Actually, that is untrue.... NEVER drop below the rated impedence of an
amplifier... It may go good for a bit... But if it says like (2 ohms stable)
then that is the limmit you should be listening too. If it is 6... Don't go
below it. You'll never be able to turn it up loud like that because too much
current would be flowing through the amplifier because of the low resistance.
It is not a good idea to go lower than 6 ohms.... I would not do it. It
shouldn't hurt the speakers at all unless when the amp blew up becasue of too
much current it make bad sounds which damaged the drivers. Anyways... I'll
tell you now... It is not a good idea to use 4 ohm speakers with that amp.
You'll be sure to wreck your amp if not right away. Soon.
