PYRAMID SERIES 2-OHM OPERATION This unit was designed to operate efficiently at loads down to 2 ohms. What this means is that you can do an installation of FOUR-8 ohm speak- ers per channel using parallel wiring or TWO-4 ohm speakers per channel in parallel. When operating at 2 ohms, the amplifier to increase their power output by approximately 50 percent. The current draw of the amplifiers will also increase by about the same as amount. Be sure that you have enough current to run the amplifier
