You can wire subs in series, since you don't care about high frequencies, and passive filters for subs are basically coils anyway. But you cannot do that for full range speakers. The reason is that the frequency response that you will be sending to each speaker will be proportional to the inverse of it's impedance graph (or conductance as you pointed out). Just google some speaker impedance curves and see if that's the response curve you want to be sending your full range speaker.

Well, the job is done. Subwoofer installed (Kenwood KSC-sw11) and it fits beauty under the passenger seat. Not going to blow the windows out, but adds some nice depth to the music. And the 4 JL's wired in series (2 and 2) in the rear really help fill out the cabin. System sounds very good - much better than before.
No audio expert - but can say the speakers in series sound just fine - certainly not 'crap' as posted they would.

And you own ears are what should always be the ultimate judge of an audio system, NOT the comments based on my ultra-anal compulsive perfectionism disorder!

It ain't real without pictures 
Did you have to modify anything to get the sub to fit under the seat?

The sub is super small, just slid right in, no problem. So yeah, while not the biggest sound, does quite fine in that small cabin.
I'll try to get a pic tomorrow.

Put some JL TR350 CX's in the back. Nothing fancy - but for the money, good value I feel.
The sub is in an enclosure - google Kenwood KSC-SW11 for some pics. Fairly heavy, but quite compact.
