[QUOTE="The Tall Man, post: 194428, member: 547685"] I'm a newbie, too. I had the following thoughts: - if you get the right kind of amp, you can adjust the gain so that there is more sound from either the back or front. I did this with an older Rockford Fosgate 4 channel amp (55 watts per channel)- it sounds quite good, even with the stock speakers (VERY much a matter of choice though) - I guess you could do a 6 channel amp (e.g. A/D/S and others make them and they are supposed to be good, but a bit expensive) and bridge two channels for the two back speakers and send the other two channels to the front. - 4 ohms or not depends on the ratings of your amp; at least in the limited research I did, most decent ones are pretty stable at 2 ohms. I suppose you'd get more power, but it also means your amp works harder. Probably heats up more (important with summer coming!). I've always run my stuff at 4 ohms and have never had trouble with e.g. Kenwood/Rockford Fosgate amps running hot. Most amps seem to be very happy with 4, 2 is on edge of stability for some. Depends a lot on location, too. Just my 0.02. [/QUOTE]
