simply put, hook em up. if they sound funny its prolly bc you got the pos and neg backwards on one or both of them. the bass should get louder the more speakers are hooked up, not softer, if it gets softer then you got the wires backward.

The only way to put a full range speaker in the sail panel and get full range sound without resorting to aftermarket amps or HU is to wire them off the rear hatch speakers wiring. The sails on the Monsoon are bass only so just hooking them up will not work for full range sound. You have to have a full range signal to get full range sound.
Your only other options are to buy an aftermarket HU and use it to power your speakers without using the Monsoon or use an aftermarket amp to run to your speakers.
If you just hook a set of coaxials to that area it will sound funny because you won't get anything but bass from that location.
For the record a 4-way coaxials is a complete waste of time. A quality 2-way coaxial will be more than sufficient for that application. You won't see more than one tweeter on a good pair of coaxials. Hope this helps!
