I'm assuming that when you wire speakers in series they look like a line with the positive wired to the negative and then the negative wired to the positive etc.
Groups of series and parallel look like a ladder. The bottom of the ladder are the connections to the amp: one positive, and one negative. The rungs are the groups of series wired speakers.
IF my calculations say that I need 2 four speaker groups wired in parallel, then I would have 2 sets of 4 speakers in series. Each of these 2 sets would be the rungs of the ladder.
My stupid question is: is the last rung, one of the two sets of 4 speakers in series, or do the sides of the ladder continue and connect with a solid wire effectively joining the positive and negative wires in one more rung above the speakers which is a solid wire, or does it not really matter?
