i/s4065 - 4 ohm bridged stable - survive at 3 ohms?

[abuadam 10+ year member]

I have an US Amps I/S 4065 and am debating whether or not to run this for my Z6 comps.

It would have to be BRIDGED and that would be at 3ohms due to the impedance of the Z6 comps...is this possible for the 4ohm stable (in bridged mode) amp or a definite no-go? Thanks

It would probably last some time. But who knows for sure how long. My 8 ohm stereo receiver (Pioneer) in the house lasted about 10 minutes at 1.33 ohm (three 4 ohm subs in parallel). Thats a more drastic step of course then what you're referring to. I figure if you're prepared to purchase a new amp if necessary, then go for it.
