It all depends on what your using it for, in example. If you have a 400 watt 4 channel amplifier then that means you can hook up 4 units to the amplifier at a 100 watts each (4x100=400). these units could be things such as door speakers, tweeters, mid ranges, anything that produces sound. A mono is no better than 4 channel it is just used for a different purpose. Mono or Mono-block amplifiers are used for subwoofers because they only have one slot to exert power from so the whole power of the amp is distributed to one source. The cool thing about 4 channel amplifiers is that you can get some decent aftermarket door speakers and hook them up to your 4 channel, turn on your high pass frequency filter, and blast those speakers as loud as you want without having your bass drown them out.

What is a mono amp?

A mono amp is an amplifier that puts out only one channel of sound, as opposed to a stereo amp that puts out two channels of sound. A mono amp is generally used for extremely low frequencies (ie bass) that are channeled into a single subwoofer. It doesn't matter that both stereo channels are combined for these low bass frequencies because you couldn't tell which channel the sounds are coming from anyway (because you feel the sound pressure more than hear the sound).


Is better to have a mono amp or 2 channel amp to 2 sub-woofers?

You won't notice any stereo separation with two subwoofers because our ears perceive bass as omnidirectional. Two subs can make more volume than one of the same size. If you are using two subs, you should either use two separate mono amps, or a two channel setup. As long as the amps have a high pass filter they will work equally well, although the wiring will be simpler for the two Chanel setup.

How is the amplifier watt rated for example if its 350 watt and 2 channels does it produce a 350 watt at each channel or is it divided on the 2 channels so that it would be 175 watt for each channel?

if it is 350 rms by 2 channels it is 175 rms each channel unless it can be bridged than its 350 rms by 1 channel


How do I bridge my Stereo PA amplifier to run one 8 ohm Sub-Woofer?

Bridging two amplifier channels is a way of delivering more power to a single speaker. A two channel amplifier might have a power output of 100W per channel. By linking them together, the power output to the single speaker can increase to 200W. It's not always quite that simple. If the amplifier can be bridged, it will say so in the manual and it will show the connections that need to be used. Trying to bridge an amplifier that is unsuitable is a sure fire way of killing the amplifier and perhaps the speaker itself. There are certainly methods that can be used to bridge amplifier channels even if the manufacturer does not offer the facility. To do so needs an intimate knowledge of the electronics used in the amplifier. The fact that this question is being asked indicates that the required knowledge isn't there right now. Much safer to obtain an amplifier that is rated and approved for bridged loads than risk the unpleasant results of getting it wrong.
