Are the 15's single voice coil? 2 or 4 OHM? Those Kickers may all be single voice coil...not sure...but if possible use a 2 OHM load.
If they have dual voice coils, with dual 4 OHM voice coils, you dont have the option to run 2 of them from the same amp at a net 2 OHM load..
If they have a single 2 OHM voice coil you can run the pair at net 4 or 1..so, if the amp is 1 OHM stable, do 1

2 subs dual 4 ohm voice coils will give you 1, 4, or 16 ohms
2 subs dual 2 ohm voice coils will give you .5, 2, or 8 ohms
2 subs single 4 ohm voice coils will give you 2 or 8 ohms
2 subs single 2 ohm voice coils will give you 1 or 4 ohms
The amplifier is 2 ohm stable, so 2 subs dual 2 ohm will be your best bet.
The difference between 2 and 4 ohms power wise is that 2 ohms will give you the full 2500 watts, if you double the ohms to 4, the power will be cut in half (1250 watts).
