The weak point in that amp is pretty much the same as any amp; the fets & toroid.
The parts that determine how low of an impedance you can run at are the output transistors. From the looks of things, and without knowing the make/model of the fets, I'd say that's a high voltage amp. You have 4, probably bipolar, transistors per channel and a somewhat weak power supply for high current use. If it was a high current (low impedance) capable amp, you'd normally see more output transistors and the power supply toroid would be grounded directly to the mosfets. ******* up that much current through the traces on a board is what sent a lot of the old Soundstream amps to the dumpster.
I wouldn't trust anyone to upgrade that amp. If they say they can, they're lying. It's just not beefy enough. Older amps tend to have been WAYYY overbuilt and their power supplies had no problem with upgrades. You'd have to swap out all the switching devices for something that is made for high current useage and you'd have to modify the power supply so that the board doesn't melt. Basically, you'd be paying more in mods than the amp is worth while being left with an inferior product.
That's not a bad looking amp. It isn't a power house, but it probably sounds OK. I'd leave it alone.
