Please note that the minimum impedance load for single Cadence Type RS amplifiers is 1 ohm.
If you choose to mono bridge two RS amplifiers into on load, the impedance should not be lower
than 2 ohm.
Lower impedance loads will cause overheating and may damage the amplifiers.
Do not use different type and different impedance speakers in the series and/or parallel
combinations shown, as unequal power sharing and acoustic outputs will result.
