[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 998366, member: 561023"] 1) Monoblock: A single channel amplifier, typically using Class D circuitry, designed to amplify a narrow frequency range usually in a range of approximately 10Hz ~ 200Hz. The specifics of the frequency range will differ somewhat from one unit to another but that's a generic ballpark figure that's close enough for this discussion. Designed to produce gobs of power relatively efficiently but with a somewhat higher THD% (total harmonic distortion percentage) than a Class A or A/B amplifier. As distortion is generally much more difficult to distinguish in the lower octaves Class D amplifiers are best suited for reproducing bass. 2)The amount of subs a given monoblock amplifier can safely drive will be dependant upon how low of a resistance load (measured in Ohms) the amp can operate while remaining stable and the voice coil configuration and wiring method for the sub or subs you're wanting to drive with it. Read through the 'How To' sections of this forum and you'll find an wealth of helpful tips, tricks, and info. Everyone's a newb at some point. Welcome to the wide world of car audio ~ one of the most expensive and addicting habits that still remains mostly legal to be an enthusiast of.
