Some manufacturers like to call or label their amps as monoblocks, whereas others refer to them as one channel amplifiers.
As a general rule of thumb they are one in the same.

is your sub a dual voice coil. If so you will be able to run either 2 or 4 ohm. If you want to run you sub at 2 ohm you will have to make sure your amp is 2ohm stable, which most amps these days are. running your sub at 2ohm simply means there is less resistance in the circuit, this will also means your amp will feed more power but will also create more heat. Mono means 1 channel, you can also buy a two channell and bridge two channels into one.

The guys who sell the stuff will know what they are talking about but they may also want to sell you more expensive gear than what you need.

Have a look at www.caraudioaustralia.com , this site has a wealth of knowledge on all things car audio. you may be able to do a bit of research on this forum and get some unbias advice.

Hope this helps
