Stupid question: Can you use mono channel amp to power door speakers?

[Outburst]

if you don't mind having no stereo separation AND had a good way to high pass filter so that you don't destroy your speakers you could run everything off of something like that.

For future reference though, it is considered bad manners to bump old threads in online forums. We have a special mascot around here who gets posted when somebody does this.

Honestly I wouldn’t do it. 2 and 4 channel amplifiers are so cheap these days that it doesn’t really make sense to use the wrong equipment.
Something like a Taramps ts400x4 can be bought new for around $70. I have to think that some pawnshop around you has a 4 channel for $30 or $40.
If you are insistent on using that amplifier, I would only use it for the rear speakers. Leave the front speakers alone for now, that way you will have some stereo separation.

When you post in a thread it "bumps" up to the front page.

Again, discussion boards in general if you're not the thread originator posting some sort of pertinent update or resolution, resurrecting old threads is typically considered bad form.

Just pay attention to the dates before replying to threads or pop will be forced to post that baby goat picture at you.
