For better sound, use the headunit internal amp (which actually only
delivers about 22W RMS) to drive the REAR speakers, and hook up the front
preouts to 2 channels of the amp and sub preouts to the other two channels.
be sure to bridge your subs if your amp is 2 ohm stable(should say so on
the amp somewhere...). you want the soundstage in front (well, most people
do...) and giving more power to the front speakers will keep it in front.
i'm sure you've heard it before: "When was the last time you went to a
concert and stood facing away from the stage?".
i have a system already planned out for my dak when i get it.

the 6.5's are on the way, the first 175Wx2 amp will be ordered tomorrow...
good luck
