I have a pioneer head unit that has 4 times 50w on it. In the back i have 2 150w pioneer after market speakers and two stock ones in the front that i am not shore of the "w". would it be ok to wire a set of 90w speakers in parallel off the lines that go to the rear150w thanks.
 
That 4 X 50 is actually the PEAK rating. The actual power is more like 16 watts RMS X 4.

If you wire the two in parallel, the ohms will drop to 2 ohm (if they are 4 ohm) and will force the deck to push even more power. This extra power also brings more distortion with it.
 
You can wire the speakers in but putting them in will only lower the total amount of clear music able to be produced. If you want to add speakers then you need to power them first with a 4 channel amp, just replace the stock ones first in the front before adding more.
