Setting up monoblocks


Hi, any help would be great. I am sure this is simple but I can't get my head around this.
I was given 2 denon-poa-6600 monoblock amps. They each have 2 outputs.
Running them into my preamp and 4 speakers. Looking at the front speakers do I use one amp for front left and rear left, and then right front and rear with the other amp?
The mono part is playing with my mind not usually this mentally challenged hahah.
Thanks

Dear Eagleflyerfan:

Twenty seconds ago, I was utterly unfamiliar with your amplifier -- and judging from their responses, so are Mssrs. Rmwear, Tom6897, and Mceljo.

However, twenty seconds is all it took for me to go from this AudiogoN page, to Google, and to this picture:

for me to become at least familiar enough to answer your question accurately:

Your amps each have a single input. You do have two input connection OPTIONS (single ended or balanced) which is a nice feature.

Your amps each have TWO sets of speaker outputs, and an Output Selector Switch. This allows you to hook up two speakers to each amp; and the Output Selector Switch allows you to play either speaker by itself, or both speakers at the same time.
.
I did take the time to look up a picture of the amps and my assessment is the same.
I guess i could have described the amps a little better for clarity, especially the a/b button which is important.

I am still a little unsure on the rear speaker setup. Do i keep the left front and left rear on one amp etc, or do I crossover the rears and do front right left rear etc. on one amp.
I figured I would ask and look foolish then not ask and do everything twice. Thanks
Well, you can do whatever you want, it will work either way. However, you will not get "surround" sound if that is what you are looking unless you feed one amp w front signal from an AV processor/pre and one amp w the rear. Also make sure that your amps can handle the lower impedance that you get from running two sets of speakers in parallel if you have the A and b speakers selected simultaneously. IOW, if your "front" and "rear" speakers are 4 ohm nominal and 2 ohm minimum, then the amp would need to be stable into a 2 ohm nominal and 1 ohm minimum load.
