You have several options depending on your amplifier, and what you are trying to achieve.
Yes, if you series the 2-12's (2+2=4 ) you will get 4 ohms, and if you parallel the 2-4ohms, you will get 2 ohms 4x4 devided by 4+4 .
keep in mind, that a bridged amplifier (stereo to mono) will react to half of the resistance it "sees" . So if you have a 2 Ohm load, the amplifier will react to a one (1) ohm load (not recommended).
