its going to be a combination of series and parallel but if i were you id just get a four channel and parallel one set. you could put two in parallel and then one in series with those two on each side. its gonna be like 6 ohms so not much power but thats about your only option, otherwise youre gonna run the impedence down too low and it will sound like poo poo/trash the amp.

listen to nate, he knows what hes talking about. and if you run an amp at 2ohms bridged thats a 1 ohm load per channel which im guessing the amp you have probably wont handle that

that makes a lot more sence. now i dont have money for a new amp so i gotta work with what it is. right now i have them at 8ohms a channel. 2 speakers brigded pre channel. could i add a 3rd 4 ohm speaker along with 2 8ohm brigded speakers?
