I have two infinity kappa perfect 12 here are the specs. http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=2929
and this memphis amp http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=373 . what ohms would should I wire this setup to get a total of 1000 watts

Your amp is 1 Ohm stable so wire the subs parallel for 2 Ohms each and parallel to the amp for a net 1 Ohm load and you will have the maximum power from your setup..here is a link to the wiring diagram:

subs need to have each vc wired in series then parallel to the amp for a 2ohm load i
f you wire both subs parallel the net load will be .5 ohm and is only stable with high current amps and the memphis amp is not capable of that ohmic load
swez or one of the other golds can probably explain this better

These subs are 4+4 DVC's. When wired in full parallel as mentioned by JamesP, this will net a solid 1 ohm load which this Memphis amp can handle and delivers a solid 1000 Wrms.
This is a nice match! Are you planning to go sealed or ported on the enclosure?

Kirchatndftbl, the specs on the Kappa Perfect subs do not state that they are 4+4 DVC. They do tell you that they can be wired for 2 or 8 Ohm impedance, which tells you that they are 4+4 DVC.
Looking at the wiring diagrams you read the voice coil configuration for various subs and the ohmic values given for each particular wiring solution.
The only way to get a .5 Ohm net load from a pair of dual voice coil subs is by parallel wiring the voice coils of a pair of 2+2 DVC subwoofers then parallel wiring both to the amp.
Even though you are parallel wiring the the 2, 4 Ohm voice coils for a net 2 ohm load total for each sub, you still read the ohmic values for the sub configuration....in this case 4+4 DVC
The link in your post(series voice coils, parallel subs) will net a 4 Ohm load since you read the ohmic value from the 4+4 DVc row.

i miss read the specs on the subs when i looked at the page

I'm probably gonna go ported with this setup
