Does this amp/speaker combo work well for both sets of speakers?

[QUOTE="kanihoncho, post: 8875025, member: 691292"] Does this amp/speaker combo work well for both sets of speakers? If I buy this amp with the rear speaker specs in mind will the front speakers be underpowered? Will a 2 amp solution, one for the fronts and one for the rears be better? I'm still working on my sub solution. So if the 5-channel solution doesn't work for the front speakers should I purchase a 2 channel for the front and a 3-channel for the rear and sub, where each amp focuses on getting the most for the appropriate set of speakers?
