If stock amp(s) go out...., a dumb question I know Options

[UTSlickVic]

I have the two stock amp setup (Premium Sound setup). If one or both amps stock amps go out, will I not hear anything coming from the speakers controlled by that particular amp? Second question is: If one of the amps is "starting to go out" (not sure if this is possible) what would the symtomps be?

I'm pretty sure I know the answers, and yes the second Q seems pretty dumb..... Im just kinda bored and I have not posted in a while. And no I'm not having problems with my amps but I did however buy a second "under the front seat" amp ($7 so I figured what the hey) and I was wondering if I would notice a difference if I tried this second one. Meaning maybe this one is in better shape than my current one. Im just to lazy to try.

One amp powers the standard 6 speaker system, and the other amp is added to power the extra 2 speakers in the "Premium Sound Setup". So depending on which amp you unplug (or goes out) you wont hear any sound from the speakers powered by that amp.

EDIT: Oh yeah, also keep in mind that the radio gets it power from the stock main amp connection. Unplug it and the radio wont even turn on.

Umm I thought the which amp controls what is a little bit funckier than that (for the Premium Sound System)...anyways yeah I agree what you said. Good points. Thanks.

For example, if you just use the regular toyota harness, it disconnects you from the amp under your chair and you won't hear anything. I think what you are saying is no amp=low power, but really it is no amp=no sound.

You almost hit the nail on the head, regarding my questions.
What I was speculating was, (Low speaker sound = Almost bad amp), but really it should be (Almost bad amp = Bad Amp = No Speaker Sound)... I guess there is no such thing as an amp starting to go bad? If so, the signs would be pretty apparent, not subtle. Right?
