"mono" and "bridged" are the same thing. The output that matters on an amp is the RMS value, "peak" is there to help sell the amplifier. Kole is a Chinese-made flea market brand, a division of SPL which is a division of Power Acoustik, so don't expect good, clean power anywhere near those ratings if at all.

These would work:

Diamond Audio D5 300.2

Alpine MRV-T420

Zapco iForce I2100

Each are 2-channel amps bridgable to 300 rms or over @ 4ohm

It would be some sort of crime to push a focal sub with a kole amp.

Almost as bad as telling how hot the chick is to your best buddy after a full 40 of Crown...... find a better amp for your sub.
