How can I wire 4 pioneer 6x9's= pioneer ts-a6993r with power ratings as follows:

Peak: 920 watts per pair / 460 watts each
RMS: 160 watts per pair / 80 watts each

To a four channel 1600 watt amp? The amps ratings are:

400 watts/ channel at 2 ohm
160 watts/ channel at 4 ohm
800 watts/ channel at 4 ohm bridged

So what's the best way to wire these speakers to this amp?

Your going to roughly get the same results from them.
I would wire each to a channel. You will have a better sound stage....and your amp won't work as hard....

There is no other safe alternative with the equipment you have.
