What amp are you wanting to use? I looked those speakers up and if the site I looked at is correct, those speakers are 80 watts RMS per pair. 40 watts per speaker. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_94582_JVC-CS-HX6949.html

If you run a 640 watt amp to those 6x9's they wont last a day or a the first good bass song and good bye. I know they say there rated for 80 each but from experience I can tell you they wont last under that kind of load. I havent done a system in a long time, But my first 78 malibu had 4 12's 2 behind the seat and 2 on top. 2 tweeters and you can hear that car coming a 1/2mile with only a 2 sherwood 240's. Now if you have the 8 6x9's and you want to use them ok i guess but if you going to buy them I tell you what. In my Accord I had 2 eclipse 6x9's and a 200 watt amp, a clarion head unit. Guys swore on there lives there were at least 2 tens if not more. If you didnt buy anything come up with a budget and do your home work, unless your talking an expensive speaker like eclipse or maybe pioneer I wouldnt be so quick to believe they can handle what they say.
It'll be plenty loud. A lot of cars only have 4 speakers, you'll have 8. It'll make a pretty big difference.
I'm Not saying it won't be loud, I'm just saying if you load those speakers with there max advertised load they won't last very long. I don't know what kind of sound your looking for, just do your homework. It's not as simple as doing some math and ending up with a nice music system.
You're going to create cancellation, especially with speakers in the center console. There will be no real imaging. You'd be so much better with a good component set up front, and a pair of 6x9's in the back deck on a single 4 channel. Less wiring, less drivers to fail, etc. Etc.
I've got 400 watts going to a pair of tweeters, and a pair of 6.5 "component coaxials in custom made kickpanels, and it can keep up with the 2400 watts rms on the subs.
