Hey im new to these forums and this is my first time ever installing a radio in a car but i was wondering if wire caps are a "good" alternative to soldering the wires? i can do either but i really dont want to solder the wires together. also this is kind of off topic to the post but if i have 2 speakers in the back of my car that are 4 ohms and 2 up front that are 3.2 ohms will that damage anything? my reciever is rated for 45wattsx4 at 4 ohms. thanks for any help

By wire caps do you mean standard house wiring twist-on wire nuts?  These are not a good idea in a car as they can vibrate loose.  Use crimp-on connectors or solder.  I believe the anser to your speaker question is no, it won't hurt anything.
