say you have 4 speakers each 4ohm with 10W nominal power handling. if you
connect them in a series parallel network so that you have on load of 4 ohm
will the speaker network or load be able to handle 4 x 10W?

If so you can buy a bunch of reletively cheap speakers and make one huge
speaker box. Any comments?

Any comments?
Yes, one. LMAO!

Yes you can wire 4 - 4 ohm speakers into a 4 ohm load. Wire each pair
parallel, then wire both pairs in series.

The 4 speakers will still only handle 10 watts each. So you're looking at 1
x 40 watts.

If so you can buy a bunch of reletively cheap speakers and make one huge
speaker box. Any comments?

Not sure where you are going with this? What's your point?

I've read about this being done. In an OOOOOLD
CA&E one of the writers knew of a car with 3 boxes with 148 4" drivers that
was really clean and got stupid loud.

I want to buy cheap hifi speakers (say 4" - 6") and make a huge box. This
way I can have a good midrange "speaker" at an affordable price.

I'd love to try it once just for kicks. Maybe put it in my living room and
use it as a coffee table.

in a car i don't see how this would ever be considered a 'good' idea...

the extra wiring and space issues would seem to far outweigh any monetary
savings...
