Wiring A404 for 2 ch. stereo - Confused

[redfisher 10+ year member]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to setup a PPi A404 to run my front Boston Acoustic 6.4 pro components. I don't have experience bridging, etc so pardon the ignorance. I'm trying for 200x2 and want to run them in stereo. I should point out that there is a 4ch/2ch button on the amp. I looked at the manual (not real clear IMO) and this is what I'm thinking:

LEFT rca to LEFT FRONT output on EQ

RIGHT rca to RIGHT FRONT output on EQ

...then to amp...

LEFT rca to both LEFT & RIGHT FRONT rca input (using y-connector)

RIGHT rca to both LEFT & RIGHT REAR rca input (using y-connector)

...guessing this would make both FRONT channels the LEFT ch. and both REAR channels the RIGHT channel... (?)

For wiring the speakers, L+/R- for left set of speakers to FRONT channel and the same for the right components on the REAR channel.

Any idea if this is correct or if there's a better way? I assume I should have the 4ch/2ch selecter "on" for 2ch. operation, but will this affect the ohm load?

I'd appreciate any help you can give me!

That should work just fine. I also use an old ppi art 4 channel (Ax400) and I love these amps. You should be very happy with that set-up!

Glad to hear that wiring will work - I just hope I still get seperate left and right channels. I know what you mean about the old art series. I don't even remember when I got this amp, but it's been through many trucks and more abuse than you can imagine. Still strong and clear - made like a tank and will run it 'til it quits! Those Bostons have been solid for about 10 years - can't complain.

Thanks Fos
