You CAN run 2 speakers off of a 1 channel amp, just that amp is way too little power for your subs.

What is a mono subwoofer amplifier?

Surely enough, if you are looking to create more complex sounds with a whole lot more detail, a single-channel amp can still do an excellent job. This is because these types of amps are perfect platforms for you to use pedals and shape your sound that way.

Can you bridge a 1 channel amp?

A mono block amplifier has only 1 channel and cannot be bridged. The 2 outputs of a mono block amplifier are there to easily connect multiple subwoofers. If you are not sure whether your amp is a mono block or a multi-channel model, look at the speaker terminals.

Can you use a 4 channel amp for 1 sub?

You can’t unless you have a dual voice coil sub and put each coil per 2 channels bridged which I don’t recommend because the gain setting has to be exact. You can bridge 2 channels together for that one sub but you have to see what impedance your sub is at.

Can you bridge a 4 channel amp to 1 sub?

It is not possible. 4 will become 2, and 2 channel can become 1.

What is a single channel amplifier?
