Hello all, I have a Luxman M02 Power amp that is rated to 150W per channel @ 8ohms. It is bridgable to 320W mono @8 ohms.
The amp is not rated for 4 ohm operation though I have driven 4 ohm speakers with it, no problems.
My sub driver is an Infinity Kappa 4 ohms, I wanted to use the Luxman bridged to drive the Kappa sub, but have been told that the amp may not be able to handle the current draw of the 4 ohm speaker in bridged mode. This is due to the fact that the Amp will actually be asked to perform as if it was a 2 ohm load in BTL Bridged mode.
I was told that with both channels driving a 4 ohm load that it reduces the the resistance further of each channel, creating this 2 ohm situation.
Can I use this amp?
