MillaLite Unregistered guest | Well how would you connect a mono amp? Does'nt that mean it has one channel? Cause i am lookin for a good amp to buy to power my Kicker L15 12" solo barics that have 600 RMS, and are Dual 2 voice coil. How would a mono amp be connected to both of them subs? |

Bronze Member Username: StamantPensacola, FL USA Post Number: 13 Registered: Sep-04 | Thanks GlassWolf for the help. How much power would two subs get a piece if a mono amp says it puts out 600Wx1? Also what does monoblock mean? |
