yes that would work rather well, provided the impedance rise was alright.

Hmmm....series the coils and parallel the drivers gives me .66ohms.....

It's the old math, maybe something changed since I was in school.....

I hope the rise comes thru in time, you're starting from a pretty low load....

Those amps WILL NOT do anything lower than a 2 ohm load strapped.
