What is the frequency of mono?

There is no frequency of mono. Mono is a one channel signal, stereo is a two channel signal.


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.

A mono amp will not sound good with door speakers. There are to be used with subwoofers


What is the effect of connecting a left and right channel of a speaker to the amplifier's right channel speaker terminal A and B and what will be the effect on the speakers and amplifier?

Connecting speaker leads to both right outputs, A&B, will only play the right channel of the sound (in mono) when both pairs of speakers, A and B are turned on. This won't damage the amplifier or speakers, but you won't be listening in stereo.


Is a 4 channel amplifier better than a mono?

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.

You have 2 subwoofers at 400 watts RMS each Do you need an amplifier of 800 watts RMS?

no you dont There are a couple of options. you can buy a 2 chanel with 400W rms per chanel, or a mono at 800w. make sure you match the ohms of you speakers with you amp. If your amp is 800w rms at 2ohm, it's 400w rms at 4 ohms. So if your speakers are 4 ohms, they wouldn't be getting the power they need. And remember you can blow speakers by under powering them, but not by over powering them.


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.
