looks like you are good up till u get to the 6x9 and tweeters. If you run the 6x9 and tweeter in SERIES, you will be ok. Correct me if I'm wrong (somone) but assuming the tweeter that is to powered together with the 6x9 is 4ohm, it would need to be ran in series for 7ohm load. If ran in parallel it would be 1.71ohm?

According to the amp's spec. it is only stable down to 2ohm stereo.

6x9 + >  - on tweeter + of tweeter > amp - of 6x9 > amp.

Make sure the tweeter has a capacitor, if not and you run full range out to it... POOOF! Time for a new tweeter.

hooking up highs amp -- posted image.

Don't concern yourself with the ohms on this drawing. This is how you hook two speakers in series.
