Four 12" subs in a blazer?

Not trying to throw up a BS flag, but mathematically that would mean that their either running really low impedance if parrallel, or really high impedance in series.

24x 8ohm speakers in parrallel would be like .33 ohms total
or
24x 8ohm speakers ~192ohm in series.

Now I've seen systems go .5 ohm and less, so the 1/3 ohm setup in parrellel isn't impossible, but I really can't imagine the setup in series.

Can you show us the setup in question?

Running a combination of series/parallel. It was 24 Soundstream 12s running off a Soundstream 10.0. Your math is right if you stay series OR parallel but you can mix it up too. There were sets of 4 wired wired parallel then series

easiest way to do it, in my example, is to wire 6 sets of FOUR speakers parallel which gives you a total of 1 ohm per set. Then you can wire them either series/parallel for a final load at the amplifier of 1.5 ohms(newer amplifier that can handle it, or, those old Soundstreams) or in series with a final load of 6 ohms which in a mono configuration at the amplifier the amp would "see" 3 ohms, which is perfectly acceptable even with the older amps.
