Default Question about series/parallel speaker setup

On 2/10/2010 6:26 PM ShadowTek spake thus:

Assuming that there would be 16 ohms on *both* sides of the parallel
(like I was originally thinking), the power distribution among the four
4-ohms and the one 16-ohm would be the same, right?

4+4+4+4

16


Yes; half on each side. You basically have a parallel network, so
current divides evenly between the two sides. (Voltage is equal across
both sides.)

You were wrong, and I'm man enough to admit it.
