Parallel wiring: 2-4ohm subs, 2-8ohm subs

lets say i have a class d mono amp (1 ohm stable) and 4 subs. 2 of the subs are 4 ohm and the other 2 are 8 ohm. if i wire them in parallel would i get an ohm load of 1.33 ohms? AND, if this is possible and my math is right, would all of the subs receive the same power, or would the 2 4 ohm subs get more? they are the same exact subs, just different impedences. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

It would be a 1.33 ohm load, yes. Actually, the 8 ohm subs will get half the power that the 4 ohm subs will. Power divides between resistance, the increased resistance of an 8 ohm sub takes away from the voltage and current going to it.
