Which would it be best to amp, front Coaxials or rear 6x9's?

I can only amp one pair due to the channels

thanks for the advice

see what you mean Wrighty, but then again you can effectively have a louder system as you could turn it up further if its not as loud in the front

plus speakers are nearly 3 times as powerful in the rear

yeah true cheers for the advice

just out of curiosity...what would happen if I was to put 4 speakers onto a 2 channel amp

would the current get distributed evenly or would it blow up eventually?

dunno about needing to bodge it, surely its just a matter of two wires into each terminal?

dont suppose it could damage the headunit or the speakers, just the amp

you hardly ever hear of amps going wrong though, at least i haven't

It would half the ohms on the load which can cause problems depending on what ohms your speakers and amps are.
