Yeah my speakers are 8 ohm each and the cab is suposed to be wired in 8 ohm total.
So I think that this is a serie/paralel wiring, 2 pair in paralel which gives 4 ohm for each pair and those two pairs wired together in serie for a total of 8 ohm.

I just don't really understand why the picture doesn't look like the drawning...
