Really depends on the song.
Impedance is dependent on frequency. At some frequencies your amp may be seeing your nominal load or possibly less, at others it may be seeing 5x that.

To put this in perspective 3000W is the large burner on your electric range when it's glowing orange. It's astounding how people seem to think that somehow loudspeaker manufacturers can somehow make 150g of 22 gauge aluminum wire hold that without issue by just drilling a couple holes in the pole vent or whatever. I think the industry itself is as much at fault as anybody for not trying to explain any of this, but at the end of the day Boss 4K still probably out-sells SALT 4k by a ratio of 10,000:1.

Or in other words, if it sounds good it is good, but when your coil starts to smell funny turn it down a bit.
 
Can you run me through what files for music you're using, the bit rate, everything in between the song and the amp?
DJR Mp3s via Bluetooth from my Oneplus 7T on Foobar2000 to my Android Oreo head unit. The output filter on the amp cleans up most stuff, I really don't think there's an issue with my media or how I'm playing it. I adjusted my low pass filter and it's a lot better now.

Try a wired-only connection. Idk if I’m old school, but I don’t understand why so many people run such complicated signal setups. I just ran MP3’s at 256-320 bitrate from a radio straight to the amp. Worked very well. Just an iPod plugged into my radio, and my radio sent it straight to the amp.

I see a lot of people running an unnecessary amount of DSP’s and similar processors, and they don’t need them, really.

Just something to think about. I would personally never use Bluetooth for a system like yours. You’re hoping that signal doesn’t become distorted while transferring through the air, essentially. Even with HD Bluetooth or things like that, it doesn’t change how the technology fundamentally works. Nothing beats the conductivity of hard wiring, IMO.

Amen to that
I find anything that has a second volume control on it ends up losing sound quality
I will sometimes use use wired car play but 99% of the time I just use flash drives

You're not going to know until you test with a meter. Typically even carpeting a box as opposed to painting is going to lose a few tenths.
