What is better for a 15 inch sub..A mono amp or a 2 channel amp?

Question:
The guy at the Rockford store told me the 2 channel because it had less ohm..and the less ohm the more bass you get..is that true?

Answers:

Which amp to go with my subs?

If you only have 1 sub, then it doesn't matter, however you want to match the max output of either amp to the right Ohm rating. So if the amp produces 500 Watts @ 4 ohms, match that, if it produces 1000 at 2 ohms try and get a configuration to match that.
Read the specs on the amp and get the right sub,. Mono's usually output more power since it's only a single sub. while 2 channels are usually capable of running at lower Ohms. Again if there is only 1 sub, do a mono unless they have a really low resistance sub.
If you get dual subs then you can bridge them and get the lower Ohms on a 2 channel Amp. IE 2 - 4 Ohm subs bridged to mono on a 2 channel sub will get you to 2 Ohm resistance and possibly the highest output of that Amp.

I want to put 7 amps in my truck totaling 6400 watts. Should I get a capacitor and how many farads?


If you do not match then you run the risk of blowing the speaker and or bad distortion.

Hope that helps a little. Best bet: one sub - mono Amp.

What sizes are the speakers for a 1989 Silverado Full Size Pickup?

A mono amp is geared for low end frequencies.
Where the two channel will have a wider range of frequencies it can output. Generally, monos have frequencies rage from 20 to 250hz, where 2 channels range fom 20 to 1200.
Thats gonna cause alot of high end to come through the Sub, and you usually only wanna hear low end

135.0 db's on the scosche db meter. what am i realy doing, 2 12's he2 in ported box 1000 watts rms amp

Go for the mono. Mono amps are built strictly for bass and outputs only low frequency. Stereo amps will also run the sub, although the bass response won't be anywhere near as good as a mono amp.

Anyone ever plug their sub into a wall outlet?


Many newer amps these days all support 1ohm impedance, with some even accepting 1/2ohm. So you don't need a stereo amp just to get low impedance, The guy at the Rockford store should have been able to tell you this.
