how to wire 6 speakers to a 4 channel

[the moose]

you could use a set of 100 hz bass blockers on your woofers. these are actually . non polarized capacitors dimple Fire will not see the load in ohms, heck... if you're running a sub, you can use them all your speakers

instead of using the crossover on the amp, why???

Bass blockers will filter out bass below we'll say 100 Hz for example, and when you put them in series with your speaker, the amplifier will not read your speaker in ohms .

As for the mid driver tweeter setup with using 4 channels, why not save the other two channels for two other full range/mid bass/midrange speakers instead of placing just tweeters on them only . Saves having to buy yet another amp for more speakers.

I ran 500w to a 100w 6.5" for years. its not the amp doing more than rated power, its your settings.

very curious what the nominal load was vs the reactive load.....

I'll let it eat at you.

it wont

I was worried it would eat at you and keep you up at night. Just worried about your health man. it means I care

You can still use the crossover on the amp but this is concerning overheating your amp from too low of an ohm reading ( anything under 2 ohms per channel or depending on the specs of your amp.) Most amplifiers a few years ago were only 4 ohm stable, now they are mostly 2 ohm stable per channel in the non bridged mode. So if the op wants to connect two 4 ohm speakers in parallel if the amplifier specs say it is safe to use a 2 ohm load (4ohm/2=2ohms) and they double the output of the amp. Now if they run their speakers in series they double the ohm load to 8 ohms (4ohmsx2=8ohms) and they half the wattage output of the amp also. If the op wants to run let's say... 3 - 6.5 speakers per channel, I would use a bass blocker on at least one of them . You could make one or two into a mid bass driver/s starting at the mid bass range. Now most coaxials have one or two midrange/tweeters incorporated within the woofer, these midrange/tweeters normally come with a capacitor already soldered onto them . If they didn't the ohm rating would be effected greatly. I'd use a bass blocker filter or a non polarized capacitor crossed over at 100hz would be 398 uf @ 4ohms.. or 199uf @ 8ohms ...I'm just saying the amp won't notice the change in ohms and the other speakers will be saved from any subsonic bass tones especially if they want to run multiple speakers per channel in a full range setup woofer /mid bass/ midrange and/or tweeter.. Also get a tweeter with an spl of 95dbs or better this way you can start off @ +3dbs or so over the mid and work your way down by adding a 2-4 ohm resistor to reduce them to 0 or -3 dbs if you need to. I know this sounds old school but it works.
