Okay so i had made up my mind on which amp i would like to get. I plan on getting the Alpine MRP-M2000
http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/mrp-m2000/

I also will be getting 2 Alpine type R 12" subwoofers in a custom ported box with seperate chambers/ 2.0cu ft in each chamber and the box will be tuned @ 32Hz if this info will help.

Now with this amp which Alpine type R should i get?
*Alpine SWR-1243D
http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/swr-1243d/
OR
*Alpine SWR-1223D
http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/swr-1223d/

With all the different ways of wirign such as parallel..Ect im confused with the "ohms" ive read that 2 ohm subwoofers can be wired as either 1ohm or 4ohms and that 4ohm subwoofers can either be wired at 2ohms or 8ohms...I dont know if this is true that is why im askign you guys.
I want to run them @ 2ohms so im sending each subwoofer 1,000Watts RMS...As the amp specs say-->Per channel into 2 Ohms: (@ 14.4V Ƈ%THD+N, 20Hz - 200Hz) 2000Wx1

So my 2 questions are:
1.) Sould i go with the 4ohwm subwoofers(SWR-1243D) or the 2ohm subwoofers(SWR-1223D)
2.)Does anyone have a Picture/Link of a wiring diagram that is best for this?

Okay well i thought about it...I see choices that i like.

*I can either got with the Alpine MRP-M2000 and wire:
Per channel into 4 Ohms: (@ 14.4V Ƈ%THD+N, 20Hz - 200Hz) 1500Wx1
-This will be over powering them just a little bit.

*Or i can go with the Alpine MRP-M1000 and wire:
Per channel into 2 Ohms: (@ 14.4V Ƈ%THD+N, 20Hz - 200Hz) 1000W x 1
This will be Under powerign them by a little bit.

If i go with the Alpine MRP-M2000 and wire:
Per channel into 4 Ohms: (@ 14.4V Ƈ%THD+N, 20Hz - 200Hz) 1500Wx1
1.) Which subwoofers do i get? SWR-1243D or SWR-1223D?
2.) Which amp wiring diagram will i be going by?
