Answer #1

if you have 2 subwoofers with one input you can run them with a mono but my boyfriend said if your not sure what your donig be careful cause you can blow up your speakers or amp good luck :)

Answer #2

the difference is a mono amp is alredy bridge. you can hookup 2 sub’s to the mono amp but whatch the impedance if the subs are 4ohms both will drop the amp to 2ohms & it can make a 100w amp in to a 200w amp & so on. & a mono amp will last longer than a 2ch amp because its made for sub’s. I think your amp’s wattage sud be 3/4 of what your sub’s rms wattage is. & if your subs are dual voice coils it may drop the amp to 1ohms & it can burn it up if it cant handal it.

Answer #3

Get yourself a mono amp that can take a 1 ohm stable load if you want to get as much power as possible and you want to have a amp thats not going to overpower or underpower your woofers and make sure its getting all the batt power that it needs and that its grounded good. Your going to want to make sure you have a good box for your woofers I recommend a ported box because its a lot louder than a sealed but if you are going for max sound quaulity go sealed all day
