There is a way to get 4 out of an 8 speaker. I don't know how to do it, but I've read that it is in the way it is hooked up with the rest of your speaker. I think you have to split the signal with another sub.
4 is not always > than 8, see my previous post

You can wire speakers different ways to present a different load on the amplifier, for example, if you have two 8 ohm speakers, you can present either a 4 or 16 ohm load on a mono amplifier. If you have two 4 ohm speakers, you can give either a 2 or 8 ohm load on a mono amplifier.
