It's generally frowned upon to wire different impedance & brand/type of speakers together though... watch out OP

x2 as in theory the 4ohm speaker will be receiving double the power of the 8ohm speakers...

Tell us i detail what speakers you are wiring together, I can help you.

So theoretically would be workable if the 4 ohm speaker can handle double the power of 8 ohm speakers though right or is there some hidden surge of power that will ruin everything?

WAY too many variables unknown here. But, in general as stated above, it's not looking like a good idea unless the circumstances are just right which I *doubt they are...
Tell us more details Op, we can help you.

Personally I'd get a 4ch amp and parallel the 8's off 2ch's and the 4's off the other 2ch's....
