Depends on your definition of "dual mono". To be truly "dual mono" they should have two completly seperate amps, including power supply's, power leads and controls. Really no car amps are built this way, so they all have some dual purpose parts.

I see at least a few IC chips that don't look mirrored, so there is some shared components. Why do you need dual mono amps? Why not get two mono amps?

this might sound dumb.

but most of the other " dual mono" amps that i've come across sound excellent

Ie Genesis Dual Mono,

These were the first few amps i ever bought from a friend when i started playin with car audio, old school stuff.

decided to take it out and take a closer look at it.. and see what you guys think

thanks for your feed back! appreciate it!

Cheers

heyaaa

think this amp existed b4 any official rating things came out

it's a super old school cheater amp, think if i'm not wrong, it existed during the days whereby SPL catagories went by power class,

thus rated at 2x50 watts, this little MOFO could do 1000 watts @ 1ohm, ( and its CLEAN POWER! used it b4).

so imaging runnin 5 of these babies in a 500 watt class. hahahaha

old school, but intend to use it for my front stage soon.. heheh
