Ohm question

OK, first off, I doubt i would ever try this, but i was just curious about something and thought i would get everyones take on this.

Bear with me now, im a little rusty on electronic formulas, and i might have this bass ackwards.

Basic understanding of electronics dictates that if you have 2 10ohm loads and wire them up in series you have a 20 ohm load right?

And if you have 2 10ohm loads, and wire them up in parallel, you get a 5ohm load right?

So, if you stack 2 4ohm speakers, what impact would you see as a result of wiring them in series to create a 8 ohm load?

How would it impact sonics?
Amperage?
Wattage?

Sonics-wise, it wouldn't be too good (except if yer stackin Marshalls) !!
My guess on the amp-watt thing they would be split in half.
There was a post the other day about stacking Dahlquist DQ-10's, didn't look too promising though.
It was done with some Vandy 1-C's at a dealer with pretty good sucess, so go figure.
I'm duckin out......... here come da hammers and daggers !!
