There will be as close to half the power on each side as is matters

half on the other.


Thanks.


This is my first time attemping to wire speakers in both
series/parallel, so I wanted to be sure.


What problem are you trying to solve?


Didn't you see his original message? [Assuming gender here]

At my disposal are three 4-ohm speakers and one 16-ohm speakers.
I'm considering wiring the three 4-ohm speakers in series, then
connecting that in parallel to an 16-ohm speaker, which should result
in in overall 8-ohm load.


[I think he actually has *4* 4-ohm speakers, or maybe not.] So he's
trying to use what speakers he has at hand. Sounds reasonable to me.
