The type of speaker does not matter. Yes, you can use the subwoofer wiring application for any speakers for nominal impedance loads.

If I read your post correctly, you have an amplifier that is stable at 2 ohms per channel stereo and 4 ohms mono, and you have two 4 ohm single voice coil speakers. If you wire the speakers parallel, you will have a 2 ohm load. Yes, the power will be distributed evenly to each speaker, but you can only safely connect them to one stereo channel of the amplifier when wired at 2 ohms. You're better off wiring each 4 ohm speaker to its own stereo channel as you likely have it now.

Yeah I would have to run a speaker wire from one negative to the other Neg. And their each in separate doors. This would be difficult. Is there any way I can wire two 4 ohm speakers to 2 ohms without running that wire to each other. My only other option was to bridge them at 4 to get 200wrms but it would be in one channel having both sets of wires into one speaker spot on amp. And from what I know and you said it too you should only have one speaker per spot. Sorry my terminology isn't the best bit hopefully you get my drift.
It doesn't matter where the physical location of the parallel connections are, whether in the door or at the amplifier. If the door speakers are for reproducing anything other than frequencies below 100 Hz, I would not run them in parallel, unless you truly do not want to listen to music in stereo.

I've been asking a lot of questions lately, thanks for all the help. So I have a factory head unit. And I just put in a second amp for speakers. A four channel. I have one loc connected for my mono block. Could I add a second to give my 4 channel separate input
Or should I split the existing rcas?
Thanks
And I just bought another loc I was going to swap out cause it has a bass knob. But I do t want to use it on speakers obviously and if I'm giving both amps a signal from it I won't be able to use it. That's where this thought came from. One loc for 4 channel, the other with bass knob for monoblock
Yes, you can use an LOC on the front and rear, and RCA Y adapters if needed.

So I currently have 2 RE 12s. And no also have a dd 10". Can I add the 10 somewhere in my setup. Would this be beneficial. Maybe have the ten set to play some higher hz. Thoughts?
Yes, you can. Probably not.
