That isn't good b/c ur liable to blow the speakers (your more likley to blow a speaker by under-driving it then over-driving it), also, you're over driving the H/U which will make it run hot and possibly fail.
The right way to do it is hookup a 4-channel amp to your H/U and run you 4 rear speakers off the 2 rear channels of your amp. Amp's are designed to run at 2ohms so you won't have any issues (just make sure the amp you get has an internal cooling fan...trust me).
