Is it safe..

I have a 4channel Jensen Amp it is 400watts, right now I have two subs and 4 speakers hooked into it. But the problem is, the front door speakers their 140 watts max 4-ways and hit really hard when its up on like 10? lol, the way I have my amp now is the one rear and one front is in the same channel then another rear and front in the same channel. The subs are hooked up by themselves and one channel is left. But when the front speakers are hooked up by their self they don't hit so hard, is it safe to hook the rear speakers up with the subs and fronts by themselves?

I wouldent. You could possibly drop the imedance too low and how are you going to set the LPF and stuff with the rears on the same channel?

get 2 amps. Will make things a lot easier. I'm sure you're working the shit out of that 4 channel amp. But if you must use just that one amp, Put all of the fronts on the 1 & 2 channels and the rears on the back 2 channels.

So I guess getting two amps is my only option, alright thanks guys. Never thought about the LPF stuff, wasn't thinking. I need to get a bigger amp for my subs anyways, their only getting 100watts and their rated at 300. Alright, thanks again.
