This is probably a stupid question to most of you, but i'm kinda stomped over this concept. Now, i know when adding a 2nd speaker, we can drop the ohms by connecting those wires to the terminals of the 1st speaker and the wires from the 1st speaker to the amp.
But what if I combine the wires for the 1st & 2nd speakers together and connect them simultaneously to one channel? Would that drop the ohms as well, or keep it the same, or maybe increase it? Any and all advices will help.

From your description it sounds like the two speakers would be wired in parallel and connected to one channel of an amp, for both of your cases, therefore both of them will have the same impedance load for the amp.
I don't really see where your confusion is for this. Wiring in parallel would have both positives of the speakers connected to the positive of the amp output, the negative of the speakers would be wired to the negative of the amp. It doesn't matter if each speaker terminal runs its own wire to the amp or if the speaker terminals are connected together and then one wire run to the amp; they are both equivalent.
