that would be 16 ohm. 2 16's in parallel become 8 ohm.

Also the speaker should say how many ohms it is...

Correct and make certain that you wire them in parallel not series or you will wind up with a 32 OHM load and REALLY cut you amps power!
I many times will run a cab under my 1/12 combos for outdoor gigs. I have 16 OHM speakers in both my combos and both cabs are wired 16 ohm so I get an 8 OHM overall load when running them all together.
