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.

Can you power 2 door speakers on a mono amp?
A mono amp will not sound good with door speakers. There are to be used with subwoofers
Can you use a mono power amplifier to power speakers or aew they strictly for subwoofers?
Certainly, you can also use 2 mono amps to power left and right stereo channels. One for each channel. Using one mono amp for stereo results in a mono output though.
What is the differences in a 1 channel amp and a 2 channel amp?
when you connect the rcas to a 1 channel (mono) amp. the signal from the left rca and right rca is combined to give you a mono signal. that signal is then amplified and sent out through the one channel. a 2 channel amp will send the signal from the left rca to one channel and the signal from the right to the other channel. mono amps are usually used to power subwoofers. 2 channel and 4 channel amps are usually used to power speakers 5 channel amps are usually ment to power speakers plus a subwoofer/subwoofers 2 channel amps are also used to power subwoofers in different situations. if you have one subwoofer with a 4 ohm impendance your better off powering that sub with a 2 channel amp instead of a mono amp. this is because you can "bridge" the 2 channels for this sub which will put a 2 ohm load on each channel. which theoretically means it will put out twice as much power as it would compared to if it had a 4 ohm load on each channel. this means that you can buy a less powerful amp which will be cheaper for you, and also smaller, so it will take up less space.. a big bonus in car audio. bridging is simply using both channels for one load (sub/s), this is done by connecting the pos. wire to the pos. output of one channel and connecting the neg. wire to the neg. ouput of the other channel. pretty much every amplifier in production nowadays is bridgable.
Can you hook up two subwoofers to one receiver?
yes, you can, either via a Y-cable to the sub output, or via a pre-amp, or hook them up parallel to a mono amp or if you have a 2 channel amp then just hook them up regurally but if you have a mono amp then...have two positive and two negative wires coming out of the amp then hook 1 negative wire up to the negative spot on a speaker..then do the same with the other..then do the same with the positive
Can you run two eight inch subwoofers requiring 50-100 watts of power each running at 4 ohms with a 2 channel 4 ohm amp putting out 75 watts per channel without damaging the subwoofers or the amp?
Yes
How do you know if your amp is putting out one channel or two channels?
It will say mono if its only 1 channel which is a sub amp only.
How do you bridge a four channel amp to a mono block?
u can bridge it to 2 channels not one to make it a mono block
What is the best amp to run 2 jl audio 10w3v3 a mono amp or a 2 channel amp?
jl audio 500/1
For sub woofers do you need a mono amp or a 2 channel amp?
Depends if you are building heavy bass system with quite a few subs then a mono amp would be suggested but if it is just a single sub just for a standard bass upgrade then a 2 channel amp would be fine you can still use a mono amp on one sub just remember to take into perspective the RMS rating and the Impedance on both the Subs and the Amp
Is it bad to bridge 2 2ohm speakers on a mono or 2 channel amp?
Yup
Is a 250 watt mono channel amp good enough for 2 100 watt speakers?
Monoblock amp? No. Only 1 channel which is good for one speaker, or one sub. What you need is either a 2 channel amp or a bridgeable 4 channel amp, which would be overkill anyway. If the amp you have is 2 channel, it would be ideal.
