I need some opinions.  Which is the better way to go?  In a Dodge Spirit, I have an Alpine 9825 HU, a Power Accustik Fire and Ice amp (I know, low quality) and a Sony 10 inch sub in a small (.70 cu in) sealed box. I'm not keeping the amp and sub but right now its ok,  rear view mirror jumps on bass notes and trunk rattles.  Would it be better to go with a stronger 2 channel amp bridged or a monoblock amp?

It's only a single voice coil 4ohm sub.  Very simple system

With a 4-ohm load you can use any amp you like, just choose one with power output into 4-ohms that does not exceed your sub's RMS rating.
