Buy a new pair of speakers for your rears that match your amp impedance or try to switch them with somebody. Also, check the spec of the speakers, 4 ohm is the used imp in car audio; that could be a use to give them.

Speakers don't output watts, unless you are talking about professional units, and 100 acoustic watts would deafen you pretty quickly.. You should worry more about your impedance. A 4 ohm and an 8 ohm paired will make somewhere around 2-3 ohms, which might fry your amp. You can go into a switching system, and then add volume controls if you really, really must match levels. Also, nothing you have said indicates relative level. If you are using a home theater receiver, there should be level controls in the setup. If these are the back channels, just use those to set levels.<br><b>References : </b><br> You can’t.

Measure the distance for the wires to run from the receiver to the speakers. Adjust the listening distance with your receiver.<br><b>References : </b><br> Place your speaker where U want.
