Yeah, that wiring would get you 2 ohms, so 500 watts per sub. Like havik said, those subs peak at 1200 watts and you know they're underrated. Of course, I've seen plenty to indicate that RF amp are underrated too. On the cardomain page, some guy said that it's probably pushing more like 1150 at 2 ohms. Doesn't really matter, just pay attention to your gain level and keep it low enough that you don't get distortion from your subs. You're far better off running a big amp at 80% capacity than a smaller one at 95% or 100%. The second scenario shortens the amp's life and clips the signal to the subs, shortening their life too.
Think of all those "cool" guys next to you at traffic lights that "race" us. I go and don't go over 3500 rpm while he's revving it real high and shifting all crappy...whose engine and tranny are working harder? Go with the big amp.
Oh, and when I say not to turn the gain all the way up, you won't be sacrificing volume for that. If your amp can put out 1000 watts but you really only want to use 600 watts of that power, putting the gain about 60% would put about 600 watts onto that channel, driving the subs to what they want, making them as loud as a 600 watt amp at full power but with much cleaner sound.
