I remembered stumbling across these pictures years ago, so I'll just answer your question either way... 
If your amp can handle a 1 Ohm bridged load, get a 2 Ohm DVC sub and wire as follows:
If your amp can handle a 4 Ohm bridged load, get a 2 Ohm DVC and wire as follows:
If your amp can handle a 2 Ohm bridged load, get a 4 ohm DVC and wire as follows:
And finally, there is the option for an 8 Ohm load using a 4 ohm DVC driver:

JL Audio > Kicker.
That's all I have to contribute here. The other guys are right, though -- find out your amp's minimum stable impedance and use that.
If you like sound quality more than SPL, consider using something higher than the minimum.

It's a USAcoustics 2200F. The amp itself is probably 5 years old actually.
Yet JL doesn't have a single item that will suit my application for space requirements and power handling.

Go with dual 2 ohm.
Have fun!

Just trust me Jake! 
Heck yeah 
I love this amp. Still kicking after all these years is right... and come to think of it, mine is probably about the same age as yours. I first had it in my K5 Blazer when I was 19 years old I think... Which would make it 9 years old. 
It's worked hard pushing a variety of subs over the years.
BTW, I'm getting the box for this L7 from you.
It's going to be for my Colorado Crew Cab... the down firing version.
