Multi-speaker hook up question

I have a Pioneer CDplayer(DEH-P20) and it has hook ups for only 4 speakers. Is it possible to wire it so I can dook up 6 speakers? I've got two in the dash, then I want to put a pair in the kick panels, and then a pair in the door panels. Is this gonna be possible?

if you're talking about 6 full range speakers powered from a 4 speaker deck, it's doable but you won't like the results... you could wire an extra pair of speakers in parallel with one of the other pair, but the power will be divided between both pairs, so you end up with 4 low powered speakers instead of 2 adequately powered speakers.

Best bet is to run one pair of speaker outputs into a 4 channel amp to run 4 speakers (2 in, 4 out), then you can run an additional pair off the deck's remaining 2 speaker outputs.

Hope that made sense...

FWIW, bigvinnie's suggestion is how I had mine and it worked great.
