[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 2202850, member: 555320"] Yup. I don't even have rear speakers. But if I did, that would be how I ran it. Well, primarily because you want the rears to be very attenuated. They should only be audible to the rear seat passengers, and just enough to "fill" in the high/mid frequency sounds for them. Secondary reason would be that if you left them "evenly" set, since the rears are powered off the headunit they would likely start to distort at a fairly low volume level (relative to the front speakers powered from an external amplifier)....with them attenuated (like the should be, to limit their output), the point at which they distort will be raised to allow you to use more of your headunit's volume range. You'll be fine. As always, set your gains correctly (conservatively if necessary), don't use excessive boosting on an equalizer (if you have one), properly set the xover point, etc. You could definitely do that. Though sometimes going to route of a 4-channel amplifier, and bridging the amplifier, can be a cheaper route than going with a single higher powered 2-channel amplifier. [/QUOTE]
