He's running a 4ch amp Joe. No issues running those speakers on that amp. Other than being under powered.

I will try using the kenwood amp for rest of this season and then go with a better one next year. Could you explain how to wire the 4 speakers in series please? Thank you

As SB is saying, your running a 4 channel amp, you don't have to worry about wiring in Parallel or Series.

Thank you very much to everyone that has helped me! What would be the recommendations for a replacement amplifier that I could start looking for an install over the winter? Thank you again :-)

To completely dumb this down, your 4 channel amp has 4 outputs, both with a + and - or positive (+) and negative (-). Your speakers also have the same set up. Simply run speaker wire to each speaker and be sure to keep polarity (+or-) correct. Hope this helps and we all started in your shoes. Please report back with anything that you might find helpful to others.
