1/R = 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8.
1/R = 4/8.

R = 8/4.
R = 2 ohm.

P (total) = (V*V)/R.
P (total) = (12*12)/2.
P (total) = 72 Watt.

Therefore, P = 72/4
P = 18 Watt(for each speaker).

Rt = 1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8.

Rt = 2 ohm.

I = 12/2 = 6 amp.

P = 6*12 = 72 watt.

1/R=1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8.

R=2ohm,
I=V/R,
=12/2=6A.
P=I^2R.
=6 * 6 * 2 = 72W.
