What happens if you wire 2 svc 4 ohm subs to a 2 ohm load and bridge it to an amp that is only 2 ohm stable non bridged?

it will be very hard on the amp. or may result in blowing the amp

or the amp will continuously get hot and turn off

edit: if it has a thermal switch

well the amp still turns on but no sound will come out but the fuses are ok does that mean anything?

may have blown the outputs. RCA's are hooked up right?

Yeah the rcas are still the way they were before the problems. Is this fixable without sending it somewhere or should the new amp search begin?

So I just went out and hooked the subs back up in a 4 ohm load and they played for about a minute then stopped.
