You can increase gain to compensate for the rear signal weakness but then you get a lot of noise. Just avoid the rear signals in most circumstances.

In some systems, in the past, I would use rear for the sub and front for the speakers so the user could let the fader act like a sub level control. But with amps having their own knobs these days, it's no longer a useful trick.
Thank you Mr. Keep Hope Alive. Yep, got it on leaving the signals open. Appreciate your help. I’ll see what the gain control does for me when I tap the fronts.
