Ok been a while since I messed with car audio but I need some music in my GTO convertible. I never used any amps back in the day just front and rear channels. I have a speaker in my front dash retro sound R410n dual voice coil that has a left and right channel and in my kick panels some cheap kenwoods that came with the kick panel will probably upgrade later on KFC1665s In the rear I made a box to sit on the hump (remember its a convertible) with JL c2-570x In the convertible top well 2 subs CL-69sub all running to amp Soundstream Picasso Nano PN5.640D here is my question should I run my dash speaker in series or parallel and same with the subs or could some just draw me a diagram of the best way to wire the system Thanks

Never parallel unlike speakers. A speaker has an impedance curve, not just dc resistance. Whatever voicecoil with the least resistance at a given frequency is where the power will go. It won't nessesarly be the same throughout the entire audio spectrum.
It's kinda like taking an eq and moving the sliders all over the place to make a cool design, instead of good sound.

OK Thanks for response capea4. So like I said really don't understand a lot of this stuff and I been researching it on the internet. Even though the dash and kick panel speakers have a 4 ohms impedance the sensitivity and frequency response difference make the impedance curve different, correct. So wiring them in series I read will low the acoustical value and power output is this a good thing or a bad thing. Also how about the(2) CDT CL-SUB69 I am using for subwoofers for the 5 channel should I wire them parallel.
