Default Wiring fronts to amp ????

I would like to wire my components to run off of my 4 channel 800w amp in the rear. I have two channels on the amp connected to my jl sub stealth box. My amp is connected to the two HU preout ports. How should I connect the front component speakers to the amp, in a way that will enable me to fade/balance the front speakers? I plan on connecting the rear HU channels to the factory rear speakers.

Save your money and buy another 2 channel or mono block amp for the sub. Then use the 4 channel amp for what it was designed for.

Unfortunately, at the moment due to economics I am unable to build the system you speak of. I just want to know if it is "possible" to power the front components from the amp and still be able to fade my factory rears and fronts using the HU.

Its possible but why rig it. Just wire the 4 channel up and enjoy that untill you have enough money for the mono block.
