Wiring, ohms help

[undesiredshoe]

I have a pioneer cd player in my car. I have some boombox speakers that i want to put in the trunk for a ghetto setup because i have no money!

With my pioneer cd player, it says that i can control the bass so it goes to the back speakers and have the higher freqs go to the front speakers.

So I wired up my back speaker wires to the woofers in the boombox speakers and now i want to wire up the high freq speakers in the boombox to my front speaker wires.

The pioneer manual says that the operating range is 4-8ohms. Would connecting the extra speakers to the front output hurt the cd player or the speakers with the lowered ohms?

It's quite possible to fry the amplifier in your HU by doing that. Do you know the actual impedance (ohm) of the "boom box" speakers?
