Your charging system is going to need upgrade if you go with the 1000/1. The stock charging system will not support a 1000/1 under abusive conditions. If you do not want to upgrade the alt, go with the 500/1.

also... if your jumping for the jl route... and want a 1000.1 also jump to the 13w7.. that way you can run a 1.5 ohms and beat extra hard.. also... my recomondation... cause i just built one for a customer... the dual slot ported box for these subs is AMAZING... makes it beat incredibly hard...

agreed with JLTD: under hard running, your alt will eventually fry... you might be able to get away with 2 or 0 big 3 upgrade and a better battery....
tweetertc: The 13w7 is a DUAL 1.5 ohm... you'll have a choice of .75 ohm or 3 ohm mono... with the JL 1000/1, 1-4 ohms will all have the same power...

Look here
http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_s...p?series_id=10
It says Dual 1.5ohm....
I'm kinda thinking it's actually just a Dual 3 ohm internally wired in series to make only a single terminal with a 1.5ohm load present there... not positive though.. either way, with a 1000/1 you'd put the same power to it from 1.5-4 ohms...

Won't help enough.... caps are good for SLIGHT transient peaks... a 1000/1 at full load will drain a cap in a second (figuratively speaking) and you'll be pulling your battery down quickly as well... Your BEST options would be:
1) Upgrade Big 3 with 0ga. or 2ga. wiring.
2) get a MUCH better battery... maybe an Optima or something equivalent.
3) if 1 and 2 don't help enough, purchasing a higher output alternator or having your alternator re-wound for more output would be the last step.
The reason alternators fry is because the amp is trying to pull more amperage (over a period of time, be it 10 minutes or 5 days) than your charging system has available. capacitors don't add in extra amperage, so they won't help very well.
