The AWT15x is part of Audiobahn's Linear Compression line, 2ohm DVC 3000RMS
You would wire in parallel (+ to + and - to -) to get a 1ohm total load

I still cant upload pics, so here's a link to show how the sub should be wired (use the Top picture with (1) 2ohm DVC wired into 1ohm)...
1 0hm load

The Memphis 1000D is a 1ohm stable mono amp. When you wire your sub like shown above, you will have 1 + and 1 - to connect to the + and - of the amp.

It’s a dual 2 ohm sub so you will want to wire it in parallel for a 1 ohm load https://www.audiobahninc.com/tech/wiring/parallel_parallel_dual_2.pdf

By the way that is a nice sub, but some words of advice you will need a much larger amp to push that beast.
