Default Amp speaker question

First please dont roast me I do know I am about as ignorant as it comes regarding stereo systems and second no I didnt search cause I wouldnt know where to start. Please I need your help.

I have a 4 channel amp on my 2012 street glide. A kenwood kac-m3004 mini amp and it says 2-4ohm. I want to run four 6.5" speakers. I have two 2ohm infinity speackers and im thinking of buying two more 2ohm to get max power but im not sure I can do this. Also i am unclear how to wire them. Can you help me? Thank you for your patience

Be patient, one of the Guru's will be along shortly to give you guidance you can rely on. You don't want my advice. (Other than my first sentence.)

You can run all four speakers on that amp no problem. Each speaker will be getting 75 watts per speaker. If they are the Infinity kappa 62.11i that won't be enough power to make them sound off. Now a couple questions.

1. What HU are you running?
2. Where is the other set of speakers going to go?

as Gann suggested, those speakers dont come alive til they get about 2x as much as your giving them right now
as far as sound quality, a change in head units will make a world of difference too.
what do u listen too? radio? bluetooth? usb?

The Infinity kappa 62.11 is also a 2 ohm speaker, you cannot run 4 of them wired in parallel off of that amp. You can run them wired in series.
