Quick Q about 2 Channel Amp's

[MiG]

Right, so i've currently got a Vibe Blackbox I wired up to my 6x9's in the back of the Cinq, but..

in the PDF that is basically the manual, it states that you can power 2 speakers, and a SUB from the amp.

Now, call me thick, but this is just what the manual states, everyone i've asked tells me that this is not possible because its only a 2-Channel AMP.

If it does work i'm guessing the wattage per speaker goes down, and all the rest of it, but, in theory will it work ?

I'm not after the loudest n daftest soundsystem so would just like to know the implications of doing what i want to do.

if its 2 channel it would be either/or.
guessing its a typo?

yes, you can usually bridge over the two channels to get a 'centre' channel

yes but also get a stereo feed for 2 speakers with those bridged for a sub output?

On mine i can. I have a 6" midrange mounted under the center console running this way, and still have stereo output from the other speakers.
I'm using the two positive outputs for R and L for the mid. Technically this isnt a 'centre' channel though, the mid speaker is running from the voltage difference between left and right, not combined.

Vibe's site is down at the mo, but once its back up, il'll get the pic lol.

yes its possible, its called "tri-mode" on most amps that can do it.
i've had it working fine in the past.

here's how it works

I thought Tri-mode was only available on 4 channel amps, this is where you bridge two channels for the sub and use the other two for the speakers (on for each). Thats how mine is wired.

He said he has a two channel amp so surely he can't have a tri mode. The PDF probably says he can cos its made for the 2 & 4 channel amp. I have a mutant MT200.4 (which is 4 channel) but the manual covers the MT80.2 (which is two channel) aswell.

tri mode is possible on SOME amps but not all. so be careful.

 

[chaos]

2 channel amps can run in tri mode.

Nice taste, also have this too

Lol people on here hate Mutant, reckon they are low budget pieces of s**t. Ever had any problems with reliabilty?

Besides I was clever and got 2 year warranty
