Run them in parallel - run speaker wires from 2 speakers to the left side of the amp and 2 speaker wires to the right side of the amp.
Done deal - simple!

As long as your amp is 2 ohm stable wire in parallel.

Re: Stereo Guys: amp question
agreed,....... are there any cons to parrellel apposed to series, battery issues, or drawing too much power, over heating the amp or blowing the amp or speaker?

I would never run anything over 4 ohms. Just wasting power. I've never needed fader control so I always used 2 channel amps with 4 speakers on purpose so I could do exactly what you are doing now. Never had an overheating problem or dead battery. The only reason I bought a 4 channel this last time is because I bought 2-ohm speakers.
