not only will you lose sound quality, but you will over heat the amp and possibly fry it.
use what is rated... meaning, if the amp can sustain a 4, 6, or 8 ohm load, then use accordingly.
you would not want to burn down the house now would you ?

i would not suggest using car audio for home audio, too much hassle and the ohm's aint set up for either or.... really

prolly that it is 8 ohm rated and can sustain 2 ohms... maybe because it has a DVC built it...

yeah it has a dual voice coil. I have been reding on the net and i found a few websites with diagrams tha show you how you can change the OHMs by the way you wire the two terminals together i have tried that and they work fine so does the amp.

series, parallel, bi-amping, bi-wiring.... its all good stuff, but i would still stay away from running car audio stuff with home theater stuff... its just not a good combo..
