You will usually want to wire the voice coils in series so each sub is 8 ohms. then parallel the subs to bring it to a 4 ohm load.

You are correct as well... Leave it that way.

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."
