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.

So, you really won't be working the amp that hard with the speakers you have. Buy it, wire your speakers in parallel and SMILE!!!

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.
