VT-12 setup with 7.1

[cmyk]

Hi - Newbie here...
Recently got the VT-12 and am wondering how I should set it up with my amp. Amp is 5.1/6.1/7.1 capable. Should I treat the SB speaker as two and feed the SBL into the bottom connections and the SBR into the top - or just set the amp setup parameters to "SINGLE" for the SB outputs and run just the one wire set. Does it really make any difference?
Also - using the ventroloquist mode for the fronts - should i set up the amp as LARGE for center and SMALL for the r & L Fronts in the amp parameters, or set them all for LARGE ? (not using SW... yet..)
Thanks for any help.

Hi CMYK,

For all the front and rear speakers, set them to 'Small'.

Hook up the VT-254 rear left/right satellites to Side Surround Left/Right outputs on the receiver, and the VT-251 rear center satellite should go to the Back Surround Left output on the receiver. Note that you can add another VT-254 satellite speaker to get a true 7.1 system

Sincerely,
