The current will pass through the '80 watt' speaker, but this does not
necessarily mean that the 'power' passes though the speaker on its way to
the others. This is because the actual power is conveyed by the EM fields,
and the 80 Watt speaker has no way to know what electric potential
('voltage') is across any *other* loads in series with it. Hence it does
not actually experience the power being dissipated by the other units.

Thus, it now becomes the limiting power factor,

Afraid that, again, I'm not quite sure why you are saying this. Each
individual speaker unit has no awareness as such of what voltages or
currents or powers any *other* units experience. It only knows about the
potential between its own terminals, and the current that it then passes.


Current is measured in amps. If two units are connected in series,
the same amperage will flow through both. If not, where would it go?
The resistance of each unit will determine how much power is drawn by
it.

"Power is conveyed by the EM fields" is meaningless gobbledygook.
