Thanks both of you for having this discussion. I recently added the factory rear speakers to my 220, powering them via the radio directly (the dash/door speakers powered via the amp sitting in the trunk). I had to fade a fair bit to ensure the fronts don't completely overpower the rears. Therefore, I was considering powering the rears via the amp (implying getting the 6-channel amp that you did Chris), but I won't be pursuing that option anymore.

dcompress, don't get me wrong, I definitely would add the rear speakers as there is a difference in the soundstage, but the rears certainly can use a tad more power.
