[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 34056, member: 34"] Re: An amplifier getting hot due to spacing or clipping? Running an amp 6 ohms bridged is the same as running 3 ohms stereo, which is very close to 2 ohms. Especially considering that there may be impedance dips lower than nominal somewhere in the speakers' response, you are teetering on the brink of certain amp destruction. Maybe. I'd switch that amp with another amp doing the same thing and see if the problem follows the amp or the load. [/QUOTE]
