okay if my speakers are bridged down to 6 ohms and my amp is stable at 2ohms. is my amp working harder? is this good for my amp? is it cutting down the wattage? my amp is a rockford fosgat p500-2 if that helps. speakers dont ask LOL

Running speakers at a higher OHM load than what the amp is stable at means more resistance through the speakers and less work on the amp. It's when you run your setup at 1ohm when your amp is 2ohm stable you should worry.

The amp would produce less wattage or at least the subs would see less wattage at a higher ohm load. It is perfectly fine for the amp and the amp will be more effiecent.

And what do you mean your speakers are bridged down to 6ohms? What speakers are they and how are they wired?
