hey guys, i was about to hook up my rockford 160.4 in my truck to run in 2 chan mode for my front components.  looked into the directions and got a bit confused on the way they broke it down.  the diagram they have is confusing to me, i was just gonna bridge it like normal in mono, but then they have it titled 2-chan mono and 2-chan stereo.  what are the benefits/differences between the two and what kinda power are we talking as well?  speakers are an older, 4ohm set of mb quarts.  below are the diagrams from the rockford fosgate site:

Two channel stereo mode is just that...STEREO sound while in mono mode there is no difference from the sounds coming from the left or right speakers.

It is like on a tv when you choose the sound to be stereo or mono...in stereo you can tell if something is coming from the right or left speaker...in mono all of it is combined so there is no separation
