How would you hook up 2 8 ohm woofers with a 4 ohm dual voice coil woofer?

You could with a 4 channel amp. Bridge it to two channels and hook up the two 8 ohm woofers in parallel on the one bridged channel. Then hook the two coils on the dual coil woofer in series with the other bridged channel on the amp.

These are single voice coil. All JL Audio woofers are single voice coil except W6 and the 13w7. ?

What is the role of a magnet in woofers?
The voice coil of a loudspeaker is placed in an annular space within the magnet assembly and is connected to the loudspeaker's paper cone. An audio signal creates a current in the coil and this generates a magnetic field around the coil which reacts with the permanent magnet of the woofer. The coil and cone move in and out like a piston in a car engine depending on the polarity of the audio signal. This is called the 'Motor effect' and is basically a linear motor.
Does a sub-woofer contains motor in it?
No. _________________________ A 'motor' is the section of a speaker that drives the cone. This section consists of the spider, the voice coil and the magnet.
How do you install an Alpine sub-woofer?
Make sure that all voice coil jumpers are connected propertly and then run your wires to the amp and your all set.
Why would a kicker 15 L7 work from time to time or when you push the sub in Is this a blown voice coil?
No, it's not necessarily a blown voice coil. I am actually going through this right now. I found 2 months ago that suggested I take the woofer out of the box and look at it and inspect it. Sure enough, I noticed 1 tiny wire separated in an awkward spot beneath the woofer. I believe by re-attaching this wire the problem will be corrected, mind you I had the same problem as far as pushing it in.
Will running 2 ohm with 4 ohm dual voice coil sub woofers in parallel cause problems to the speakers or sound quality?
The purpose of dual voice coils is to offer more wiring options. To answer your question we would also need to know how many woofers, and therefore how many voice coils, are involved in this equasion. For wiring guides, check http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp. As long as you don't wire at a lower ohm load than your amp can handle [ex. wiring to 1 ohm when your amp is only 2 ohms stable] or wire for more power than your woofers can handle, or allow for too much distortion to be played through the woofer, there should be no damage to your equipment. Distortion will damage your woofer before overpowering will. Ohms are a measurement of resistance to electricity and so the higher the ohm load, the lower the power. If you wire an amp to play speakers at 4 ohms, the speakers will receive less power than if they were being played by the same amp at 2 ohms. Off the top of my head, the Kenwood KAC-9103d pushes 500 watts rms at 4 ohms and 900 watts rms at 2 ohms. The trade off is that while the lower ohm loads offer more power, they come with more distortion as well. Have fun.
How does a speaker work in a circuit?
They will either pull in or push out depending on the polarity of the DC voltage and remain stationary. This is a bad idea as the DC resistance of the voice coil is much less than the AC impedance of the voice coil and it is possible to overheat and burn out the voice coil due to the much higher current the DC voltage can produce in the voice coil compared to the AC voltage that would drive the voice coil in normal operation.
How do you wire Voice coil?
Unless you are an electrician, I would not attempt it, you will need a special tool do wrap it around the axle (The post in which the voice coil moves up and down on). Either have a tech do it for you, or replace the speaker.
What is a voice coil?
a voice coil is the electromagnet that causes a speaker horn to move in response to the electrical impulses received from the amplifier.
When connecting a dual voice coil sub in series what is the proper wiring configuration?
When connecting a dual voice coil sub in series you should use the powered subs.
Can you replace a dual voice coil speaker with a single coil and how do you wire it?
If you are going to replace a dual with a single you need to look up bridging it would be some thing like "{Right +}{Left -}
Does the Legacy Car Audio LW1549 come with dual voice coil?
The Legacy Car Audio LW1549 comes with a 2.5'' High Temperature Dual Kapton Voice Coil.
