Should not have any problem disconnecting the (analog) speaker wires
because it decreases the load. Do not short them though. I did that to
my home stereo and nothing bad happened.

not a good idea for the outputs when lets say it
gets reconnected at the wrong time while engergy
is still generated on the output.

That's not true. For a solid state amplifier with no output
transformer, regardless of where the output voltage may lie,
connecting the load will only let whatever current its [the load's]
resistance will allow out of the amplifier's output.

Since the output stage of the amplifier is essentially a voltage
source, its output voltage won't change whether there's a load
connected to it or not, within the limits designed into the amp, of
course.
