How audio signals run @ home or in your car:

Mono = 1
Stereo = 2

Left + Right = Stereo

So Front/Right is 1 Audio Channel and Front/Left is 1 Audio Channel
Rear/Right is 1 Audio Channel and Rear/Left is 1 Audio Channel.

2 Channel Amps just cover Left and Right (Stereo)
4 Channel Amps handle Left and Right as well as Front and Rear

You would need a 4 Channel Amp for (I assume) your 2 6.5's in the front and 6x9's in the rear.

That's all for today's lesson. Be prepared for a quiz on Friday.
