Yes, it's that simple. Just be aware that the DC resistance you measure with the meter will be slightly less than the actual AC impedance. For a "16 ohm" speaker, it might measure 15 ohms or so.

You can't really measure power handling capacity, thats a rating given by the manufacturer based on how much power the speaker can handle, so I wouldn't combine it with any less than 3 other speakers.
