4 channel amp wiring question

[flamedstang3024]

I just bought a eclipse EA4000 4 channel on ebay and it should be here in the next couple of days. I've got 4 speakers and 2 tweeters im wanting to hook up. All 4 speakers are 4 ohm kicker 6x8's. The tweeters are pioneer 7/8" 4 ohm. The tweeters are already ran to the speakers up front and ran to the headunit as of right now. I was worried that hooking the tweeters inline with the front 6x8's might would change the ohm load to the amp? the tweeters do have built in crossovers. I think i could do it this way but just want to make sure before i mess with it. Just need to know if that would be fine or how i could wire it. Thanks in advance.

it will change the load the amp sees. keep in mind the ea series are only 4 ohm stable so adding the tweets would not be a good thing to do unless you wire the speakers down to 8 ohms.

so you think it would sound better just to hook all 4 speakers up to it getting a 4 ohm load and then just running the tweeters to the headunit? or i have also heard that alot of people dont even use their rear speakers, so another option would to be run front set of speakers and tweeters and leave the rear out. would that sound good or not? thanks.
