Most I say most, but not all speakers can differentiate between ohms. You might try wiring in at 4ohm and see if that makes a difference, but I don't think it will. Really the only time you run into a resistance issue is when you try to wire up 4 ohm speakers to a 2 ohm per channel H/U.
As far as amps go, I'm fond of Alpine, Eclipse, Poweracoustik, and Kenwood. (I know that's a shocker on the last one, but once I tried mine, I actually like them)
It's true, you aren't going to hear that much from the rear speakers just for the fact that they are on the smaller side and that they are behind you. Don't forget that you have fairly good sized speakers close to you that do a pretty good job of drowning out the rears.
If you want an example for an amp, look in Max's thread where I posted an amp option for him. IIRC, it was a 150 Watt Alpine 4 channel. Pretty decent amp.
