No the front two speakers are not considered one. They both get different freqences and are powered by different amps.
The amps in the Mach 460 system are non-adjustable units that use speaker-level imputs.
Here's kind of a break down of the amps for ya. The front amp is a 60-watt(30x2) parametrically equalized amplifier located in dash console under radio/CD player. This amp powers the front and rear high frequency (Mid/Tweeters 2 1/2") speakers and sends the low frequency signal via a series fader to the rear amps. The rear amps (2x45w Nom. x2) provide a mono bass signal to the mid/woofers. These two amps power the front and rear low frequency (Mid/Woofers 6"x8") speakers
Unless you are unhappy with your Mach 460 system(other than bass) I would just leave the stock amps in place and just use the 80W sub output to power the sub. Or you could purchase another amp, if you go that route I would suggest a JBL BP300x1, you can get one from Scala1 on E-bay(bought a lot of my stuff from him) for 132 bucks. Not bad for a amp that pushes a true 300 watts.
