Hey guy's i have a question, can i use a Monoblock amp to run a pair of 6x9's The amp itself is a Clarion APX1301 I reffered to the manual and it didnt help. I'm trying to find out more at the moment, but in the meantime, if anyone can help, that would be great:bang:

Technically you could, but first of all itd be mono sound, and secondly it'd be low passed at about 150Hz max. ;)

hmm, odd. Another thing to think about, given that mono doesn't utilise ICEpower, distortion would be terrible at higher frequencies.

The specs say 20Hz-20kHz, so in theory, it should work fine, just mono sound rather than stereo. But it depends if the low pass filter is locked on...
