This. I would see what the resistance of the loop of speakers measures.

Yes I did. I used a DMM, the resistance was in RMS. I don’t believe i gained anything significant by this alone.
This statement doesn't make sense. Resistance is a DC measurement, RMS is AC. You would simply put the DMM in the lowest ohm setting and read the resistance. If the resistance reads higher than the lowest ohm setting will measure, you have a 70/100 system and you need a PA amp. If the resistance reads lower than 4 ohms you will eventually damage the amplifier.
The previous amp was placed in a "bridged" output state. The manual for the previous amp was very underwhelming and didn't provide if bridging was capable. The previous amp was also rated to a minimum of 4 ohms. When bridging an amplifier, the resistance or load the output section sees is halved. So if the speaker(s) were presenting a 4 ohm resistive load to the amplifier running in a bridged mode, the amp would "see" a 2 ohm load. That is below its rated capabilities & it would run hot & eventually fail.
My mistake. I will make the measurement and reply back.
