[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 121403, member: 126"] Re: 2 ohm stable residential stereo amp? The "auto-match" transformers may be too professional of a fix ($$), but would be ideal. "IF" you can live with both speakers being on at the same time and the christmas tree light wiring, that means one bad speakers kills sound from both, wire them in series. The easy option is just leave them in parallel and let it fry. The amp will not current limit at low/moderate levels. That said if the customer tries to play it loud, the amp can current limit, and can overheat. If the amp is well designed it will only thermal off, if not well designed it could fail prematurely. If you don't trust the owner to be disciplined about the volume control, wiring them in series will be kinder to the amp. JR [/QUOTE]
