Dave, thanks. You pointed out a math error that made my question moot. I figured that out simultaneously and got out of bed to correct the post. Sorry for anyone's wasted time!

Modeling HO with a transition era UP bent
Hi Paul:
peahrensBut I overlooked that I could wire each duo in parallel to yield 2 ohms, then the duos in series, to get a net of 4 ohms.
I'm not sure how you calculated that two 8 ohm speakers wired in parallel would result in 2 ohms of impedance. My (admittedly limited) understanding is that such an arrangement would result in 4 ohms impedance.
Maybe I don't understand the speaker arrangement that you are suggesting.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
I've been installing sugarcube speakers in several HO diesel hood units lately and am prepping some others.
EDIT: I am changing the text as I made a dramatic math error. I explained that I had used four 8-ohm speakers to get 8 ohm impedance for some LokSound Select installs. I was interested in how to get four speakers to net as 4 ohm speakers, and mistakenly thought I could get that configured. So my question is moot about 4-speaker configuration to attain 4 ohms, unless 4 ohm sugarcubes were available. Sorry for the big error.
