Exclamation To much power?

I just bought a 350 watt four channel amp. Im worried about blowing my stock rear speakers they are only rated for 45 watts my amp puts out 60 a channel at 4 ohms . I know they wont blow if I keep the volume low enough but I was wondering if there was a way to put more power to the front speakers.

If you notice on the picture it says AMP 1 and AMP 2. I would have to put the front speakers on AMP 1 and the Rear Speakers on AMP 2. Does anyone know how the controlls involve power? I would assume that there is a way to put more power to AMP 1 or AMP 2. Ill be doing more research on my own but if anyone knows what to do your help would be extremely appreciated.

you can get these gizmos called Speaker Savers that will reduce some of the power going to the speakers. In all reality, your stock speakers are cardboard, and its not about if youre going to blow them rather than how much of a month is it gonna take to blow them. I wouldnt amplify the rears until you upgrade.

if you are responsible with tuning the gain know and operating the volume ****, the speakers will be just fine. My tweeters and mids probably have much the same ratings as yours, and I feed every single speaker in my car 170 RMS watts. Each.

I can get away with it because I do not crank my gains then blast high distortion high bass level music.
