6 ohms with two drivers??. It doesn't work that way at all.

a 4 and a 8 in series = 12 ohms
a 4 and a 8 in parallel = 2.67 ohms

__

two 4s and two 8s could be used together on one channel to get to 6 ohms as
follows

     ____4___8______
            4 8
In this configuration the 8s will take twice the power the 4s will. So for
each 100w applied, each 4 will get 16.6watts and each 8 will get 33.3watts.

hope this helps
