can the arc 2500-xxk run fine at 3 ohms?

I searched and couldn't really find the real answer. I am gonna say yes but don't want to be wrong. the online manual says its good at 4 ohms and not recommended a 2 so what about 3. it would be used to run a 13w7 thanks

You should be fine.

The only time your amp will see a steady 3ohm load is when you arent playing music and when you play tones.

Make shure you raise the 2500 up so the fan can pull in some cool air to keep the amp from heating up. I ran mine hard for about 5 min and it was pretty toasty.
