I only recently found aout about this 2 ohm deal. I have been running 2 bins daisy chained off the bridge mono channel for over 3 three years. Now and again the amp will overheat and go into protection but I thought I was just overdriving it. Now it turns out I have been running each amp into 2 ohms.

Although this is counter-intuitive you would actually be better off with two 8 ohm bins running off EACH channel in stereo mode with a 4 ohm load on each channel than two 8 ohm bins daisy chained off the bridge channel effectively putting each channel under a 2 ohm load ???

Would the extra cone area of option one produce more volume, or the 2 ohm power of option 2 ???

The more I learn the more questions I have !!!
