:hmm: To the best of my knowledge you will not be able to wire two 8 ohm speakers and two 16 ohm speakers all together and get 16 ohms. To have 4 speakers wired at 16 ohms you will need to wire them series/parallel and you will need all four speakers to be rated at 16 ohms. If you wired only the two 8 ohm speakers together in series they will be 16 ohms, but you can only do this with 2 speakers. You cant wire two 16 ohm speakers together and get 16 ohms. If you wire two 16 ohm speakers in series you will get 32 ohms and if you wire two 16 ohm speakers in a parallel you will get 8 ohms. :bangs head:

My suggestion to you will be get all 4 speakers rated at 16 ohms and wire them series parallel this will give you a 16 ohm load.

:cheers:
