whats the ohm load of the speakers it should be listed on the back

whats the amp stable at?

just to be safe... connect the - of one speaker to the + of the other and use the remaining

wires to connect to the amp, so your using a - from one speaker and a + from the other

with the other two terminals connected together...just to be safe until you find out the

exact ohm loads

amp is stable at 4 ohms in 50x4 and 100x2 and speakers are stable at 4ohms

The pioneers are 4ohm

The kenwood amp is 2ohm stable stereo

You could just "stack them" like you said, this would be a parrellel connection so each channel would be running at 2ohms.

Just "stack" two speakers per output and you will be fine.
