Into 8 ohms, per the manual: 180 W/channel, stereo 560 W, mono mode (bridged)
Regardless the inflated numbers that all manufacturers publish, why would the number for the mono mode be so much higher than the stereo spec? Shouldn't it be double the rating for stereo?
Thanks,

If the limit is imposed by the supply voltage, not the current capability, then bridging the two amplifiers doubles the possible output voltage, which multiplies the peak power by 4. Evidently the current limit occurs before this full multiple is produced, when bridged.

What kind of amp?
Specifications are derived by many different ways in order to market the amp.
If car audio, hehe, its all marketing.
Typically, if a professional power amp can go down to 2 ohms/ch min and has a max output of 1000W/ch, then it can bridge to 4 ohms min and will see somewhere in around
2000W bridged.Manufacturers do the following to get their "specs".
1 khz input signal QSC Audio specs their amps using 20hz-20khz both channels driven at 120VAC.Typically, if your amp has a minimum impedance handling of 2 ohms, you can only bridge to
I've been in the professional audio field for 10 years, and I love it ;)
-- single channel driven higher voltage on the primaries (check what voltage they test it at).
