I am wanting to wire my new tang band 3" drivers like this :Option 1 (parallel) = 4 ohm load
Speakers wired in parallel
Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 4, 2, or 1 ohm mono
Two 8 ohm SVC Speakers = 4 ohm load
My question is this, I have two channels left on my four channel amp and wanted to run these in stereo , the way this wiring diagram looks I would only be able to use one of the two channels at the amp . Is there a way to wire them with a 4 ohm load using both channels but in stereo ?Or am I wrong?sorry if confusing , twisted my medulla oblangata as well!!!!lol thanks

No.
So why don't you just run one speaker one each remaining channel? Running an 8 ohm load, versus a 4 ohm load, you will only get 3dB less output, and you WILL NOT HEAR that difference anyway. Also, the amp will run with HALF the distortion, a VERY beneficial thing when driving mid-range frequencies, where your ear is EXCEPTIONALLY sensitive to any distortions.
Stop trying to make it so difficult on yourself! wiring speakers? -- posted image. Run at 8 ohms, and call it good.
Now, let me head your NEXT question off, even before you ask it... "at the pass", as it were. YES, if your amplifier is stable a 4 ohms, it will be perfectly stable and safe running an 8 ohm load, even MORESO than 4, 2, or even lower impedances (if it is claimed to do lower impedances, that is...). You can ALWAYS run higher impedance on a solid-state amplifier with ZERO issues.
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."
