Default dual ESC's

If I were to use two 7.2 volt ESC's, with one 6 cell battery going to each, and connect the positive output wire of one ESC to the negative output wire to the other ESC, and connect the unused wires of each to the motor, would this give 14.4 volts or the equivalent of 12 cells to the motor, or will it just fry the electronics.

Its a bad idea from the start but it could work untill you get down to how it do you stick 2 esc wires into a reciver? Im not sure, they might make a 'Y harnes' so that you can run somthing like this...

Instead of buying two esc's that only handle 6-7 cells, why not just buy one that's capable of 12-16 cells and do it right?
