4 channel running different ohms, safe or waiting for disaster?

[ThxOne Premium Member]

Silly question here. If I decided to run 4ohm tweeters off channels 1-2 then ran 2ohm mids off 3-4... will the amp even care? Since ohm loads change constantly while music is playing this shouldn't affect anything right? Or am I missing something? I ask because I don't care so much for the way these CDT tweeters (2ohm) sound and I may run my Image Dynamics or my DD tweeters. Both are 4ohm sets. My CDT mids are dual 4ohm voicecoils so... 2 ohms. All actively ran of course.

The amplifier shouldn’t care. On most 4 channels, the only thing shared between all 4 channels is the power supply. 1 & 2 are otherwise completely separate from 3&4.

Nah won't care, I run 2 ohm on the one set of channels right now and 4 ohm on the other.

I’m running 2 ohm midbass, 6 ohm midrange and 4 ohm tweeters. Amp does fine and barely gets warm.

I figured it is doable. Ok then, time to mount the tweeters back in the A-Pillars!!
