Not ideal, but mids and highs don't need much power. Set the amp crossover at about 80-100 hz, and turn the gain down to about 1/4 (yep, 1/4...almost all the way down.) Just having a real amp instead of radio power will clean them up immensely, and the crossover will clean it further. Give it a listen, and see how well they match up with the bass level. Kick the gain up a little, if necessary.

Another option would be to just amp the fronts, and leave the rears on the deck (or take them out all together). Not much to gain here.

If you still, for some reason, want to take more bass out of the back speakers, you can add a couple caps, but I don't think you'll need to.

hopefully by using logical reasoning i can determine that if 2ohms gives me 400 rms 4 ohms gives me 200 rms, maybe 6ohms gives me 100? =S that'd be fine i suppose... I'm not looking for power out of these speakers, just clarity, power is going to be out of my subwoofer, my highs already make my ears bleed enough...

and yeah i was planning on removing 'radio' power altogether, it just sounds much cleaner coming from the outputs.
and i dont know if i understood you saying take out my rear speakers? im never taking those puppies out, i love em too much


but i'm talking to someone right now, i think i might be getting a 4channel pretty soon =S. so this audiobahn may just turn out to be a replacement for my BOSS amp.. lol. I dont know yet, im going to see what happens.
