I'm no expert but I'd try several combinations and see what sounds best to you. Switching the speaker wires around to different combinations should be fast. The amp may put out slightly more distortion and run hotter at 2ohm than 4ohm. With four 6x9's at 4ohm and two 6.5's off HU, only the 6x9's will be x'd-over, but the 6.5's won't be receiving much power and may not distort, and the amp will run cooler. With the 6x9's in parallel on the rear channels and the 6.5's on the front channels, all 6 spks are getting 50Wrms instead of just 4 spks, and you can crossover the 6x9's slightly lower than the 6.5's so they put out more mids. You might get more SPL out of this configuration. But you might notice more distortion and your amp may run hot if driven hard. I would also try mixing one 6x9 with one 6.5 on the rear channels and running the other two 6x9's on the front channels and play with the crossovers. You never know till you try. Also try just running 4 speakers instead of 6. Try just four 6x9's, and then try running two 6x9's on the rear channels and two 6.5's on the front channels with the right crossover settings. That may produce the least distortion of all configurations and sound better in the end. But like Chris said, definitely set the crossovers for all amp channels appropriately so the speakers don't distort from too much bass/midbass. Come back and tell us what configuration you finally decide on. I'd like to know what ends up working best for you.
