Got a new amp

Can someone tell me if I can bridge a MTX Thunder 152 amp to a 2 ohm load?
Its a 2 channel amp, MTX says it will work bridged to a 4 ohm load.
Will it blow if I hook it to a 2 ohm load?

If MTX says its stable to a minimum bridged load of 4 ohms.. DO NOT go below that. It MAY not initially damage your amp.. but it is not designed to operate at 4 ohms minimum bridged and will cause nothing but problems and seriously shorten the life of the amp.

If you drop it to 2 ohms bridged.. you're forcing an increase in the current output of the amp and the internal components are not rated to handle the increased current draw.

What he said ^^^ don't do it unless you want to buy another amp in the near future.
