[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8745396, member: 591582"] It's really simple. Let's say you have a wire that's a foot long and it's 2 ohms. If you wire another wire side by side, it effectively makes a single wire that's now twice as large (diameter), so you get 1 ohm of resistance. If you connect the 2 ohm wire to the end of another 2 ohm wire, to make a 2 foot long wire (double the length), the resistance doubles to 4 ohms. So all 3 subs at 4 ohms, when you run them at parallel, means 4/3 = 1.33 repeating. It should be somewhere around 1.3 ohms, 1.4, something close to that. If it's not, you've got a problem somewhere.
