[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 3038380, member: 550915"] There are "dual mono" amps out there. They tend to be very high end designs and have fullt independant circuitry for each channel as far as power supply, preamp, and gain stages. Some of these are bridgeable within the amp, some are not. They are technically mono block amps because they don't share circuitry between the channels even though they are in the same chassis. Not too many of these aroung any more. You can also "bridge" some models of mono amps using 2 amps. Most people refer to this as "strapping" but electrically it works the same as bridging a normal 2 channel amp. Bridging in any form does require 2 channels, though. There is also nothing saying that all mono amps or even Class D mono amps are designed for subs. Zapco makes a full range high powered Class A/B mono amp and Xtant makes a low powered full range Class D mono amp. [/QUOTE]
