Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker


Does running this amp in bridge mode mean each channel will see half the impedance i.e 2 Ohm each when connected to a 4 Ohm speaker.  If so will this cause a problem when the speaker dips to 3 or 2 ohms?. 

Anyone running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode with low impedance speakers?.

Yes, bridged amps see half the impedance of the speakers! So the sound quality may suffer. And the amp may run too hot! I don't recommend doing this! Sound quality is always better driving a higher impedance! Better to run two mono amps - one per speaker. Or one channel of each amp into one speaker.
