Unless the amp is one of those with automatic output compensation (same output regardless of impedance) this is the way it usually works.

In the case of this particular amp, there is something that also need to be considered: although it says that it is bridgeable, it only lists 150W x 1 for 4 ohms and nothing for 2 ohms. So it is not clear that it will be stable at 2 ohms in a mono ouput configuration... so beware.
+1..8 ohms will give me less power..and the amp is not 2 ohm stable in mono..I will probably just get the 2 ohm sws-8's and give them 75 watts each with this amp.
