I have some cheap pioneer 6x9 speakers in the back, which I just hooked up to my cd player to run them as rear fill. The thing is the speakers are too freaking loud. I'm running my front components with a 4 channel and they are bi-amped but those damn rears are louder, and they are only running from the head unit. Is there any way I can tone them down a bit?? Btw, 4 channel is a infinity 111x4 rms, head unit is alpine 9833 26x4 rms... It just doesn's seem right...LOL. Any suggestions are appreciated.
that's not gonna work man, I tried it. If I turn the fader towards the front I can only hear my front tweeters, if I turn the fader towards the rear, I can hear my front mids, and rear speakers...Weird..LOL
Ok, here's how I have my shit wired. My two preamps from the head unit go to my 4 channel amp, and from the amp to the crossovers, and my rear speakers are hooked up the regular way, directly to the wire harness from the head unit.
HU's that only have 2 pairs of preouts are usually rear and sub.....so if the fronts are amped, then I'd say you probably have the front midranges hooked up to the rear channel from the HU. Check into it.

mine has 3 sets of preamps
front, rear and sub. forgot to add sub in diagram
since your bi-amping your fronts, your using the front and rear inputs to feed your amp. You need to buy one femail to two male rca splitters from here so the amp will only see a signal from the front rca's. Once those are installed, you'll be able to fade the rears out while still sending the full range of sound to your front components

Head units that have 2 sets are usually front and rear.
You should fade everything to the right front, check it. Then left front, check it, then rear left, rear right and check it that way.
Run a single set of RCA's off the HU off the pre-outs labeled Front (if there's 3 or more sets, you'll have 2 that are fading which are front and rear, and one that's non-fading or sub out, wit 2 pre-outs, there'll be fading adn non-fading). From there, do as everyone says and split them at the amp.
