Left channel not working

[mastadulog 10+ year member]

Hey whats up guys, I have a power acoustike lt620.2 and a dayton dvc 12" and a couple of weeks ago my left channel died. I opened up my box to see if all the wires were intact and they were, so I went on to my rca's. The problem was originally with the right channel, so I took the rca's out of my amp and switched them around and the problem moved to the left channel. The sub will move if I push the interconnect into the amp with a little force and if i force it to the side a little bit, but if i let go it'll just die out. Is my amp dead?

Since the problem was on the right side, and moved to the left side when you switched them around, i would have to say its the interonnects.

if it swaps channels when you swap the RCA's... what do you think it is?

turned out to be the amp. i fed the two different channels to the same input jack and whatever channel was connected to the jack would be the problem channel. i also got a couple really loud thumps during a song which was kind of weird. oh well, time to upgrade!
