2ohms will always be better for bass than 4ohm. Ohm's are a term used to describe the resistance of electricity, so the less resistance you have, the more power to the subs, which in turn gives your subs better performance.(bass)
You have a 1channel amp which I'm pretty sure is 1ohm stable so running your 2 l5's in parallel will actually give you a 1ohm setup.
 
i am going to buy 2 kicker l5s for my trailblazer...i already have a zx1500.1 amp to power them i just need to figure out at what ohms i want to put it at... iv heard people tell me buy 2ohm speakers and some people tell me to buy 4 ohm speakers...i just dont know what whould be better for me...i want loud, crisp, hard bass.,,,

Thanks

now a days you may have trouble finding two ohms

everybody thinks 2 ohms is best because it is the biggest impediance and has the least amount of resistance but they tell you this not knowing that 2 ohm speakers don't exist anymore. they but hard to find

four ohms is plenty. you should use other deciding factors. ohms are not very important. 2-4 for subs, 4--8-16 for anything else.
