If a resistor increases the Q of the driver and a driver has its own resistance. All four drivers are connected in series or one after another. The first driver will be in phase while the other will have an increase Q. The high Q driver will react slower to the signal although it is the same driver. I don't have phase meter to measure my subwoofer's phase. I have looked into dolby surround sound and it shows that the surround channels have a phase of 60 degrees but inverted. This is why I came up with that conclusion.

Using 4 midrange drivers in parallel will have a impedance of 2 ohms or 1 ohm. A bridge amp will see 0.5 ohms. This is not good even on very high quality amplifiers. The devices will over heat and break down. It might even catch on fire. This is not good for car environments. You can do this but I suggest liquid nitrogen.
