What is the load of these subs?

I know you're not supposed to do this, but if I had 1 4ohm subs, and 1 8 ohms sub and they were wired in parallel, what would the total loud be on the amp?

2.66667 ohms

thanks. So I guess its:

amp load = sub resistance1 x sub resistace2 / sR1 + SR2

for parallel circuits: 1/R(total) = 1/R(1) + 1/R(2) + 1/R(3)... and so on

and so in you case 1/4 + 1/8 = 3/8 and thus total reistance is 8/3
