I'm 98% shure you're supposed to plug your speakers into the speaker out plugs.

I just came to that same conclusion...but im not really sure wat each one of these are and wether or not to setup my speakers as mono or stereo

read the manual for the amp, or visit their website for online help manuals, and definitely set the speakers to stereo.

binding posts are used for speaker cables. speaker out binding posts usually can accept banana plugs, clips, wire, etc... connect speaker wires to that and to the speakers.

xlr inputs are balanced inputs from your mixer to amp. if you dont have xlr outputs on your mixer, there are connector adaptors for rcas you can buy (radioshack maybe?)
