RA20 & RA40

NOTE!

The amplifiers are two (2) ohm stable. In stereo
mode it´s possible to load the amplifier down to two
ohm on each channel.
In mono bridge mode it´s possible to load with one
four ohm fullrange speaker or subwoofer.
(In bridge mode the amplifier sees a four ohm
speaker as a two ohm load).
