    Default amp info

    hey huys... I don' tknow much about audio, but I want to increase my knowledge. One thing that constantly bugs me is not knowing the differnces between amps. Not brands, but mono, 2 channel and 4 channel amps.

    Does anyone know of a site that explains the differences and what amp is recommended for which type of install? Everything I have found off hand really hasn't helped. I'd appreciate it.

    This is needed first.

    1. If your going to amp your highs your going to want a 4ch amp.
    2. If your going to power a set of subs your going to want a Mono amp.(BEST AMP FOR SUBS.)

    Anything else you would like to know?

    basically i'm not looking to do anything. I want to learn about audio stuff so i can expand my knowledge base as far as automotives are concerned. I mean, I can and have hooked up systems before, but it was with stuff people have already bought, and I know nothing about what kind of amp should be used for hat, what kind of power should be driving a certain power rated sub, etc. Just wondering if anyone knows a good website that explaines some info on car audio.

    Try www.crutchfield.com . They have a "learning section" that explains the basics pretty well. Maybe not the best prices, but their info is good.

    really good prices at http://www.sonicelectronix.com/ and if ur going with subs you want a amp that is mono and class D. also look for rms in all speakers and subs. Cause if the amp doesnt equal or pass what the rms is on the item it runs then you will get clipping in your audio and it will damage your system. Just letting you kno sum stuff if uwant to kno more or have questions pm me.

    Well a mono amp focus' on the low bass. 2channel is usually only for two speakers that you hook up but you also can use them for bass. 4 channel is for four speakers that you want to hook up.

    anymore questions jus ask about anything audio
