possibly wrong forum? if you mean monoblock amp for a car, i'm not sure if vacuum tubes are a good idea for a moving vehicle?

if you want to know how to wire up a mono amp (eg class D) for a subwoofer, it's easy as... there should be L & R coax in, and a single channel speaker out.

Yeah I know a little bit about amps but I guess I was just wandering what a mono amp means exactly.

A mono amplifier makes a great choice for powering subwoofers. They're specifically designed for low-frequency reproduction, with built-in bass boost and low-pass filters. Class D mono amps are often a good choice — they draw less current, produce less heat, and are more efficient than conventional amp designs. You can use a 2-channel amp for powering two subs, or bridge the amp to single channel operation for a single woofer. Likewise, a 4-channel amp can be bridged to 2-channel mode to power a pair of subs. How much power you need depends on the subwoofer(s) you'll be using, but figure on at least 150-200 watts per sub for 10" or 12" subwoofers.
