Component speakers

Anyone know how to or know if there is a way to hook up an extra set of speakers? I bought a set of component speakers that match my subs and want to install them in my trunk. Would I just tap off of the stock speakers?

TIA

If you just hook'em up in parallel you'll be creating an impedance mismatch. But you can still hook'em up that way if you include a passive highpass x-over. Since you have subs I would say make it 120 Hz or so.

I bought a second amp, mainly for looks but can I use that to power the speakers?
