why dont you just get 2 of the same speakers, Im guessing your using 2 different speakes, I dont see why it wouldnt work, but one will be getting 1/2 the power that the other one is, and it will never sound right

Front 2 channels are bridged to the 13ws's for 2 ohm mono, and the rears are bridged to a 27kx for 4 ohm mono?

Dunno, amp is shutting down from low voltage?

Better Idea

Run the amp as a 3 channel
channel 1 and 2 for the focal WS's and bridge the 3rd and 4th for the 27KX
and no it shouldnt be a problem, the 2 channels should run seperately with seperate gains, and 8ohm is no problem, just 1/2 the power

Maybe it is not stable in 2ohm bridged? not many amps are
