Adding speakers to a stereo system, need advice please!

I have 2 extra speakers (Acoustic Profiles psl-0.5) I could hook up to this system... will I have any problems if end up having 4 speakers on this 2 speaker system, pretty much having two wires leading out of each spring terminal at the back of the stereo? How should I wire them? Or is it okay for me to just replace the stock speakers with new ones?
The 2 extra speakers' impedance is 8 Ohms.

I barely have any experience with this, so sorry if this ends up pretty obvious. :P

Sorry, late reply, i'm a bit busy :\

"Nominal impedance: 6 Ohms"
"Output impedance: 8 Ohms"

okay as long as the new speakers are in parallel it should still be fine...
you may notice a slight volume drop though...

Yeah, I'm pretty much re-working the whole room stuff is gonna be in, a sort of semi-studio, so sorry again...
Just volume drop? Would it be a bit fuzzy too, like general lower quality? The room its in is pretty small, like 3 meters by 2 meters, so if its just volume, I shouldn't be that worried.

The quality won't differ as we're talking analog speaker connections
