Looking for around 800-1000 watts at 4 ohms

You really should wire them at 1 ohm. The only way you need that many watts at 4 ohm is mostly if you are using single voice coil subs or something like that.

JBL GTO14001 - Monoblock Car Amplifier, Power Amp - Sonic Electronix

This can be had for around 200 bucks.

I havent bought the sub yet, but it comes in dual 1, or dual 2. the one ohm will be alot cheaper, but would it sound alot worse than running at 4 ohms, or even 2?

no, its not really going to "sound" any worse, its just easier on the amp and charging system at 4ohms...one thing to understand about class d; they dont have great sound quality to begin with as there main purpose is this; push high power at an effiicient rate (relative to a/b)

all amps suggested are solid choices

I have a 300 watt amp powering my interior, and I'll get one of those amps to push 1000 at one ohm. After the big three, what else can I do to make my electric be able to handle the power?

Big 3 is the cheaper of the items to do...after that you get into the realm of HO alts and extra batteries....with big 3, you should be fine to run 1300w, but thats about the max limit...and try to do the big 3 in biggest wire you can get, preferably 0 ga

some dude said you can do 35000 wrms with a 70 amp alt with a huge battery in back

run it at 1 ohm dude and get a nice 1000 to 1200rms

that cadence is really 1000 watts at one ohm? too good to be true?
