Spliting rear speaker cable

[Jakey]

Basically im wondering if I can split my rear speaker wire so I can run the rear door speakers and a set of 6x9's in my car? Reason for this is that i dont want to run and amp!

Wouldn't advise it mate, connecting a second set of speakers in 'parallel' will lower the impedance seen by the head units internal amp & could promote excessive power demands & associated thermal issues....

Or in laymans terms;

No, you would be overloading the head unit....

Don't bother with 6x9's just get some uprated ones to fit in place of the originals if you are that much of a skint flint.
