A salesperson at a local stereo shop told me i could run 2 subs off of a mono amp. I’m somewhat new to car audio, but i can’t figure out how that would be possible. I’d just like to know if it can be done, since if it can i’m going to get a JBL 600.1 to run 2 JL 10w3v2’s. Thanks guys.

you can wire as many subs as you want to that amp. all the mono means is it only sends out 1 signal and not 2 like 2 channel amps. mono amps are generally mreo efficent as well. to run both of those you’d wire in either parallel, or series, or a combination if the subs aree DVC
