Using one channel of an ICEpower 700as2?

[SimonY]

I have some spare 700as2 modules that I would like to make use of. Ideally I would like each module to power one subwoofer.

Can anyone confirm if I can use only one channel of the 700as2?

Each sub will receive one side of a stereo signal (could also be mono). It would be single ended input, single ended output. Just using one channel of each module start to finish. Is this possible? I can’t figure it out from reading the data sheet or searching high and low online.

Any help would be wonderful.

Many thanks

Sorry, perhaps the question should have been asked in the DIY Audio area. My apologies for posting in the amp review section. I tried to move it but not sure if I can.

you can, but I'm not sure there is a benefit in the same way there is for the 1200as2 module. The 1200as2, on 115V, can NOT output the full 1200x2 into 4 but it CAN do it into only 1 channel (limits around 700-800 per channel into 2). I am tempted to build another one to basically have 1200 into 4 monoblocks but also.....why do i need that much power...lol

I am unaware of 700as2 having a similar issue in 115 Volt

also dont rule out a subwoofer with dual voice coils and them using each channel of the 700as2 to drive each coil.

That's what I do, and at 230V
I'm a sucker for power, I know.
