Page 29: Frequently Asked Questions (Faq)
Can I use 4 or 6 Ohm speakers with the AXR100D? The AXR100D is only rated to be used with 8 Ohm speakers and we would not recommend using it with 4 or 6 Ohm speakers. Using the AXR100D with 4 or 6 Ohm speakers could result in the amplifier overheating, which in the long run could damage the unit.
