it will be 2.6666667ohms final impeadance.

Take the (+)1, (+)2 and (+)3 and crimp them together to a single wire. Then run that wire to the (+) on the amp. Take the (-)1, (-)2 and (-)3 and do the same, like so

Again, imagine instead of 2speakers being wired together imagine them as one speaker to read the aforeposted picture.

Any problems??

HAHAHAHAHA!!! No problems at all. That's one of the best explanations I have ever read. Thanks so much for your help.
