Is this what you call in series?

This would be wiring your two speakers in series across one output of the amp.
Not a good idea. Speakers should never be wired this way (apart from tanoy PA systems)

If you have a 2 channel amp that can be bridged, the amp is switched to bridged mode and the left and right "Black" terminals are joined together, you then connect ONE speaker across Left RED and Right RED.

So as the signal increases the left RED goes more -ve and the right RED goes more +ve. Double the voltage (and higher current output). ie you have balenced power out to the speaker.
