Please help with door speaker wiring

ok here's the deal. I have an amp that is 300 watts rms. 150 watts rms to each channel. Amp is 2 ohm stable stereo. I would like to wire the amp to my door speakers and tweeters. Tweeters and door speakers are 4 ohms. There will be 2 tweeters and 2 speakers on each channel. How could I "get her done" so my amp will not protect. Another quick question... how would I wire the speakers to the amp? Would I just run wires from the harness adapter to the amp? If I have to wire in series or parallel could I do that from the harness adapter?

if the amp is 2 ohm stable, and i assume you have components with crossovers, you should wire the speakers in parallel. that'll give you a 2 ohm load on each channel. depending on how the speakers/tweeters are hooked up, it might screw up your imaging. what is this harness adapter you have??

you know the adapter that you hook to your factory wiring harness to install an aftermarket stereo.

yeah that harness. Can I hook a wire to the harness to the amp to amplify my door speakers. In parallel??? 4 4ohm devices wired in parallel will make a 2 ohm load? Oh yeah by the way no I don't have a crossover. I have dome tweeters and they have a built in crossover.
