[QUOTE="MrWizzard, post: 1036545, member: 555489"] If you want to fade between the front and back speakers, you'll have to get a 4 channel amp, maybe 50x4 will be good even, since 50x4 on an external amp VS the 50x4 (peak) on the HU (wich is more like 18watts x4) will be a big diff.... it would be within rating of you're speakers too... or... you could get a 2 channel and hook the speakers in paralell and run it at 2ohms, wich will save the need for the other two channels, but no fading control, hehe. so if you got a 2 channel amp rated at 50 watts each channel into 4ohms but ran 100 watts at 2ohms, then hooking two speakers per channel (front+back) will still give it 50 watts each, so all 4 speakers will still get the 50 watts.... i guess 2 channel would be cheaper too, at the expense of being able to fade or adjust the volume of the front & back seperate...
