Run Mids/Highs off mono amps?

Well, im starting to look into my next build and want to get loud this time.

So my question is, instead of using multiple 2 channel amps to power all my mids and highs, can I take just my left channel RCA and run that to a mono amp (using a female rca to 2 male rcas or something) and run my left side off that and do the same on the right side?

Will that effectively give me a left and right channel or even work?

This is still just in the planning stage, not committed to anything yet, just exploring options.

BTW. Looking to put 8 crescendo 8's per side (doors/kicks/console) there rated 200w rms per thats why im looking for that much power.

Thanks guys.

I dont think it would be a good idea. As far as i know mono amps dont have the range that a multi channel amp does. Also i dont think your idea with the rca's will work

why?

Mono amps are not the amps of choice for mid/hi

And running 8 per side, you think you can wire 8 to a impedance the amp will play?

8 is a nice even number, can series/parallel them real easy

If you can find a full range mono amp have at it.

didnt consider that, thanks man, something i have to look into

This might be a possible choice.

1 ohm stable on 4 channels, 600 a channel. Do 4 mids per channel, or 8 8ohm mids on one channel.

Yep you sure can.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
