Talking DB drag rule question. (I DREW A PICTURE!)

This was pulled from the DB Drag rule booklet. Under Street Class B it states: "A maximum TOTAL of 4 electrical conductors may be used to connect the amplifier(s) to the woofer(s)."

I am a little confused about this. Say I have three 2ohm DVC subwoofers and I want to hook them up series/parrallel to an amplifier in order to put a 1.33 ohm load on the amp. (View the picture) There are two ways of wiring this. One would have 2 electrical conductors leading from one sub to the amp. The second would have 2 electrical conductors comming from each sub which would make a total of 6 electrical conductors. I know the second one is not possible in Class B but could I have a set up like the first example and still enter Class B or would that be considered cheating????? I think that question is clear enough but if it doesn't make sense I will explain better what I am trying to get at.

I guess from a purely technical standpoint your method makes sense, I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not though, since both wiring methods result in the same situation
