If i had my choice, i'd use the 4 channel amp for front only, get another amp or use deck power for the rear.
JMO, good luck.

P.S. You could try it both ways, test it, let us all know how it works out.

I guess that would be the differece

The crossover doesn't divide the power.

So each speaker gets 100 watts then? It doesn't have anything to do with the crossover. It has to do with the fact that you're powering 2 speakers.

I'm not going to argue with you. You oboviously don't get it.
