You can wire multiple speakers to the same channels on an amp? even if they draw different amounts of power...

they will draw the same amount of power, they may each need more but they will get equal. If you are talking about a 2 channel that is, single gain. what speakers and what locations would help answer.

I'm just going to run 4" coxial pioneers in the dash, 6.5 jensens in the front doors and 6x9 jenses in the rear pass side panels, nothing great but I figure all six of them will be loud enough over my 454 and 44" tires. If I run 3 singe 4 ohms speakers into one channel is a 1.34 ohm load, I dont many cheap 2 channels that run at 1 ohms //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif. If I get a 4 channel, run the front four speakers off two channels with gains high and then the rears with lower gains to get the ohm load right that would work find I presume?

Get a 100x2 or 150x2 and wire them all in parallel. I have done this in a couple of cars with a pair of tweeters, and (2) sets of door speakers front and rear. It will work fine, the amp will get a lil warmer working this ohm load, but as long as its not a super cheap brand, I think it will be fine.

You could get a 4 channel amp and that would be better, however considering what your running and what its for, save your money and go with the 2 channel.
