I don't remember which(right or left) but only one side puts out sound. I switched the wires to the speakers to rule out the speaker being bad, and both speakers worked when connected to the side that worked. Is my amp junk or is it something that can be fixed?

It's either the source unit or one of the amps.

It's a 10 year old amp anyway. It has served its duty. I was planning on leaving that amp on my subs and using my other 4ch amp to power my rear and door speakers. I hooked the 4ch amp up to my subs and I guess I'll just use this same amp to power my rears and leave the little 80w amp on my door speakers like I have now.

If I just run 2ch and power my subs right now it won't hurt the amp any will it? If I just hook up the 2 subs to ch. 1 and Ch.2 and run it that way? Or should I not do that?

It'll work fine and not damage the amp but you won't be getting a ton of power to the subs.

I have it hooked up that way now and I get enough power from the subs to do what I want. As long as it's not hurting the amp any I don't need to bridge it to get what I want. Now I just need to get some 6x8's for the rear and I'll be good to go.
