You can, but the problem is your speakers will not give their optimal sound quality because your Amplifier is too weak for the speakers. So,buy an amplifier with an output power rating high then 400w.

Is a 250 watt mono channel amp good enough for 2 100 watt speakers?

Monoblock amp? No. Only 1 channel which is good for one speaker, or one sub. What you need is either a 2 channel amp or a bridgeable 4 channel amp, which would be overkill anyway. If the amp you have is 2 channel, it would be ideal.

No, that's just the maximum capacity of the speakers. You can always run them at less than their maximum rating.


Can you use a 600 watt amp on a 300 watt speaker?

AS long as the impedance is a match you can use any speake with any amp. But if the power ratings are too mismatched don't expect it to sound that good. If the amp is stronger than the speaker, the speaker can be damaged if you crank the amp up high. And if you hook an amp to a too strong speaker the amp might have trouble powering it properly.
