Mono amps...

Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 131 Registered: Dec-05 | are mono amps better than 2 channel? and does mono mean it can only be hooked up to 1 sub? | |

Silver Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 255 Registered: Nov-05 | they arent any better....but for subs you want to go with a mono...you will get a lot more power..for alot cheaper..(not saying mono amps are bad quality)..and you can hook up as many subs as you want | |

Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 133 Registered: Dec-05 | so whats the differents between mono and multi channel amps?? | |
|
Silver Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 258 Registered: Nov-05 | mono is meant for subs....multi channel amps are meant for speakers...you dont want one channel of music going to 4 speakers...because then the sounds that are suposed to come on the left speakers..will come on all of them also you dont want a multichannel amp for your subs unless you already have one being unused. dont let it goto waste. it is perfectyly fine to use a multi channel amp on subs..but if your buying a new one buy a mono...more power for less $$ |

Silver Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 261 Registered: Nov-05 | okay well the best thing to do...is first get the subs you want..say they are each 500 watts RMS..so 1000RMS all together then u want to find an amp that is 1000 RMS at one ohm...bc the less ohms..the more power to the subs.. so find an amp that is stable at one ohm..mono amp..and that is the same RMS @ 1 ohm as your subs |

Silver Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 263 Registered: Nov-05 | okay find an amp stable at one ohm.....and if the amp has 2 positives and two negatives...wire each sub separatly in parallel down to two ohms....and wire each sub to its corresponding negatives and postivie's..then since each pair of neg. and pos, have a two ohm load...the load will be cut in half and your amp will se it as 1 ohm....therefore giving you the most power to your subs... if your amp just has one positive and one negative...wire both subs together down to one ohm...your manuals will show you how |

Silver Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 264 Registered: Nov-05 | but the best thing to do is just learn how all the combos of voice coils and stuf can go together..and whcih amps will be stabel at what ohms...thenn you can get the best for your money and get the best combo of power....but for now i would say get a 1 ohm stable that matches the power capabilities of your subs....deal with RMS NOT MAX | |
