I would run the rears off of one ch and run the tweeters and front speakers off of the other, the amp will be 2 ohm stereo so you will be ok hooking two speakers to one ch, if you are also running subs you can set the x/overs to high pass if not you could run the rears in full range and the fronts in high pass with a x/over frequency of around 100 hz.

so i would run the rears on one terminal or on two terminals?

i.e. + - (L speaker) + - (R speaker) or + - (L & R speakers)

you will use left positive and negitive for the left speaker and right positive and negitive for the right speaker, for the fronts you will combine the left front speaker positive with the tweeters positive and the negitive with the tweeters negitive and do the same on the right side.

This is how you would run the sub in a trimode configuration http://www.eatel.net/~amptech/elecdisc/trimode.htm But your amp must be tri mode compatible in order for it to work.
