Default 2 channel amp question

I have heard that you can run 4 components off of a 2 channel amp. Does anyone know how id wire this up? If i got a 2 channel amp that can be wired to 2 ohms, how would i wire that? I know everyone is going to say just buy a 4 channel but im adding a sub/amp and i dont really want to shell out a lot for an amp. I can get a good 2 channel for cheap so thats why im doing it. thanks.

Left channel positives to all left speakers, left channel negs to all left speakers, repeat on the right side.

This wires them up in parrallel, if you have two pairs of 4 ohm components it will place a 2 ohm load on the amp. Not all amps can take this.

I'd suggest you just use the amp on your fronts and run your rears of your deck. Rear fill doesn't need full power, and you've got subs for bass. Fading is more important (imo) than power to those rear speakers.
