AMP rated at 4 ohm bridged, need to run it under 4 ohm..

[bginvestor 10+ year member]

I would like to add a center stage component to an existing two way component system which will bring down the ohm to ~3.6 ohm.

The JL XD700/5 amp is rated at 4 ohm bridged. Am I asking for trouble running at 3.6 ohm under the manufacture's rating of 4 ohm? The speaker manufacture recommends to go forward with this....

Any expert advice? thx

3.6 wont hurt a 4 ohm amp... with box rise, frequency response, and everything into consideration... your amp wont go below 4ohm very often
