Kickers have always been available in 4 and 8 ohm models. Even the real old ones that said "KICKER" in yellow on the dust cap.

The "safest" way is to just wire them in series. But, that doesn't mean it's the smartest. Get a volt meter and test the nominal impedance, and find out what impedance your amp can handle in bridged mode, then let us know.
