Adding speakers not always increments the audio output. In fact, the power from the amp is distributed over speakers in directly ratio of their impedances, but if they improperly phased, they substract the sound, and be sure that the 4 ohm is capable of carrying the entire current, then it will blown.
And, in addition, in the case the speakers are properly phased, in some positions of audition, because of constructive/destructive interference between sound sources, sound cancels.

Such as shown above, you would get a "nominal" 8ohm load. Having two identical drivers in parallel is OK. But sticking that pair in series with a different, outboard driver, that does not sound like a good idea.
Is the point to get more bass? Get an inexpensive plate amp for this 4ohm 12".

It rather sounds like you're talking musical instrument ( i.e. guitar?) "amp" with built-in speaker(s), in which case the "full range" forum might not elicit the most cogent replies - if you haven't done so already, try the Live Sound sections
Hi,
Smply try it and see what happens. Worst case its simply not as good
as either cabinet on their own. If the 12" is more a mid high driver
put an inductor across it so it doesn't affect the 2x10" 4 ohm bass.
(Cabinets must be in series for the parallel inductor.)
rgds, sreten.
