I just got the Rockford Fosgate P6001BD amplifier. Every where I look it says one channel, 1 x 300 @ 4 ohm and 1 x 600 @ 2 ohm. I get the amp in and there is 2 channels.... So I assumed that I should just bridge the 2 and viola, it works just fine, but I am still perplexed as to why it has 2 channels but it doesn't have any ratings for the individual channels, it only has ratings for a mono load... if you know why that is please let me know.
Thanks!

That amp is a mono (one channel) amp. The reason there is two sets of positive and negative terminals is just to make wiring easier. On that amp, both positive terminals are connected together inside the amp, and so are both negative terminals. It's so that you don't have to try and cram a lot of sub cable into one terminal. It makes for a cleaner and easier install. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions feel free to email me.

No... That is a mono amp, as opposed to stereo. Yes it has L +R inputs, and two speaker outputs, but it combines your signal into mono so your dual voice coil sub, or dual sub speaker box can optimize the output. Example: You are listening to a track which has the base on the left or right channel only, the amplifier will combine the channels and offer you the maximum base by playing it through both channels. Sub base is considered non-directional so the combined signals are not considered to detract from the stereo experience.

It's still a mono amp. Both the (+) on the output are the same potential as well as the (-) terminals. This is just to make wiring parallel easier.
