4 channel amp switch question..

[jbgarner12 10+ year member]

I recently purchased a 32440 Eclipse 4 channel amp for my mids/tweets...On this amp it has of course high pass/low pass switches and it also has L+R/Stereo/Mono?..Now I know what the mono would be for, but what do you guy's use for a four speaker set up? Right now I have it on L+R..I'm sorta a noob so I'm confused on which it should be on...

Speakers are 4 Boston Acoustics SL80

» 2-way plate speakers for 5"x7"

» copolymer woofer with rubber surround

» 1" Kortec® dome tweeter

» power range: 2-60 watts RMS (200 watts peak power)

» frequency response 45-20,000 Hz

» sensitivity: 90 dB

Eclipse 32240 specs

200W x 4 Channel Max. Power Output at 2Stereo

120W x 4 Channel 0.1% THD at 2Stereo, 20-20,000Hz@13.8V (RMS Continuous Power)

85W x 4 Channel 0.1% THD at 4W Stereo, 20-20,000Hz@13.8V (RMS Continuous Power)

You want it set to stereo.

L+R I would assume is summing the the inputs (left plus right). So, each amplifier channel is outputting both the left signal AND the right signal...effectively killing "stereo" sound.
