I know this has probably been covered but I did a search and didn't turn up any pertinent results. Anyway, I'm using a dpdt switch to select between 2 sets of speakers and was wondering how to do that.
Assuming the below diagram is the pins for the switch would I connect the audio input to 2 and 5, one set of speakers to 1 & 4 and the other set to 3& 6 or is there some other way to wire up one of these switches?

If I'm following your diagram correctly (it's rotated 90 degrees from the way I think), then your suggested connections are correct. of course, that would be for just a mono channel driving a choice of mono speakers.....UNLESS the power amp has a common ground terminal for both output channels.
