Eclipse 5 ch amp - 5/4 mode question

[Tbonem3]

Hi there, wondering if someone can help me. I read an ad from someone a while ago on ebay about a 5 channel Eclipse amp, a 3650 or 3532 or something that was a 5/4 amp that had a switch for 5 or 4 channel mode. They said that if you run it in 4 channel mode, the front 2 channels get more power.

So, instead of 2 x 40w front, 2 x 40w rear, and 140w x 1 sub (5 channel), you'd get 110w x 2 front and 40w x 2 rear (4 ch).

Can anyone please confirm or deny that an Eclipse 5 channel amp with 5/4 mode sends more power to the front channel when in 4 ch mode? Only documentation I've found is the same eclipse catalogue over and over on the internet that gives specs, but not other info (not user manual).

Thanks!

Cant confirm unless you give a specific model number. I ran an Eclipse XA5000 and an EA3532

Specs from my EA3532 manual are here.

Thanks ya, the 3532. I found those specs in the catalogue too, but there's no mention of what 4 channel mode means. They only give specs for 5 channel - 40x4 + 120X1 @ 4ohm. Looking for info on the 4 channel mode thanks - does your manual talk about running the 3532 in 4 channel mode?
