OK, so I have a 4*100w pioneer to run my 4 Kicker 6.5's. I have 6 more MTX 6.5's I need to get an amp for. What type of amp and how much power do I need for the 6 MTX's? How do I wire 6 speakers into a 2 channel AMP? Thanks.

I'd say your best bet is to wire them in a series/parallel configuration. Wire two speakers together in series, then wire that set to the other speaker in parallel. Make sure the amp you get is 2 ohm stable in stereo, because each set of three will be showing each channel about 2.6 ohms.
