please help!!!! Trying to hook interior speakers up to a 2 channel amp need help

[swady]

The first thing that i need to know is if i hook the rcas up to the
back of the amp for the interior spears or the high input wire harness
to the back of the amp, and what wires do i hook those to in the back
of the headunit?

I am going to hook my 4" audiobahn speakers 90 rms(fronts)4 ohm, and my
6x9 audiobahn speakers 200 rms(rears) 4 ohm. My amp is a two channel
audiobahn amp with 800 rms 2 ohm 400 rms 4 ohm. The only way i can find
to hook this up is with a parallel connection to bring it down to 8
ohms each channel, or 4 ohm total load. I wanted to know if there is
any better way to do this or not.

I also have another 800 watt mono amplifier driving my audiobahn 12"
eternal.

I am no audio expert as you can see, but i just rebuilt my 1979 camaro
and wanted to have a nice sound system in it. I deeply appreciate any
help you guys are willing to offer me.

You are not going to have two different output with one amp. You need
another amp.
One amp for front speakers and other for rears speaker. Without buying
another amp,
you just have to connect ub parallel: front-left+rear-left and
rear-left+rear-right.
That's only option you get. You can't parallel two front speaker into
one channel.
That's going to be awful sound.

I think you meant front-right + rear-right.

Thats helpful, but im still a little lost on this, are you saying no
matter what way i conncect it it is going to sound bad unless i buy
another amplifier?

Also I was going to hook up the lefts together and the rights together
but do i put both the front and rear left signal wires from the
headunit to the left hi-output in the wire harness to the amplifier and
the right signal wires to the right hi-output in the wire harness to
the amplifier?

First of all, you ideally want to run line-level RCA cables from the
deck to the amp inputs, rather than running the deck's speaker wires
into the high-level inputs. Any deck of any kind of quality should have
line-level outputsEither way, you only run one pair to each input -
front OR rear, but not both.

Second, you shouldn't have any loss of quality hooking up the speakers
in parallel, as long as you keep the left and right on separate
channels. It WILL reduce the load on the amp to 2 ohms per channel, but
unless you have a really cheap-crap amp, it shouldn't have a problem
with this. The only drawback is that you won't have separate control
over the level of the front and rear speakers.
