Stress on an amplifier

John McCourmik Bronze Member Username: Shackashacka Post Number: 40 Registered: Mar-05	Posted on Saturday, April 09, 2005 - 03:57 GMT Okay, im ordering my power acoustik amp tonight...my only question is this if i run these @ 2ohms a piece for a combined wattage of 280rms x2 channels...will this put a lot of stress on the amplifier. The amp is 2 ohms stereo stable...but i mean will this like ruin the amp quicker or does 20hms stereo mean that its built for that??
