Mono Car Stereo Amplifier?
I own a 1995 FORD F150 and will be upgrading all four speakers. If I get a 300 Watt Mono amplifier and connect it to all four speakers, does that mean each speaker would get 75 Watts of power? The amplifier I'm looking at has a power output of: 300 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms.
A mono amp should NEVER be used to run a pair of mids and highs.
I would highly recommend getting a 4 or a 5 channel amplifier.
Three big problems with your plan:
1. If you connect four 4-ohm speakers to a mono amplifier, you'll be running at a 1-ohm load, not 2-ohm. If your amp was rated for 300 watts RMS at 1 ohm, then you'd get 75 watts RMS to each speaker.
2. If you use a mono amplifier to drive your speakers, you won't have any control over the individual speakers. Your balance and fader controls won't work, and you'll get mono sound, not stereo sound.
3. Virtually every mono car audio amplifier is made to drive a subwoofer, so they don't play midrange or high frequencies. If you use a mono amp for your front and rear speakers, all you'll hear is bass. You won't even be able to hear voices clearly.
Mono amps are for subs. Multi-channel amps (2-channel or 4-channel) are made for full-range speakers.
- Car stereo basic equipment needed? I have a 97 ford ranger single cab. I want a decent stereo to crank up the music. Yes I'm the type of guy that likes others to listen to my bass and music while driving. But my stock stereo is just a joke. I want to know what are the basic components needed for a decent stereo system. And if I can even fit subwoofers on my mini truck cab. Upgrade the battery? How much a good system go for?
- Wy my car stereo keeps resetting when I power off my car? I own a 2001 luxury ford ka. I've got a new sony xplode and it resets itself and i don't know why i think it's a wireing problem memory wire problem… Can anyone explain me how i can fix it? Or a site where it explains how to fix it?
- How to get more bass out of my car stereo? I drive 2 company cars at my work (Ford FG Ute & Hyundai i Load) & both vehicles would have the best.sound systems found standard in any other car I've driven. Unfortunately I have drive home in my car. I I.installed a Sony 50w x 4 CD that fails to satisfy my appetite for rich, clear deep bass. Do these company vehicles have amps as well? I think not.
- Amplifier connected straight to battery with on/off switch would damage battery in any way? So i did this on my ford fusion 2016 straight connected to the battery with the on/off switch but now the car does not want to start as before makes a little noise like when battery its dead but turn on after 3 to 4 seconds any suggestions? Ideas thanks
