What is the right impendance for 2 of these subs wired in a series..!!?

I heard that if you wire subs in a series the ohm’s add up so the 2 4 ohm subs will turn into 8ohm load..so the impendance has to be 8ohm.. is this correct..!!!

Yes, two 4 ohm SVC (single voice coil) subs wired in series will present an 8 ohm load. Wired in parallel they would present a 2 ohm load. Check out the Subwoofer Wiring Wizard here…
