I installed a plye1600watt amp to 2 500watt legacy and 1 500 watt speaker now the problem is after like about 3 months later he comes back saying one of his speakers wasn't working so I took a look at it two channels or working and the other two or not what can be the problem any explanation will be appreiciated.thanks

Neither Pyle nor Legacy are brands known for longevity....  Sounds like it is simply dead.

so did you install this amp to 3 subs total???    kinda confused,   what impedance was each side of the amp ap, assuming it is a 4 channel amp?     test the speaker on another amo see if its the sub,    if not the sub then its probably the amp, if it is tell the guy to buy another cheap amp,   they cost what $2?
