Agree, except it sounds like OP is talking small rear speakers, which are not going to be hard to drive, regardless of how they're wired.

I just did this...replaced the 4 rear speakers that had rotted with new aftermarket. Nothing fancy and I wired them like the factory. I'd have to look to see what impedance speakers I bought. 3" speakers are not going to be loud either way!
