If you connect a device like a LED or a speaker in series, that means that you connect the positive terminal of one speaker/LED to the negative terminal of the other speaker/LED and apply the audio/voltage to the remaining positive and negative terminals. When you connect devices this way, that means that both of the speakers/LEDs are getting the exact same current, but different voltages depending on the position in the parallel circuit.

If you connect a device in parallel, then that means that the device's positive and negative terminals are connected to the other device's positive and negative terminals, and then voltage is applied to the positive and negative terminals of the devices respectively. This means that the devices are getting the same voltage but the current varies and is highest at the positive connection and lowest at the negative connection. (The voltage that each device is getting is determined quite easily by doing the sum 'input voltage / number of devices'.)
