Take the average of the power at 2 ohm and 4 ohm to get an approximation of your power out.
Be sure to set the gain.
The purpose of the gain is to match the signal volts RMS coming from the source (CD player, etc.) to the input of the amp.
Unless you know EXACTLY what distortion sounds like, I don't recommend setting this by ear.
Here is a guide that will help you set the gain correctly http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php?file=6d26c621
You'll need a multi-meter (AC voltmeter), Microsoft Excel and a way to burn an audio CD from an MP3.
If you don't have Excel, e-mail me and I'll send you a condensed version sparky3489@yahoo.com
This site http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/setgain.asp will also do the same.

Yes you can because if the amp says 2 ohm stable, it means that the minimum impedance allowed is 2 ohm. A 3 ohm load will work perfectly, but the power will be a little less than it says @ 2 ohms.

Hook that baby up let's shake some windows! More Ohms Means less resistance 0 ohms direct short 1- to-8 ohms is what most voice coils operate at

its a great match, being at 3 ohms your a bit less than 4 so your amp puts out a bit more power, yet more than 2 ohms, so it wont heat up to bad, and should remain extremely stable.
