Hello M8
You could either wire the 2 coils in Parallel (1 Ohm) or Series (4 Ohm)
You can get some amps that are 1 ohm stable but the do draw a fair amount of current and can run quite hot. Personally I would run it in series and then most amps would run it quite happily and so your choice comes down to budget!
I'm running a pair of W3s from a JL 500/1 which is a fantastic amp but probably a bit much for what you're after, but JL do make some smaller amps which could be a good starting point to compare.
JL 'e series' Monoblock
