It will sound nicer at higher volumes that way. 2 channel you would have to bridge the front speakers and the rear speakers as one, which means stereo wouldnt sound as good. The setttings for the front speakers have to be different than the rear. Even better would be to get a crossover and 2 smaller amps, that way you can fine tune even more.
If he has components in the front, they should probably already have a set of passive crossovers and he wouldn't need to buy a separate crossover. Also, you don't "bridge speakers", you bridge an amp. Stereo only consists of two channels, so saying that "stereo wouldn't sound as good" using a 2 channel amp is a bit misleading. The direction of the soundstage might be affected using a 2 channel amp for all 4 speakers, but that could be easily remedied by running the front speakers off the amp and powering the rears with the deck - the deck should have crossover and fader settings to fix that.
