if they are full range dont run the dash speakers.
when wiring in series like that you'll get an 8ohm load on the head unit = will half the wattage to each speaker, 50w is VERY VERY highly over rated, its like 10-15 tops.
if u said it says 20wx4 then thats REALLY low. so running the fronts in series will likely output less then 5w per channel = poop.
wiring them in parallel will get you to 2ohms, which most head units will crap out or not run that.
imo, wiring only the 4 best speakers (maybe no rears?) then if u want the 5th and 6th get a small amp.

Re: car stereo gurus......got a request
thats what i figured, just wanted to be sure.
mike: would running an amp on stock paper type speakers be safe
what wattage?? i dont want to blow these *****.
though its now sounding like i should save some $$$ and get some real speakers and a couple amps??(if i do i will be asking more later)
