A pair of single 4 ohm drivers lands on 2 ohms in parallel or 8 ohms in series. Anything under 1 ohm, and many amplifiers at 1 ohm, is outside what the amplifier is built for, so series wiring is the safe default. Confirm the final load against your amplifier's minimum stable impedance before powering the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower handling is 800 watts RMS per driver, 1600 across the pair.
