Greenhorn question: Beware!

Is a 4 ohm exciter speaker and a 6 ohm woofer box, wired in series (total 10 ohm) connected to an 8 ohm output amp OK?

So you should be ok with your situation. You can read here how your speakers will share power https://geoffthegreygeek.com/multiple-speakers-share-power/ P
