Mono Amp Has Two Positive and Negative Outputs

why does my mono amp have two positive and two negative speaker outputs?

to make it easier to parallel speakers onto it? i've never seen that done though.

letmeguess,JBL   Ya I had to double take that too...

The JL Audio Mono amps configured this way also.  Even though it's a mono block amp, it gives you the option of running two subs.Do it right the first time

MTX mono amps are the same way as well.

My Phoenix Gold amp has the same thing. When I first saw it I was kinda confused, so I tried bridging the amp, but got nothing, so then I hooked up each voice coil of my sub to an output, and it worked great. What it is, the amp is internally wired in parallel, it just has two outputs for multiple subs. Paul

i just hooked up a kenwood mono class d. it has the same thing. i took 15 min. through the manual and it doesnt specify anywhere. is it ok to connect them to either set? owner of

A mono amp by definition has ONE output.  Many mono amps have multiple connection points, all connected to the same output.  It is OK to use either output.  Be aware if you connect a speaker to each one, this places them in parallel on the amplifier.Support the12volt.com

Chalk up the new rockford amps into that catagory. If its a 2 ohm stable mono block and you have two four ohm subs you connect one to each side. If you have  a dual voice coil sub you will be using one positive from one side and one negative from the other side, but check your manual to be sure of which ones and if you are using  a single voice coil 4 ohm driver then you just hook up to one side.double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer
