Which speakers to amp?

My sub is a 12w6 gonna be hooked up to a kenwood kac-8152D, it doesnt have any gain settings i dont think... is that bad? another things is, i was only able to afford one amp for a set of speakers, its 2 x 50 watts rms. should i amp the front 4 inch speakers (Infinity refereces) ? or the rear 6 1/2 speakers (JVC's)? any help is awesome thanks guys justin

The Kenwood amp has a gain control, no issues. Amplify everything if you can, it'll always sound better.

My suggestion is to amp the fronts, run the rears off the deck and yes the 8152 definitely has a gain control....

Definately amp the fronts - you could even go without the rear speakers (personal preference).
