[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1693680, member: 555320"] Assuming you purchased the amplifier brand new from PE....keep in mind that the simple act of running the amplifier below rated impedance will void the warranty should anything burn up during your warranty period. Do you have to tell them? No. But manufacturer's aren't stupid, they are pretty decent at deductive reasoning and arriving at conclusions of what caused certain failures in amplifiers...especially the amps they've designed, tested and likely driven to failure on purpose. Send it back. Make him send you a dual 2 or get your money back. Keep in mind, I do like Mark [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] But for your own personal safety.....I wouldn't do it. And just as an FYI....I've driven amps below rated impedance aswell. Most of them didn't like it too well. Lanzar amp bridged into a 2ohm load, protection after 10 seconds of play. Eclipse 34230 that an acquaintance was running into a 4ohm bridged load....fried within a week. Two examples off the top of my head. [/QUOTE]
