Yes. You are only connected to TWO VOICE COILS, and those are in parallel!
The jumpers you have on the right side of each woofer are shorting the second voice coil, they are not in the circuit.
Those jumpers? They are where the 2OHMS is in the diagrams... Try it again!
Turn your woofers 90 degrees, so the terminals are at the top and bottom, it'll look better to you! Then it'll look just like the diagram.

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."
