The A1400-8 actually pushes about one horsepower (745W) per channel in two-channel mode on a 15A supply and even higher on a 20A supply without clipping , distortion, compression, or heating up like a toaster. And, you can even put it sideways in a cabinet!

Good point John. Like Jason said Axiom is being conservative with the specs. For people (like me)
who have 20 amp circuits the Axiom amp should be renamed an A-2000-8. However any one channel is limited to 1440W by the protection circuit. If running all channels under the same loads, you should get close to 1000w in stereo mode or 633w in 3 channels, 500W into 4 channels etc. In reality most of the power will be dynamically allocated to whatever channel requires more.
