Blew one sub and wondering about it

Ok so one of my 10" alpine r's blew and i dont have the money to buy a new one right away, so would it hurt the other sub if i kept running it with one broken and unhooked, and not changing the wiring at all, the amp is a rockford bd1000.1

not unless the other sub changed the ohm load. like if you wired the subs together then obviously there will be a difference. but since it looks like you have a monoblock then im pretty sure taking a sub away will increase the ohm load. it will work fine, but you will have less bump.

Well if one of them in unwired that means the other is getting all the power. so set your gains and what not accordingly but i dont see how it would do harm...
