anyone try a samson amp bridged into a 4ohm load? (1 Viewer)

I know according to samson you should only run their amps bridged with an 8ohm load.

But is this just a precautionary thing or are they really not able to do it?

Trying to draw a 4 ohm load off a bridged amp that is not specifically able to support it is asking for trouble. A bridged 8 ohm amp means each amp is already drawing a 4 ohm load. Running it at 4 ohms means each amp is drawing a 2ohm load which is more than most amps can handle unless specifically designed for it.

Thanks

i kind of figured as much, but being that all the QSC amps, which are similar in price (at least the RMX line) are stable bridged into 4 and in some cases 2 ohm loads, that the samson's may be able to do it as well.
