How many speakers is recommended to run parallel on one channel? Does it matter all if the series are different FE if i have two different types of speakers. Like if I had two different types of tweeters or if I have tweeters and component speakers, or if the ohms are different for each of the circuits? I know that I need to follow the rule of adding up the ohms and I know what ohms my amp can run, but I was wondering if there is anything else I should worry about? I want to run a bunch of smaller speakers on one big amp.

You can connect as many speakers as you like to an amp as long as you keep the net impedance above the lowest the amp can handle. It may sound like absolute dog crap, but electrically it's fine.

Well what you you recommend the most you could combine before it begins to crap out?

There is no such thing. I've built line arrays with 24 drivers per channel. It's all about proper wiring and proper system design.

What are you actually trying to do?
