Default Mono vs Stereo

Anyone gone from a mono setup to a stereo setup? If so, notice a difference.

Debating on switching up SD 800.4 2ohm (running 4 speakers in mono) to something in order to get 4 speakers in stereo.

Currently not happy with front stage (PRV's, SV's, Euphoria's. Mmats) and all sorts of tuning. They all just sound blah, almost muffled. Looking for crisp, clear in the upper frequencies ranges.

Honestly, with speakers that close you don't notice the stereo but if you blue tooth it to a helmet or combine bar speakers with hard bag speakers you can balance the sound and hear the stereo.

specifically what speakers are you running up front, if you are using a pa style 6.5 mid bass speaker, it sounds like you need horns, if you are running coaxials and not getting enough on the highs, maybe you need to run the pa style with the horn. give us a more specific description of the cobo's that you have tried and how you are tuning them.

PRV 6mr500 with B3 horns. Horns running on own DSP channel and SD 250. I've tried all sorts of different tunes.
