I Am So Mad

After doing countless hours of research, I purchased profile ca600 amp to go with my jl 10w6. I have not yet installed it yet, but now apparently the reps at cruthfield tell me it will damage the amp to use this sub with it, even though TWO of their reps told me it would work initially. Well now, yesturday, the rep said it wouldn't, and after calling again for a second opinion, the next rep confirmed that it won't work. I am basically pissed because it is now too late to return the amp. Apparently the amp is NOT stable for anything less than 4 ohms, while the ACTUAL warning on the amp says just to not bridge it at 2. I was going to bridge it in parallel to bring the 6 ohm dual coil 10w6 down to a 3 ohm load. The rep said that the reason that a 3 ohm disclaimer is not placed on the amp is because only jl makes 6 ohm amps, and they just didnt bother. Fuck.

Check out these specs, do you guys think I will end up damaging or shortening the amp's life?
