A quote from the manual of my power amps:
Rated Power Output
(per channel) ............................................ 350WRMS into 8 ohm The 350 has been designed around the industry standard 8 ohm load. The 350 delivers a staggering 350WRMS continuously into 8 ohm loads and 600WRMS into 4 ohm loads. The 350 will also handle complex and 2ohm loads with stability and ease.
Short-Circuit/Overdrive Protection
This system senses if there is a short circuit across the 350 output terminals and disconnects the output to avoid amplifier damage. It also senses if the 350 is being driven outside acceptable operational parameters. An example of this would be driving a 1 ohm
speaker at very high levels.
