if the factory monsoon speaker at the B-pillar is a DVC with two 4ohm coils each with their own channel off the monsoon amp, what would happen if i used a higher quality aftermarket speaker with one 4 ohm voicecoil, and used both channels' positives to the speaker's positive and both channels' negatives to the speaker's negative. if i can only use one channel off the amp, i will, but i'd rather be able to use both because i figured the two channels wouldn't exceed the power rating of the speakers. if i wired it in this fashion, wouldn't each channel still see a 4 ohm load? so in essence it would provide the same power to the single voicecoil as it did to the compined power of the dual voicecoils on the factory, right? i'm trying to wrap my head around the physics of it, but i am just not sure if it makes sense to wore the single voicecoil speaker this way.

The website I posted earlier has several different size Dual voice coil speakers.   I would not reccomend connecing the 2 positive wires together to feed the single coil of an aftermarket speaker.  I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings by calling your 6 year old car a classic.  I have no idea what size the speaker in your b pillar is, but I figured that this website may have a dual voice coil speaker that would fit.  No physics involved.

I know of only 1 automotive amplifier that is capable of doing what you are asking to do.  I really can't think of a way to explain why you can't do it.

can anybody explain the physics behind it? i'm imagining it wouldnt be much different than two batteries in parallel on a diesel starter. they take more current to turn the starter, so they use a second battery to provide more cranking amps.  one batery would be capable of 9500 watts, but two can put out 19000 watts. why wouldnt it be the same for having two voltage sources wired in parallel to one higher quality, higher rated voicecoil vs one source on one voicecoil and one on the other on a not as high quality dual voicecoils?

You need to use a dual voice coil speaker. You can't run an amp like you described to a single voice coil speaker. What you would be doing is shorting out two audio channels and the amp won't take this.
