please help - need assistance

Hi,

I have 4 speakers in my truck. front & rear. All 4 ohms. If I take the front left and back left speaker wires and attached the positives together and the negatives together (and do the same with the right side speakers) and hook them up to my amp (which is 2 ohm stable) will this give me the power that I am looking for? In effect, only use 2 of the 4 channels available to run all 4 speakers and hook the speakers in Parallel

This is my delima. My amp is a 4 channel MTX404. I currently have it wired with all 4 channels. This gives me 35 watts per channel at 4 ohms. IT can give me 70 watts per channel at 2 ohms. This is what I want (more power) but I am unsure on how to wire it correctly.

Hopefully I explained this correctly.

Can anyone help? Do you see any problems occuring?
Thanks

if you hook them up like that then they will be serial. which would be 8 ohm reststance. you would have to hook them in parallel, which would take it down to 2 ohm
