I am installing 2, Dual Voice Coil Solobaric L7's,4 ohms subs. What is the difference if I run them at 4 ohms or at 2 ohms? Is one better than the other? They will be running of a 600.1 kicker amp.

Well, with 2 Dual 4 OHM Subs, 2 OHMS is not an option. It's either gonna be 4 or 1 OHM.

Actually you could run it at 8 which would be pointless, 4 which you could bridge on the amp, you best option or 1 which if you bridge this on the amp it would not hold would go into protection or fry, the 600.1 is kinda a small amp to be pushing 2 l7's in my advice as well

If I get A 1200.1 amp and run them @ 1ohm will my 140amp alternator in my car handle the amp? The subs are 10 inch L7's rated at 600 watts each.
