Hi, I have these really nice polk audio speakers that i want to run off my new deck. They are 8ohms each. I was told that i could hook them up to my deck but i am not sure how to do that without messing up my deck. I will have an amp hooked up to my rear pre-outs to play 2 other speakers, and i want to run these polk audio speakers off the decks front channel. Please Help.

Is the deck already installed and connected to other front speakers?  On a lot of radios the wiring diagram is on the outer case of the radio.  Just use that.  You'll have Front Left  + and - and Front Right + and -.  Connect those Polk Audios to your front channel and you should be good.  Just make sure you are connecting + of the radio to + of the speaker, - of the radio to - on that same speaker, then do the same with the other channel be it right front or left front.
