Dear Toobie_noobie:
1) If you have 16 Ohm speaker, that means the internal impedence of the speaker is 16 Ohm. Any external "config wire" cannot change this though. If you want to parallel with another 16 Ohm speak then you will get effective 8 Ohm, but you end up with two speakers per channel that needs more power from your amp.
2) I assume that you have a pair of bi-wired cables so you can parallel connect to two speakers per channel. But if you connect to single speaker per channel, you still get 16 Ohm per channel.
Hope this is helpful.
Best Regards,
Joe
