    Magnavox 9302 to run 4ohm speakers

    A few of questions on this... 1. Is there a possibility of damaging my amp running a 4ohm load? 2. How would this increase the wattage of my amp (about 10-12 watts now). 3. Is there an upgrade that could be done to make this safer and better sounding (Edcors, rewiring, et al)? Thank you...

    How do I know if you need more wattage?
