I have a pioneer 760 watt amp it is bridgeable 2ch 4ohm.
I was running two 15's for three years and during a ICE system upgrade I was getting close to being done and wanted to listen to it. So I bridged one of the subs to my amp which was over powering the sub.(the other sub box had caulk drying.) Which I knew what I was doing but did it anyways. So then the sub blew and now only one of my channels works. I opened it up and couldn't see any physical damage, so I don't know what to do next. I'm thinking the answer is going to be get a new amp, but I hope I can fix it. Any Ideas?

New amp....you probably let the smoke out of one of the electronics parts.

you're not being too specific but you probably blew one side of the amp. Like Josh said, something probably fried. Chances are you wont see anything wrong so use your nose and smell around the board.
