Guys,
Sorry if this is dumb, but here is my question.
I have a full aftermarket system - HU, speakers, subs, and 2 amps. I used to have 1 amp running my mids and highs and 1 running my sub.
But, my sub amp is blown. So, can I just use my 1 amp to run the subs and the speakers?
Peace,
jonny

Johnny,
How many channels does your amp have? If it has 4, then you could run your mids and highs off of 2 channels and your sub off of the other 2 channels bridged. This is how I have mine setup.

I am not sure how many channels it has?? I take it that it will say it on the amp?? The amp is old and I don't have a manual or anything for it as it was in the car when I bought it.

take a look at the inputs. If it has 1 set of RCA inputs then it's a 2 channel amp. If it has 2 sets of RCA inputs then it's a 4 channel amp. And yes, it usually says how many channels on the amp. Take a pic of it and post it up.
Johnny,
