It depends 1/ how loud, 2/ how big an acoustic it has to drive. Suck it and see, if it is struggling it will let you know, it wont sound very good. Also if you run the amp on its side you can check the base plate for heat, if it gets "ouch" then it is definitely not a happy little bunny and I would switch it off.
