Well I've got the same question for you too...

Thread jack

Im running the GTS HU
Connected to amp via high input (all 4 rear speaker wires)
(actually Marty gave me the idea of running via high input since my amp supports it and not installing the $300? audison processor/rca converter)

Running stock speakers at the front off the amp and sub off the same amp.

Is it worth it ? Getting a processor...

My sound quality is not too bad, i dont think. (still getting used to front speakers only) Maybe amp and HU needs better tuning. I only spent about 30min tuning it.

Also if I decided to run the rear speakers off the same channel as the front speakers. Would I run them in parallel or series (from what i've read Parallel is the go) ? Would I risk blowing speakers or amp. Or both ?

If you are happy with it, i wouldn't worry about the processor

Personally, i wouldn't run rear speakers, when you go to a concert, you don't stand with your back to the gig? :p

But!
If you connect them in parallel you will get a 2 ohm load, which will probably be fine for the amp, you will get more power too, if you connect them in series you will get 8 ohm, which will give you less power. (and some amps don't like running it either)
If you do connect them, i would go parallel, but there will be problems, you wont be able to control the power going into them, or volume.
you will more than likely fry the rear speakers before the fronts, every time you turn up the volume you will clip the rear speakers while the fronts will be ok, soon enough you will let you the magical smoke and that stuff is almost impossible to get back in!

man, you guys are making me remember stuff i have long thought forgotten :p
