Amp Cab Question?

Just purchased a 2X12 cab and loaded it with 2 16ohm speakers. They're rated around 30-50 watts each (I'd have to look it up) so they should work just fine. I am going to use a JTM45 type amp head that has a selector switch for 4, 8 and 16 ohm loads. My question is it more efficient wiring the speakers in series to run at 16ohms or in parallel to run at 8ohms or does it make any difference?

2 x 16 ohm speakers in series will be 32 ohms, your only option is in parallel for 8 ohms.
