Actually, unless I'm misunderstanding you, wiring in series does the opposite.

Wiring two 8 ohm speakers in series would give 4 ohms...two 4ohm units would give you 2ohms.

I have a plan A and B devised here.

Plan A involves me trying the 4 ohm subs, (since I have them already) with a fan added behind my receiver. Some receivers are well under rated to protect the manufacturer I have just been told, just not sure if Kenwood uses that same approach. I suspect they might, because this unit runs very cool.

If the amp thermally cuts out, then I'll stop.

Plan B inivolves leaving the 4 ohm subs in the case, but running a separate channel to them from a separate amp, off the sub out jack.

A is my cheaper/simplest option, but B builds off it, so no big waste of time.

Trying to make the most out of the parts/equipment I have already.
Kind of the mind set that got me into overclocking too.
