Can I do this?

Since my headunit puts out 22rms each channel, can i wire two channels to 1 speaker? Would I get 44rms by doing this?

Basically I'm thinking of running the 6x9s off the HU
And components up front off an amp(so that i dont have to spend as much).

Instead of putting only 22rms each 6x9, can i put out 44rms each if i linked it? or does it not work this way?

youll fry the internal headunit amp.
it owuld only work if you had 8 ohm 6x9's or dual voice coil 6x9's, both of which are not commonly found things

what kind of deck do you have that's putting out 22 RMS per CHANNEL?

most decks I've seen don't put out much more than 28 RMS MAXIMUM and then you're dividing that by four - giving you roughly 7 watts per channel (assuming a 4 speaker setup).
