Yes you could use the other 2 channels of the amp. Make sure you use the High Pass crossover in the amp. What exactly is the problem with the speakers? Tweeters quit, or you are blowing the woofers of the speakers?

Yes you will want to turn the low pass filter off. But without having a High Pass filter, I really do not think you need to use the amp. Does your radio have a built in crossover? As stated earlier, turning it down will be your only option.
