Cool....
The L7's come in DVC 2 ohma dn 4 ohm. It depends on what load you want to put the amp under, and what it's most stable power output is.
With two DVC woofers, here is the amp load.

DVC 2 ohm woofers can be done on an amp load of 2 ohm or 8 ohm.

DVC 4 ohm woofers can be done on an amp load
of 1 ohm and 4 ohm.

If that amp is stable to a 1 ohm load, get DVC 4 ohm woofers.
