DieselPB Posted June 27, 2010 Report Posted June 27, 2010 I want to wire two subs. Are there any advantages to using a 2 channel amp for two subs instead of a mono channel for two subs? Also, what exactly is the difference between multi-channel amps and mono channels, other than the number? EDIT: If it matters, Ill be using DVC 2 ohm subs.
nCOMP1337 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Posted June 27, 2010 mono amp i believe refers to the way the sound is present rather than the number of channels, such as stereo and mono sound my mono amp had inputs for 2 separate speakers or in other words, 2 pos. inputs and 2 neg. inputs i believe mono amps at least class d ones, do not run as hot, and do not need as much power to do the same thing as a multi-channel amp, also i believe its more efficient as well im new to the audio stuff but this is what ive gotten from doing various research or at least i think this is along the lines of what your asking
Cashdollar2009 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Posted June 27, 2010 i believe mono amps at least class d ones, do not run as hot, and do not need as much power to do the same thing as a multi-channel amp, also i believe its more efficient as well Reasons being as to why it is more efficient. Efficiency is the key here. A class d mono-block amplifier in 99% of cases require less current to make power. Hence efficiency. Moral of the story, read your brains out here. Understand ohm loads!!!!! And go from there. But... if this is strictly a subwoofer application amplifier, then go class-d mono-block, no doubt.
