none, it's the same thing

all bridged is doing is making it from a multi-channel amp(2,3,4 channel) and combining all the separate out puts of each into one single output basically turning it into a mono channel amp

its just more efficient money wise. If you get a mono amp you can only run it at half power (4 ohms) where as a 2 channel makes full power bridged at 4 ohm. Plus the fact that most mono amps are more expensive to begin with.

otherwise it doesnt matter. Just look for that 250w at 4 ohms

i would disconnect the stock sub regardless...if you go to the track you shouldn't be worried about having bass. plus if you remove the stock sub that will save u some unnecessary weight and gives you more trunk space. try to test fit the sub in the trunk before you go about spending anymore money because it really is a tight space to work with.
