For that "abuse" thing, I was just kidding. My amp never ran "hot"; it is just a little "warm" actually. If I only connect 1 speaker per channel, my amp cold like ice. Speaking honestly, it is totaly safe doing it this way. As long as the resulting load impedance you connect on each channel is 2 ohms or higher and you don't run the amp into clipping. But, if you're not that experienced with sound systems yet or feel insecure doing it this way, you're better off for now just connecting one speaker per channel.
