In line rear speakers wiring? Possible?

If your head unit does not have separate outputs for the rear speakers, you would need to replace it or add an amplifier to drive the rear speakers.

The power rating on the speakers is not what they require, but the maximum they are rated to handle. you don't 'need' that much power. try them "as is", and you can add an amplifier or change head units if you feel they aren't loud enough.

Actually, the fujitsuten head unit is 2ohm stable. It was designed to drive tweeters in parallel with the full range door speakers. Not necessarily on the yaris, but also on other models. The Pioneer is probably 2ohm capable too, but I'm not sure about this.

Either way, the rear speakers should split from either side of the front kick panel. I forgot which side, so all you have to do is tap there and run the wires to the back and you get rear speakers working.
