Unused channels on a multi channel amp


Is it possible to run a multi channel amp without using all the channels without causing damage? For example, can a five channel amp be used to biamp a pair of stereo speakers and not use the fifth channel? Would you have to connect a speaker to the unused channel to present it with a load? Would you have to cap off the inputs in some way? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

David

Just remember that any channel with signal input to it must have a speaker hooked up. If you can turn the gain down on the unused channels is may help alleviate stress on the power supply???
