    amping front speakers

    I have a 4 channel amp - 2 channels bridged for the sub and i have 2 left over which i was gonna use to amp the front speakers, but i but i cant amp the rear speakers.

    Probably/Maybe. It depends on your use and your speakers. What car are we talking about anyway?

    If you get distorition at higher volumes it will be due to the little amp in the head unit not keeping up or due to crappy speakers. Chances are the former so yes an amp will imrpove things, besides all that, it can't hurt (unless you overpower the speakers and blow them up) and it gives you a project

    If your keen though I would be looking forward to a good set of front splits to amp up

    If they are stock speakers and you have like 100wrms per channel you can amp all 4 speakers off the two channels. Stock speakers are like 25wrms? and hooking all for up will mean each channel will run at 8ohm so if its 100wrms per channel @4ohm youll be getting like 40-50wrms @ 8ohm.
