Use Only 1 Channel of A 2 Channel Amplifier?


Can a person only use one channel of a two-channel amplifier without hurting the amplifier in any way? Do you need to put a "load" (resistor) or something on the one channel not being used? If there is something you can do, does it need to be something to BOTH the output (speaker wire) side and the input side?
I have 3 2-channel amps that I'd like to use in a 5.1 system, but don't want to split them up in case I go to a 6.1 system or something else in the future.
Thanks much, Scott

Thanks for your responses. Sound's like I'd be OK. The amp is a solid state Llano 200-S. Again, greatly appreciated. Scott
