neither one.
you want a mono amp, 2 ohm stable.

more efficient with a mono amp=less current draw. |

you have a single sub with dual 4 ohm coils
this means the sub will present a 2 or 8 ohm load to the amp.
a bridged stereo amp is only stable down to 4 ohms most times.
if you have a mono amp it'll be class D, which means less current draw for the same amount of power as mentioned above, and more importantly, it'll be at it's peak output and efficiency at the presented 2 ohm load from your sub.
