Just for future reference, always use the product divided by the sum when using parallel set up.

So 8*8/(8+8) = 64/16 = 4 ohms.

what is the product
what is the sum?

Not understanding your questions. Do you mean the actual calculation or what they stand for?

Bottom line is "product" means multiply. So you take the Ohm rating of the speakers and multiply them together. Two 8 ohm speakers - 8*8=64.

Sum means addition. Take the Ohm ratings and add them together. 8+8 =16

So the product = 64 and you divide that by 16 or (64/16) which = 4 Ohm total load.

This is parallel wiring only. Series you just add them together. ex. 8 + 8 = 16 Ohm load.
