TPA3111D1: About minimum load resistance

Tool/software:

Hello,

My customer is asking minimum load resistance in TPA3111D1.

According to Absolute Maximum Ratings(datasheet page 4), minimum load resistance is 3.2ohm.

If it is less than 3.2ohm, what kind of damage could cause in device ?

According to bellow thread, minimum load resistance is described.

"Lowering the load resistance to 5R may increase the current flowing through the amplifier and increase power dissipation,

which may overheat the device. Moreover, lower impedance loads can make the amplifier less stable and degrade THD performance."

Similarly with the TPA3111D1, it may increase the current flowing through the amplifier and increase power dissipation

and may overheat the device. Finally, thermal protection will be activated.

My understanding is correct? Could you please give your opinion on this case?
