It shouldn't take much ingenuity to come up with a plan that is both functional and appeasing to the senses. If the amp is driving only the TS, the hot or ground wire can be routed through the switch to break the circuit. You prolly don't need Mcgyver to take a paper clip and rubber band and build a suspension bridge.

What you are looking for is a "Dual Amp Balancer."
These are used for adjusting the pre-amp levels to a seperate front and rear amp so that the one pushing more speakers can seem equal signal-wise.
You can use it instead for front and rear channel fading remotly:
All the major brands make them, as well as the aftermarket. They are not easy to find, but look for those words and you will find some like this:

Sony, Alpine, Pioneer, PIE, lots of others make them.
Hope this helps,
Joe

My 4 channel 500W amp has 2 gain adjustments with Hi/Low/Neutral pass switches. The way I wired my amp was as follows, if I can remember:
.
The 2 front factory speakers went to what would be the rear L/R channel on the amp, the 4 'cabin' speakers to same channel but for the rear speakers, with the pass switch set in the hi position. I still have fade and balance control to those speakers from the HU. Needless to say, because I am driving 6 speakers on the rear channels, the gain is set up (3/4ths or maybe a little closer to 7/8ths).
.
The tower speakers are ran from the front channels with the pass switch set to neutral. They are able to handle more wattage than the factory speakers, hence getting their own outs each. The gain on the front channel is set to about the same adjustment as the rear channel but I am only driving the 2 tower speakers. I used the pre-outs from the head unit for inputs to the TS. Fade in-out, L-R control.
.
The remote on, main in, and ground are wired as std.
.
Everything seems to work ok as one would expect, vol, F/R, L/R. I know when she's krunked, they can hear me a comin' down the cove.

Hope this helps
