Is it possible to run both front and back door speakers off a 2 channel amp? I'm thinking it is, just want to make sure. I have 2 Kicker 250.2 amps, rated at 317 RMS each, and would like to just use one of them and maybe sell the other, since one amp per set of door speakers seems a bit overkill IMO.

Depends on the ohm rating of the speakers and also whether or not the amp will be stable at that load... do you have this information by chance?

Speakers: http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/6670241/vpcsid/0/SFV/30046

Amp: http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/.../0/SFV/30046?gclid=CPiut9CIlZ8CFQ975Qod3i4FTA

This is what it says about the amp: The Kicker ZX250.2 is just the amplifier for the job to run a single subwoofer or if you prefer it can be setup to run a set of full range speakers.

So im hoping I can do this.

It appears that the amp is stable at a 2 ohm load per channel, and the speakers manual at: http://www.kicker.com/sites/default/files/2008%20KS%20Coax%204in1%20a01.pdf states that each speaker is rated at 4 ohms... so running two speakers on each channel (in parallel) would yield a 2 ohm load. I've done this before and the drawback was no front/rear fade.... but it didn't bother me because I didn't really have another option at the time.

I see, well maybe I better just use both amps.
