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

I did take the time to look up a picture of the amps and my assessment is the same.

First of all, the amps have inputs from the preamp. The outputs go to the speakers, one for the left and one for the right. Each amp will only power one speaker unless they have an A/B switch and then only one channel.

I say hook them up and try it. You can turn the rears off with a simple push of a button if you don't always want them on. I would put the best pair in front unless there is a large discrepancy in volume. A small difference can be compensated for by moving the rears further away from the listening position.
