[QUOTE="Blackout67, post: 8894049, member: 683415"] I Would take the rear speakers off the amp and run them off factory power (don't even really need them, I'd just unplug them and keep them for another project or sell em) and then run your tweets on one set of channels and your mids on other two channels. This would be the least complicated way Reason for this is because rear speakers are more for fill if you have rear passengers (depending on the car, if you have rear deck speakers you'll hear them a lot better but can potentially mess with your sound stage if not set up right) so you in the drivers seat aren't getting a hole lot from them besides a small amount of mid bass maybe. The other reason being you can dial in the power on the tweeters and mid separately. The way you have them wired in parallel now, the power will be split between the tweeter and mid. Since tweeters are much more efficient, and especially those pro audio ones scream on the tiniest amount of power, they will overpower the mids and likely cause listening fatigue and you'll have no way to lower their volume without also lowering the volume on the mids. If you are set on keeping the rear speakers on the amp, just run them on the rear channels and your front speakers in the front channels. Shouldnt really affect anything other than a little extra heat from the front channels running at 2 ohms [/QUOTE]
