Blown Amp Channels


Quick question from a novice. Some time ago I fried two channels of my five channel power amplifier. I have been using the remaining three channels ever since. Each channel is independent with its own power supply, and so forth. My question is whether the remaining three channels would be likely to operate more efficiently if I disconnect the power supply to the two broken channels? Any input appreciated.

Thanks for the responses. Of course, I'm dissapointed to hear that I can't enhance the performance of the active channels. Would have been a nice upside. As to the fuses, I only wish it was that simple. The first thing I did was check the fuses and replace them. Unfortunately, the first two channels in the power line seem to be dead.
Seems a good point, Brad. Still using the three good channels and will likely disconnect the two that are dead. Can't hurt.
