    problem with amp

    I have a phoenix gold xs2500 and I dont know whats wrong with it. My right channel works fine, but my left channel doesnt work. and when I bridge it, it works. (R+ and L-) with the left channel not working properly, could this affect the wattage when bridged? and what could cause this problem?
