Just picked up this combo for 220 bucks. Great deal I think. Question is l bought it to run mono with my 1200ii for my rtia9. Will they match as far as sound?

Based on what I have read the main difference is the trigger. Is this correct?

    That is a great deal, but I wouldn't run them mono for the 9's. Usually in a bridged mode, most amps don't like impedance swings much below 8 ohms, and they add a level of additional noise to the signal. The 9's can dip below 4 ohms.

    Either one of those amps is capable of running both 9's all on it's own.

    Alright thanks guys. Guess I'm gonna leave the b&k on the a9 and pair the 1500a with some def tech bp8060 as a 2 channel system for now.
