The 2 sets of terminals are internally bridged, it is a mono, there are 2 sets for ease of wiring subs to it.

This. It's a single channel amp.

I wouldn't, get a 4 channel. 4x75W should be pretty cheap.

what do you suggest

OP, I've got a PG Octane-R 5.0:4 and a Rockford P8004, both of which I'm willing to sell at 125 shipped each. Would be perfect for you rather than trying to find a 2-channel that will work. PM me if you're interested in one of them.

Budget?

Budget, at 125 Neo's Rockford amp would be a good choice, and match your speakers if you're into that kind of stuff.

OP, I'm going to bed for now, but if you leave me a PM, I'll get back to you in the AM. Remember, I'm West Coast time.

You Can run 2 sets of speakers that you have mentioned (4ohms ea)two sets of speakers to either ch,to drop it to a 2ohm stereo load,..So, yes you can..Question would be,are you wanting to run front left and right, and rear left and right?With a 4 channel amp you can do this(4ohms each speaker,and ohm load on the amp/stereo)But If you choose to use a 2 channel amp to run one set of front, and one set of rear speakers,you will be in a 2ohm stereo load, and you would only be able to run either Rear, or Front rca/ 2channels,only,non Balanced, in which the rear 6x9 will over power/be louder than your front stage/speakers.Exactly what are you trying to accomplish, and what kind of vehicle ?What Head unit do you have?Model #,

You can use the 2 ch.amp...but you won't have any fading capabilities. ..meaning if the rears are louder than the fronts..that's the way it is.a 4 ch.might be a better bet.
