The L7s come in 2ohm Dual Voice Coil and 4ohm DVC. To make 2ohms from one sub, you need to get the 4ohm DVC. You wire the terminals in parallel and you'll have 2ohms.

since your amp is 2ohm mono stable. if you will be running (1) speaker, you need to get the dual 4ohm speaker, parallel it down to 2ohm and there you go.

So if I want that amp(2 ohm) I need to get the 4ohm speaker.
