Can anyone tell me if I calculated this right. Im trying to hook up
(4) 75W RMS single coil 4ohm speakers to a 150Wx2 RMS 2ch amp. I was going to put 2 speakers to each channel wired as a 2 ohm load. Will that work or am I backwards and I need to wire them as a 8 ohm load

I am sure your amp is capable of a 2ohm per channel load, then yes, wire them in parallel. If your amp is really really old and is not capable of operating into a 2 ohm per channel load, then you should wire them in series for an 8 ohm per channel load.
