24x 8ohm speakers ~192ohm in series.

Now I've seen systems go .5 ohm and less, so the 1/3 ohm setup in parrellel isn't impossible, but I really can't imagine the setup in series.

Can you show us the setup in question?
easiest way to do it, in my example, is to wire 6 sets of FOUR speakers parallel which gives you a total of 1 ohm per set. Then you can wire them either series/parallel for a final load at the amplifier of 1.5 ohms(newer amplifier that can handle it, or, those old Soundstreams) or in series with a final load of 6 ohms which in a mono configuration at the amplifier the amp would "see" 3 ohms, which is perfectly acceptable even with the older amps.
