Can 1 4-chanel amp run all 8 speakers?

Hey guys,
If I install a 4 channel amp to the harness behind the stock deck will it be able to drive all 8 speakers? From what I've seen in the wiring diagrams it looks like the 4 fronts are tied together and run off the same channel and the roof and rear pillars tie into the two rear channels.

I'll be running a small kicker amp 35 watts per channel and I've replaced all speakers with JBLs, (except for the roof speakers).

Will this work or do I have to run all new wires from the new amp? I did a search but couldn't find anything specific.

Thanks in advance,
~C

if the amp is stable at 2 ohms you will have no problem. You should be fine running all 8 speakers.

Ya, why not? Most car stereo amps can drive a 2 ohm load.
