You can just wire each speaker to its respective channel. The only difference is that the rear channel speakers will recieve 1/2 the power the front speakers will. They may not play with the same authority as the front speakers, but to me it wouldnt be that important as the front speakers are where you should focus.

yea, do like he/she said. aggie was right the 8 ohm speakers will receive less power. but you can compensate by tuning them evenly to get perfect sound.
