First time I heard of this...
Recommended specs are offered by every manufacturer for their aftermarket head units.
I bet all of them say they are only 4-ohm load rated.
If you're talking about multi speaker set-up's up front through a passive crossover, then we're talking about a different beast altogether.
I still stand by my statement: if it's not recommended by the manufacturer, I do not recommend splicing a parallel load for a channel on the head unit.
If you're getting away with it then fine, that's your car.
I would never do it with any of my cars.

Also, I said I have a sub, I never said it was in the car. In fact I stated that I do NOT want to put it in my FC. So in that case, the rear speakers ARE important.

Nothing is going to reproduce low frequencies like a large diameter speaker / subwoofer / driver.
For me, 6.5" dedicated midwoofers cannot reproduce bass below about 200Hz without authority when compared to a dedicated subwoofer.
My "ideal" system requires tweeters, a 4" midrange, a 6.5" midbass, and some kinda subwoofer set-up.
This is what I require to minimally reproduce the full spectrum of sound.
Anything less is a compromise.
Sure, you can get away with using a 6.5" driver to reproduce low frequencies, but it's going to be a compromise.
It's your car.

I had a system in my old 91 that sounded excellent, of course that was with 1996 car audio technology.

Sound quality for people is usually subjective.
You don't know what is "excellent" until you've been exposed to it.
Most people don't know what "excellent" is.
