You cant argue with quality, having the rear subs hooked to the rear output of the deck and the front to the front, you then get adjustability which you dont have right now.. Also, if the output is less then why did I get more bass out of the subs and overall better quality?????????????? hmmmm....... (Im still almost positive my manual says 50W RMS, but Ill get back to you on that)....
