Run the dash speakers of the Hu and the other 4 off the amp. You won't overload the amp that way.

I would run the rear 4x10's off the deck and the doors and dash off the amp. 4x10 **** *** anyway and putting power on them wont really gain you much. but being able to hpf the dash speakers will make those sound a lot better than running full range off the deck.

I have seen some ppl use the cover panels and install 6x9's in them. that would be money better spent than the 4x10's. I would probably still run the 6x9's off the deck just because they will play full range the best. or get another amp for one set of the speakers.
