How to use a 4-channel for 2 speakers in stereo?

^ If you have taken a lot of time and care in speaker placement then you can get away without T/A. If you want your car to image well and you have NOT taken the extra time in speaker placement, then T/A is more important
Do you have a sub amp? Is it mono or bridged? Do you have a stereo RCA going into it (both left and right)? If so and you play with the balance you may wind up with less bass output than expected.
With car audio is is important to start at the end of the line and work forward when it comes to design, installation, and tuning. Speaker installation makes a HUGE impact in the way they sound, then careful gain balancing, then processing, then minor touches at the head unit for song-to-song variances.

I had: Clarion 4-chan amp to power rear speakers and front components in non-deadened doors with mono amp for my subwoower.
Now I have:same clarion amp but bridged to give around 150watts to each component in the front in sealed and deadened doors. still the same mono amp and sub.
And this is a HUGE improvement. I get a lot more power since the channels are seeing 2 ohms each. Rear speakers are useless now

So take them out already.....
You lose nothing and you gain bass in the cabin without doing anything else.....

The idea behind setting up volume/balance on the amp is once it is set, you cant fiddle with it up front and get it out of wack. But your choice. same with Sub/mid crossover Once it is set on amp (instead of HU) you are done. No more fiddling.
