Well, I'd call Axiom on a question like that, but I don't think running 7 of the 8 channels should be any problem. As I recall, one of the key features of the architecture is that the amp can dynamically deliver its total output to any number of channels instantaneously.

The confusion may be that Axiom is unable to manufacture this amp chassis with an odd number of channels because of the layout Jason mentioned.
