The speaker pairs total watts RMS (for each channel) must match or be higher than the watts RMS of each channel @ 2ohms if you wire the speakers in parallel http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/PARALLEL.jpg to each channel. This is because the speaker pairs together will be 2 ohms and will require to be al least half the power for each speaker of each channel on the amp at 2 ohms. So if the amp is 200 watts RMS @ 2 ohms per channel, then each speaker must be 100 watts RMS @ 4 ohms.
If you go series http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/SERIES.jpg of the speaker pairs on each channel, each speaker can be 1/4 or higher than the watts RMS of each channel on the amp @ 4 ohms. This is because the speaker pairs together will be 8 ohms and will require to be at least 1/4 the power for each speaker of each channel on the amp. So if the amp is 100 watts RMS @ 4 ohms per channel, then each speaker must be at least 25 watts RMS @ 4 ohms since the amp will push 50 watts RMS @ 8 ohms.
For more power (200 watts RMS per channel), the first option is better but may cause the amp to run hot. Option two is less power (50 watts RMS per channel) but the amp runs cooler.
You might be better off to get two 4-channel amps.

Exactly how you do it would depend on the exact configuration of your head unit and your amps. You probably want to run two audio cables from the head unit to your 4 channel amp for the main speakers. It's not necessary, as you can split the signal and use 2 channels of input on the 4 channel amp, but doing so will disable your ability to adjust fade/balance. These two audio cables should probably carry the full range, or be run through a high-pass filter (either in the head unit, in-line, or in the amp itself).

yes u can just check the ohms on the speakers and make sure ur amp is compatiable for an example if you have 4 speakers they are 4 ohm each (most interior speakers are) than wire them amp so u get an 4 ohm load in the end connect two 4ohm speakers in to one and get a 8ohm load and do the same wit the other two now u have 2 pairs wired both at a 8ohm now wire them togather and get a 4 ohm load

It sounds like you want to run two pairs of component speakers. I have 2 pairs of phoenix gold component speakers (four 6.5 midbass, & four 1.5 tweeters) in my mustang. You connect each of the four amplifier channel outputs to each seperate passive crossovers. I use A.D.S.crossover, got them off ebay for $10.00 a piece new. Then you wire your midbass and tweeter seperate. Connect the tweeter & midbass wires into the crossover outputs. If this what your trying to achieve, 800 watts is way to much for any four speakers, unless they are subwoofers. I would say no more than a 400 watt amp.

No car needs 8 speakers running highs...just spend the money on a good set of fronts like Focal or MB then some back fill and your sub.

you would need crossovers to create 4 pairs of speakers, and plug each pair into the amp.
