I'm a newbie to the whole industry and i'm currently trying to but a sound system together. was just wondering if it would be ok to run 4 x 300w 8 ohm subs from 1 x 1600w 4 ohm amp (800w per channel)?

 

I'd be simply connecting 2 of the subs to the amp and then a sub to each of these subs using the jack ports on the back (if that makes sense). Am i right in thinking this would then make the subs 300w @ 4 ohm?

 

I'm new to all of this and I've been trying to read about connecting speakers in parallel or series. would the above be parallel or series?

 

sorry if this is basic but we all have to learn somewhere.

 

Thanks
