Front's or rears?

[pensacol 10+ year member]

I adding an amp for my mids and highs, but all I have is a 2 channel, so I'm trying to figure out if I should hook it up to the 2 rears or the 2 fronts. It's a 93 dakota, and the box is in the back seat between the 2 rears. It will also run a pair of tweeters on the pillars. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm not looking for excellence, just a little extra oomph on the mids and high.

front is what 99.9% will say

I say buy a 4 channel amp, but I like rear fill.

My headunit's only got subwoofer outs, and 1 set of RCA's. So I could only use a 2 channel right? I'm already using the sub outs. If I used a splitter, and split the 2 into a 4 channel amp it would sound right. Is that the way it works?

just go with front speakers. get a nice set of components and forget the rears. you definitely don't need rear speakers in a truck

You would get all 4 speakers going, but I believe it won't fade or something like that. Like on my amp I can fade to each speaker because I have 2 preouts plus a sub out. I think you lose that using splitters.

Wat kind of amp?

You can split but it won't fade. You can always run the rear speakers of the decks regular outputs.

It's just a little crunch 125 rms per channel. Nothing fancy, I've got the nice MB Quartz running my subs, just needed something to boost everything else. I've got Kenwoods in the rear, and pioneer's in the front. I think I'll just go with the fronts.
