I think what your asking is if what you describe will work for a duel coil setup. You would be better off making two separate coils and installing each separately. By doing two coils you cut your resistance in half. (Ohms Law) Meaning if you build 2 coils at 2ohms your final ohm reading would be 1ohm for the build. I'm not sure how building the way you mention would work but if both pos leads are connected to the center post I would assume that it would cut the ohms in half. If you were to keep both coils on one side and only attach 1 lead to the Neg and 1 lead to the Pos it would read the resistance as 1 coil being 4ohms. I did a 4 coil set up making each side as you describe, but once installed, I clipped the loop off that went to the POS terminal connecting the two coils. When I was done I essentially created two coils.
OK now I see what you're saying and yes it does make sense but:
It seems like doubling the length of wire to make the circuit would at least
double your resistance.Not sure how well that would work.
Again hopefully some of the experienced coil builders will be along soon to help out.
