Although extremely low impedance speaker loads will not damage the amplifier, for stereo mode,
we recommend speaker loads of 2, 4 or 8 ohms; for bridged mono mode, 4 or 8 ohms. (Note: In
bridged mono mode, the amplifier sees only half of the speaker impedance.)
NOTE remember that we are not defying the laws of Physics! IF you decide to connect ANY
Coustic amplifier into a bridged mono load BELOW 4 ohms, Physics dictates that current draw
doubles! This is not too big a problem with the 240SE or 400SE. But with the 600SE this is
DANGEROUS. The current draw could be as great as 200 amps (peak). Make sure you wire
your system properly.
With the 600SE we recommend ONLY a 4 gauge wire OR larger!
