Installing amp to my rear speakers - 5/6/2008 11:51:41 AM

I went to a garage sale and got a 2 channel amp this guy had in his jeep for 2 bucks. im only going to power my rear speakers with it.

so if i only power my rear speakers, i only hook them up to my amp, and leave my front speakers hooked up to the headunit right? i think im going to mount it in the front under the dash on the floor between the seats. and build a box over it and make cup holders on it since i take coffee with me every morning.

and one more thing... if i use this amp on my speakers, can i hook up both my front AND rear speakers to it at once? sorta like a custom bridge? or would i risk damaging the front since they are smaller? i just need the mid bass to be louder and the non sub sound to be louder so its not overpowered by the subs.

thanks!!!!

by the way...
Blazers pwn!!!! Blaze it up!!!

Big mistake to amp rear speakers only..... If anything you should amp the fronta and run the rear off the HU

id say do your research before hooking anything up. There is plenty of information on the net already about the basics for hooking up an amp. You are asking a lot of questions the indicate to me that you are brand new to the audio world. There is a lot more involved than you think.

youd be suprised what people are willing to sell if they dont know what they have. A buddy of mine stumbled across some old school zapco amps for dirt cheap at a garage sale.
