mono amps are for subs, if thats what you mean.

if you think the amp might blow the speakers, then a big don't worry about it. you have something on the amp called GAIN that can be used to adjust the power output (lower the volume).

post some more, it's good for you

oh alright, thank you... ya I was kind've wondering if my mono amp can still power two subs? would i have to split the wires or something to connect it up to the two subwoofers?

thanks again

no splitting wires. if they only have one voice coil (one + and one - terminal on each subwoofer) and they are 4 ohm coils (probably says on the magnet, or else look it up), then you would simply wire each of the +'s on the sub to the + on the amp, same for the -'s. this is called parallel wiring. do a search for wiring subs, and there are more than enough hints there if this doesn't make sense.

a mono amp could power 16 subs. or more. the amp has no eyes to see what it is connected to.
