Default 6 speakers?

Hey guys, I have a 95 del sol and my new plan is to avoid big subs and just go with a nice clean, but loud speaker system. But my model del sol only has 4 speakers :/ i just put in JL audio evolution 5.25 and i like them. I will be putting those same ones in the rear when i get the xtra cash. then wat i wanna do is stick some 6x9's in the storage containers behind the seats but im not sure what would be the best way to wire em up without loosin power. I was maybe thinkin gettin a walmart 200 watt amp and hooking the rear speakers to it cuz i dont think my head unit will push enough for 6 speakers. Suggestions will be greatly appreciated. thanks

Im going to suggest you stay with round speakers if your looking for good sound.
what deck do you have?
you should look into a multi channle amp? 4 or more channles?
even if you just add 1 sub possibly an alpine 12 on like 600 watts with all your speakers youll have one hell of a system.
with not all that much weight from a sub and amp. even a 10 would sound great.

personaly i would just splice them into your other wires.
but if your going to run an amp you will have to run new speakers wires to them from the amp.
do you have seperate tweeters on the doors??

then i wouldnt splice them lol
you need to get an amp for them.
just my 2 cents but i think you should save up and get good quality stuff. its better to take longer to finish the project with name brand stuff but it will be a better system and last 10 times longer.

Thanks.
