Ok I drive a 98 mustang coupe and am going to put my new system in, I have researched and heard many subs powered by different amps. The best combo ive heard is the JL 1000/1 hooked up to a 12inch W7. Other people say this sub is overrated, have these fools actually heard this thing hooked up to a 1000/1? the sq is incredible and it is sooo powerful and deep, anyway... money is not a concern for me so i was wandering what would be better, should I have 1 12 W7 or 2 hooked up to the 1000/1, and if there is a difference what would it be? your recomendation is greatly appretiated.

i would just go with one, what is the power handling on them, isnt it like 600-750 rms or sumtin like that, could go with 2 but will only gain a few db of spl, for the price i would go with one and maybe go ported box that will make up the few db difference and then you would only need the 500/1, since the power handling will go down with the ported box, im sure with the 500/1 and 1 12w7 that mustang will damn near fall apart lol, it should be nasty loud, wait for others to reply but thats what i would do, i dont really thing 3-5 dbs is really worth the extra 700 for the sub and extra 300-400 to jump to the 1000/1. good luck tho, will be happy either way you go

Yeah, that sub will handle 1000 watts RMS in a sealed box.
If you added a 2nd sub, 500 to each sub is nothing to sneeze at either. But now you have more space lost in the back and really, no net gain in SPL with dual subs.
2 subs cut the power in half... loss of 3dB Vs 1 sub
Add a 2nd sub, you will pick up +3 dB Vs 1 sub.... a wash + $$$
Add a 2nd sub and amp, you get +6dB Vs 1 sub/1amp
I'd say for many reasons, stay w/ 1 sub and 1 amp. If you want more bass than that, can always add on later.
