I bought this amp to power my 4 speakers and apon closer inspection I notice that the front and back have seperate crossovers, except the front is only high pass or nothing, and the back is low pass or nothing.

Now this sucks because I don't want to run any bass to any of my 4 coaxials, but it seems I don't have a choice on the rear channels. I REALLY don't want to blow my 6x8's in the back, but I seem to think that a full range sound signal could do that.

Whats the Deally-yo? Are the real channels designed for subwoofers or bass-capable speakers? I looked over the amp when I bought it and somehow overlooked that small detail.

Maybe I'll return it? Hmmm.... thanks~

Generally (from what i've seen) rear speakers are used for bass, in alot of setups i've heard of, people put components up front, nothing in the rear, and then have subs.. generally because you want most of your sound comming from up front, since thats primarily what you hear.
