Ok, im going to explain this to where it isnt too confusing so bare with me. I want to wire 3 speakers on each door, my left and my right front doors. I have 3 6.5 components on my left, and 3 6.5 components on my right. How do I go about wiring that? Also what kind of amp do I need a 1 channel or 2 channel?

One, (Assuming they are SVC 4 ohm drivers) You can wire one or two of the three out of phase in series to keep the impedence up, on a single circuit. They are only door speakers, I don't think the sound cancellation would be much of an issue.
Two, (Again, assuming three SVC 4 ohm drivers) - Wire all three in series to give you a 12 ohm load. You would need a powerful amp to drive a 12 ohm load to high volume, but damping factor would be great.
Three - Use 3 8 ohm speakers wired in parallel for a 2.66 ohm load.
Four - Wire the three 4 ohm drivers in parallel and use a high current amp capable of withstanding low impedance load. SQ wouldn't be the best, and in my opinion, this is a rather pointless way to go, but its listed since it technically is an option.

alright so i've come to the conclusion that 3 amps is the way to go. Now my question is since im getting 3 2-channel amps, how would i wire the 3 amps plus my sub amp? do I need lets say 3 separate power wires? thanks for the info guys!

you just need a distribution block in the back.
definitely 3 amps would be a great option. The other option would be to buy a single 2ch amp that is 1ohm-stereo stable. Boston Acoustic and RF Power series amps will do that.

what about a 4 ch amp, 1 comp set on ch 1-2, and 2 comp sets on ch 3-4,

So I can get 1 2 channel amp that can stay at a 1ohm stable? The component set I have is 3 pairs of Hifonics 6.5 that are rated at 100 RMS.
