So much to say...
Was it installed by a shop(old stuff)...Im assuming you are going to install the new equipment...? I would suggest letting a shop at the very least set the amp's gains...What size power wire do you currently have...? Remember the box is JUST as important as the subs...! You can put as many speakers as you want as long as it stays equal to or above what the amp can handle(ie...the wiring of the subs...2ohm stable etc...) Also dual 4ohm speakers usually give you more wiring options to achieve the desired load......I will take a look at your amps specs...M.E.C.P & First-Class
Go slow and drink lots of water...Procrastinators' Unite...Tomorrow!

You got your first response the same day you posted your original question, it's been less than a day since your second post and less than an hour since your third. Considering today is Sunday, most members that can help are probably enjoying their day off. Patience and a positive attitude go a long a long way.

Q: How many subs can i hook up to that amp?
A: As many as you want as long as the final impedance does not exceed the limits of the amp.
Q: does it matter if there dual or single voice coil?
A: No and yes. You will want to use the same ohm subs. You won't want to mix ohm or single and dual. Which you use will matter on how many subs you use and to get you the desired ohm load.
Q: Would i want to run dual or single voice coils?
A: Depends on the amounts of subs and desired ohm load.
Q: would that amp run like 4 12inch hifonic subs that are 300rms a peace?(without cliping) ------would only cost 120.00 shipped on ebay for 4 of them.
A:Clipping - Audible distortion that occurs when continuous power-to-peak power capabilities (headroom) are exceeded. "Turn it down!" This has nothing to do with how many speakers are hooked to it. If the subs will put you to an acceptable ohm load, sure they can be used.
Q:How many subs can this amp run without clipping?
A: Again, this has nothing to do with how many speakers are hooked to it. This has to do with gain settings for the most part. Either cranking up the head unit too high, gain to the amp or another source, Even an over recorded track its self. As long as impedance is correct and within safe range of the amp you will have no clipping from how many speakers are on it.
Q: My buddie had this amp with 2 dual voice coil 12" alpine r`s then when he tryed to hook up 2 more tens ..when you turn up the amp with would cut out? (maybe wasnt wired right?)
A: I will bet you a $100 dollars he has it wired to too low of an impedance for the amp.
Q: what you guys think..?
A: I think you need to start with a little research. Ohms law would be a good place to start. Also enclosure volume will play a huge part in how many you can/should use. 2 subs in a correct enclosure can easily beat 4 in an enclosure too small and/or built poorly.
I'll take 3 days to get a GOOD answer, over 3 crappy answers in couple hours anyday!

2 L7 15s would work well in that space. Around 5 cu.ft net each and would leave room for good port area and volume. You wont want the hifonics subs. There total crap. I had a guy in my class that went full fart box and decided to move up a class to get away from my daily street beat setup. BTW im thinking of selling my Kicker setup and doing something new this year. I have 2 '09 L7 15s(almost new. Only used a couple of times not even broke in yet) and 2 '08 ZX1000.1s. Let me know if you are interested. I was doing 149.x db on TL with it. Peaking at 48Hz in a Navigator. Everyone that heard it said it was one of the cleanest setups they had ever heard. Loud and clean. Compared to your old subs and BP enclosure im sure you would love them.
