Default Amp question involving bridging.

I'm getting a new amp since I finally got my perfect 12.

The stats on the amp are:
» 60 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms
» 90 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms
» 180 watts RMS x 2 bridged output at 4 ohms

I have a question though, it can also be mono, so will it still be 180 watts or do you think It can put out 360 watts rms?

This is the amp in question.

so if its a dual 4 VC how do you suggest wiring it then? 2 ohm or 8 ohm?? the amp isnt 2ohm stable and is gonna put out dick all for power at 8ohms so why do you not recommend it?
