if all the speakers are 4 ohm speakers and your amp can handle 2 ohm stereo on all channels you can just add the 2nd set of speakers to the rear channels of the amp wired in parallel.

And fade toward the fronts.  Or you could use deck power for the rear deck speakers (as you have two more speakers than you have channels on the amp!).

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Yes I just looked, its 4 X 100Rms at 2 ohms.. and each pair of speakers, all three sets are 60watts rms power handling, 180rms peak they also all are 4ohm speakers, so how do i do this so i dont fry anything... I know basics but when it comes to wiring all these I might get lost so if ya could please explain.. thanks for your help

If the amp was already installed and you had one speaker connected to each channel of the amp, you can simply install the new speakers and run the wires to the amplifier. Simply connect the new rear speakers to the amp along with the 2 existing rear speakers.
