6 -4ohm speakers to 4-channel amp

Exactly how the title states, how would I wire six 4-ohm speakers to one 2-ohm stable 4-channel amplifier.

Thanks

I'd probably run 4 speakers to the front channels of the amp (2 ohm stereo load to the amp) and run the other 2 speakers off the rear channels.

Exactly right. Run two speakers in parallel to each of the front two amp channels to show the amp a 2 Ohm load on those channels (whatever the amp's output per channel @ 2 Ohm stereo will be split between the two speakers attached to that channel. The final two speakers can attach one each to the remaining two channels to run at 4 Ohm stereo. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
