In some circuits I see four 20MHz crystals in series or sometimes in parallel!
What's equivalant value then?

oscillator crystals in series would only pass the frequency designed for the crystal to oscillate at.

In parallel they would block only the frequency of the crystal.

I think what you are asking is maybe a complex crystal matrix, which I have no firsthand answers. A diagram or application would help.
