A little punctuation would be nice, this forum is not a text message!

The Soundstream web site has your owner's manual.  HERE.

It is rated down that low, but it won't handle that low of an impedance.  I tried 1 ohm once on mine and blew both 25 amp fuses on the amplifier.

I agree with Steven, 2 ohm mono was pushing it with this amp, even with it's rather large power supply and internal cap bank. If I remember correctly, it was 125w rms x 2 and 500w rms x 1 for the 4 ohm ratings. One of the last good Soundstream amplifiers. Keep that amp whatever you do (or donate it to the museam of car audio in forbidden's basement).
