    BLAST kING! Never heard of it. the only way it makes a difference is by what amplifier you have or one you will be getting. 2 4ohm speakers wired in parallel give you a 2ohm mono load. 2 8ohm speakers wired in parallel give you a 4ohm mono load. if you are using a mono channel amp you would need to find out whether or not it is 2ohm mono stable. which most amps are. but if you would be using a 2 channel amp and using both channels you would need the 4 ohm subs. this is all considering we are talking about a car audio system. if you are buying these for an in home system you would need to check your amps ratings.

    parallel wiring is positive to positive negative to negative

    I agree with Cornell, it depends on you aplication.

    If the impedance is the only issue will depend on how much amps and speakers you are going to drive.
