Ho to wire this setup?

[Youhearthat? 10+ year member]

Ok I have this:

Boston Pro 60 Speakers for the front.

Focal Mids for the rear.

JL E6450 Six Channel Amp

So how do I wire them? The are 4 separate crossovers for the Boston Pros, so I could just use 1 crossover and speaker per channel making that a total of 4 channels used and use the 5 and 6 channels for the rear...

OR

I could bridge the Boston's on channels 1 trough 4 (tweeter and woofer) and use channels 5 and 6 for rear fill.... I am not looking for a loud system only sq is in hand here. If bridging will increase distortion the forget it.

Opinions?

I would try it using one channel per speaker first. That will give you more flexibility in tuning and setting levels to get everything to blend the way you want it. If you don't like it you can always try it the other way.

Problem is I cant mess with my gains they are already at the lowest because of my 8v preout my HU is putting... but will putting each speaker in separate channels yield better sq? why?

Right now Tweeter and woofer are running in the same channel... and my bostons have separate crossvers for tweeter and woofer so thats and advantage.

it will allow each driver to be run independently from one another for better staging capability and matching volumes between drivers.

and from where exactly will I be matching the volume?

depending on tweeter location in relation to the mids placement, as well as the rear speakers in relation to the front stage. if your mid is low in the door in the front and the tweeter is way high on the windshield pillar, they might be too loud in comparison to the mid. the adjustability is nice to have.
