buy another 1000/1 for your other speaker. buy a two channel amp. mono=1 channel for sub duty

you need a four channel for the 6x9 and 57.2's....oyu need one channel per speaker except for subs which dont reqwuire a channel per driver because they are not stereo...

why not go with the jl 300/4? You've got the 1000/1 and the 12w7, but their sister...

I think thats to much power for my walmart pioneers and the small kickers. Plus im already worried about my alternator not being able to handle the w7 and 1000/1:blush: but i do like that 300/4 amp.

What's your point flakko? I ran a class D on my comps and it was freakin' great!! Have you noticed how more and more manufacturers are putting out D's exactly for the purpose of running all speakers in a system? Alpine has a whole line now and Eclipse has been buliding them for years.

Now you could run all your comps off that 1000/1, but it would not be economical at all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

i'm not sure but isn't the jl 1000/1 not a full range amp? if its not a full range amp then, no it'll sound like crap. having all your speakers in mono on a 1 channel amp is a big no no.

The amplifier being Class D is not the reason it's not a good idea //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Class D, as a topology, are more than capable of being used for full range applications.

It is a horrible idea to run your main speakers in mono. Sound is in stereo (hence the reason we call our audio systems "stereos"), and running your entire setup in mono would sound aweful. That is the first reason not to do it.

2nd is as was mentioned by alphakenny.....I do not believe the 1000/1 is a full range monoblock, meaning it wasn't designed to produce the full frequency spectrum.

true but in some cases such as bridging a 4 channel amp to run lets say midbass would be okay even though both midbasses are being run in mono.

It is acceptable to run each individual side feeding a mono signal to it so long as you continue to have both left and right channels represented. You can run a mono left signal to the left midbass (to use your example) and a mono right signal to the right midbass and you'll still have 'stereo' source reproduction overall //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
