stupid question about amps

[ddbddg1]

im pretty sure i already know but just to make sure i dont blow something up....can i use my small 50 watt amp to drive my bigger 400 watt amp??
just thought i would like to get a little more out of my 400
thanks in advance

Ummmm what kind of 400 watt amp?

The answer more then likely will be NO it is not a good idea

No problem to use it IF the bigger amp will take the 50 watts of drive and run properly with it. What kind of amps are they?

probably be a harmonicly rich fiesta

That would be my guess too.

I drive my 2/2879 amp with 50 watts drive from my ts-430s kenwood and get stellar reports from guys with them big scopy things on their Icoms but as stated it depends on the amp and who built it and I know who built mine and it's a true high drive.

Got to have that dampening thing happening

well the one i wanted to use as a driver is a mirage m75 and the 400 watter looks like a home built rig really well built but there is no name anywhere on it and no numbers either. ll i know is the guy i bought it from said it was 400 watts.
both crappy amps i know i just thought i could use the mirage to drive with a little more.
bout ready to chunk em both in the garbage but cant afford anythin better right now.
thanks
