yea this is kinda a stupid question but what is the big difference between mono and stereo i know if u dont do it correctly in stereo it wont sound as good but if u can get it right in stereo can u tell any difference between mono and stereo? Example 1 amp with 2 subs the subs are wired up in stereo VS. 1 amp with 2 subs wired in mono
do it in mono...but for subs it doesnt matter...its just that the amps made for subs are mono amps...one channel..bc the base in music only needs one channel..if you do it in stereo it wont sound different
mono may be better...correct me if im wrong anyone
are you talking about the Stereo and Mono settings on HU's?? i know alpines have this option. it only affects the sub pre out. i heard this changes the voltate of the pre out, mono is higher. not totally sure if this is correct though. but with subs, i don't think its not gonna affect the sound. speakers, it prob will.
thats true i have a two channel boss amp pushing two dubs and it sounds good, i mean for a boss. depending on your goal, you probably wont find an amp with two channels that can take a two ohm load so depending on what ohmage your trying to reach. wat model subs and amp, depending on the model a two channel gives u more to experiment with. mono channel amps are easier to deal with, i dont believe either is better though
well im lookin at these kicker amps...a 04KX450.2 that can be briged to 450 watts at 4 ohms a 04KX850.2 2CH amp that puts out 425 watts for each channel or a 04KX400.1 1 CH amp that puts out 400watts at 2ohms mono and im lookingh at Eclipse Aluminum 12" subs SW7124DVC-T2 450 watts RMS dual 2 or 4 ohm voice coals or else im gona take a drop in quality and go with Kicker CVR's 12" 400 watts RMS dual 4 or 2 ohm Voice coils im pretty set on the eclipses tho
subs offer the ability to run in mono because the waves at that frequency are longer than the distance between your two ears. thus they are perceived as one wave anyway. a stereo a/b signal is going to be cleaner and less distorted than a mono class d amp. but again, at such low frewuencies, the difference is hardly audible. that's why class d amps cost so much less than a/b amps or class a amps. it's easier/cheaper to produce the more distorted power.
so basically there is no difference between mono and sterio audibly when it comes to subs then? cause i would be saving about 150$ by going mono 25 watts of power tho or i coulg to for a 4ohm bridged and still save 120$ and fully power the subs to there RMS rating

"Seems to me that Class D amps are ussualy more expensive."
actually, the other way around. in a class d, the circuitry that makes up the majority of the actual amplifier is left out. the outputs connect the power supply directly to the speakers. hence the smaller size and less expensive cost.
I could be wrong, but isn't the point of stereo, just that, to be in stereo? So if all the bass/mid/treble is being played on the left, and none on the right, that's what makes it stereo and not mono as far as sound? I know that's how it works at home with my receiver...I can run it in stereo or mono.
