NO, Never mix amps of different wattage on the same sub. If you wanted to bi-amp a sub(usually must be a DVC) you should use two of the same amps and would be wise to set it up with an O-scope.

You can use a mono amp but it won't sound right IMO.

It will sound wierd because it will be mono, you are used to listen to music in stereo. That is the only reason. As long as the LPF can be disabled then you are good.

and chances are if its a mono amp its a class D. very limited frequency range even without the LPF and generally have a high THD when compared to the class a/b's
