Serial and Parallel drivers

I know this has been asked many times before, but there are many different answers and a lot of wrong information. Is the following correct or incorrect about series or parallel drivers?

If I connect 2 drivers in series:
1) 3db louder at the same wattage
2) half the current at the same voltage
3) twice the impedance
4) twice the wattage before distortion
5) twice the wattage before damage

If I connect 2 drivers in parallel:
1) 3db louder at the same wattage
2) twice the current at the same voltage
3) half the impedance
4) twice the wattage before distortion
5) twice the wattage before damage

The rules for connecting a set of drivers already wired in series or parallel are exactly the same as for connecting individual drivers.
