Default Easy amp question for a tech sav

Basically I have an amp and sub set up to the first two channels on the EQ. My question: If I disconnect my two mini subs, will the monsoon amp still be feeding the same amount of energy at any given sub level, leaving it unavailible for the speakers/tweeters? It seems like since the resistance and connection aren't there that they couldn't suck energy, but my knowledge of electronics is only elementary and I'm not as good as I want to be yet with amps and circuts. Also, you guys know any kick *** places I could knowledge up? I would like getting educated in addition to this simple answer, I like bein on top of it

not sure either what you're asking..

sounds like you either want to know:

(1) If you disconnect a channel, is that power used on another channel

or

(2) If you disconnect a channel, is that power still produced and just not used

Either of those correct?

anyways... here's a great link for educating yourself:
