6 speakers to 4 channel amp

[MisterE 10+ year member]

Im trying to wire up 6 speakers to a 4 channel amp...

i have 2 pair in front, and 1 pair in back.

Can I run the back pair (Channels 3, 4 we'll say) at 4 ohms each while running the 2 front pairs off channels 1 & 2 @ 2 ohms each channel?? Like can I run a different load off each channel?

Also, if Im running two speakers off one channel (two 5 1/4"s left lets say) do I just wire them up like subwoofers?

Thanks

Yes

Yes, just wire them in parallel like you normally would.

Just be sure that you wire the two left speakers to one channel, and the two right speakers to the other channel.

thanks dude

oh and is it cool to run speaker wire down the same side of the car as power? or should i run the wires all the way under the dash to the other side (say, from the right speakers)

Yes, that's fine.
