if you run 4 like the picture below and the other 4 the same way, and then run the 2 sets of 4 in series you should get a 1ohm load. Make sense?

I think you mean 4 ohm load... right? Two 2 ohm loads, wired in series, equals 4 ohms...

Paralleled, on the other hand, WILL provide you with a 1 ohm load.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
