I have a 98 chevy 4 door blazer.  I recently installed a mono amp and a sub and replaced the speakers.  I've decided that I would like to install an EQ for some more sound options, and maybe an amp to get more sound out of my door speakers.  Can I run 2 dash and 4 door speakers from a 4 channel amp?  How would I do that?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What sizes are the speakers?  But yes you can connect 6 speakers to a 4 channel amplifier.  Connect the 2 rear speakers to the rear channels and connect the dash and door speakers to the front channels of the amp.  Depending on the size of the dash speakers you may have to install a crossover capacitor on the smaller of the front speakers.

the dash are 4x6 and the doors are 6 inch rated at 250 watts.  I didnt get anything too fancy, just some sony xplods.  So is it worth the amp for the speakers?  will it make a difference?  i'm thinking that would be the only way to put an EQ in there.  let me know what you think

Drop the EQ idea and channel those $ to better speakers and a amp to power them. Better speakers come to life when you add power. Look at a set of 6.75" component speakers for the front and a 6.75" coax type speaker for the rear and as you correctly assumed above, a 4 channel amp to power them all.
