Hi, I want to know what the difference is between a mono block amp and 4,3,2 channel amps?
Cheers

monoblock is a single channel amp, hence "mono". they are used to run subwoofers.

4 channel for 4 speakers
3 channel for 2 speakers and a sub
2 channel for 2 speakers.

there are other combinations possible, but that list is keeping it simple, easy.

Thanks, thought it was along those lines

And bridgeable means you can combine channels, such as the common scenario of setting a 4 channel amp to run as 3 channel for 2 x splits and a sub!

I just want to run sub so mono block

 

[Beav]

Can you use a bridgeable amp as a mono block

Can you use a bridgeable amp as a mono block

Yes but it's more power/cost efficiant to use a monoblock and alot more simple.

Ok my sub is 1200 watt, any amount of watts the amp should be?

I doubt that your sub is 1200 watt RMS, to provide you with a amp model to run that sub we need the RMS value of the sub. What model sub is it?

Very possible, but with the 'good' gear people around here seem to buy it's most like a peak bullcrapped value.
