if you don't put a passive crossover on them bad boys you will not have to worry about ohm loads because you will destroy your speakers.

best bet is to bi-amp them if you have a 4ch amp, run the mids off of the rear channels and the tweets off the front channels, and adjust the gain to fit each driver's RMS rating

If they're being mounted on the rear deck, it's a fair chance it's going to sound like trash anyway...

yeah, find a passive crossover, and you'll be in business.
