I have 2 10" alpines and I wanna shoot 500watts to each sub! What do you is best a 1000watt mono amp or a 1000watt multi-channel amp?

Plz leave these kinda for people who know about stuff.
Mono blocks are made to provide 1 channel but can be made to give it to more.
Y only 500 watts,give more.
If u want a low power amp i would say go for sony,get 2 monoblocks,they provide nice power n also they are cheap.
Sony Xplod™ Amplifier - XM-ZZR3301(About 200$)
Maximum Output Power: 1 Ch x 600W at 4 ohms
Maximum Output Power: 1 Ch x 1100W at 2 ohms
if u have a little money den go for alpine of mtx
Alpine MRP-M500 (About 230$)
Per channel into 4 ohms: 300W x 1 (1% THD)
Per channel into 2 ohms: 500W x 1
MTX Thunder TC8001 (Do Not Know Price)
@4ohm: 400W x 1
@2ohm: 800W x 1
If u install 2 of each it wont cost much,also even if u install 1 ul still have alot of bass power as compared to a 4 channel,which will provide about 150W of power

either one will work, I have used both setups...
there are 3 factors to consider
1) a multichannel amp that is 2 ohm stable in stereo is only 4 ohm stable when bridged... a 1 ohm is only stable at 2 ohms bridged.
2) if you use a 4 channel amp it will be difficult to set the gains and filters at EXACTLY the same for both bridged channels AND you will have to split the input (unless the amp has line outs or an input selector switch)
3) Class - a Class D amp is much more efficient and produces less heat and strain on your electrical system. most class D amps are mono. Most multichannel amps are class A, B, or A/B
I would recommend getting the mono amp for installation simplicity, but if you get a good deal on the multichannel and the ohms of your sub are within spec go for it!

Multi channel is for more than one ACCESSORY. Mono channel is for one accessory. So you need a multi channel amp.
