Ok, been searching for hours for an answer to this. I'm planning on gutting an old 1 speaker vintage radio and updating it with some new internals which will most importantly include new speakers and an amp. Though, I want to add a 2-way speaker (woofer; 50hz-3khz and mid to full range; 1khz-20khz) which will be crossed somewhere around 300hz.
My question is; do I use a 2 channel amp and dedicate each speaker to its own channel or do I figure out how to run this setup mono? My worry is that all of the input coming from my source will be in stereo and the output will be compromised as one channel will be dedicated to lows and the other to highs. Im aware this would not matter if I were using two 2-way speakers.
Maybe I'm reading into this a bit too much. Just want some clarification, or even suggestions, as to which route I should take.
Also, take those figures above with a grain of salt. I haven't figured out just yet which components I will go with.
Thank you in advance.
