After reading up on various forums, I've concluded that I will be purchasing either :
1.TC Sounds TC-1000 10" or 12" D4
2. Soundsplinter RL-i10 or RL-P12
I'm planning on using a Boston Acoustics GT-22 bridged at 500wx1@2ohm (not 1-ohm possible), which I happen to have lying around.
I'm going with a sealed box for my needs with one of the above 4 subs, but question is:
1.Will 1 cub.ft. be sufficient to accommodate deep, linear subsonic frequency extension/response, or will I have to go to something more like 1.5 or 2 ft.? I won't be listening at levels beyond 120db or so, and mostly 95-105db. I want this setup to be as space-efficient as possible, but I need low enough response to do justice to Drum n Bass, Dubstep, and minimal tech-house and techno.
2.Will I need to upgrade my battery from stock or any other part of my electrical system running the above along with an Alpine PDX-4.100?
3.Would there be much benefit to upgrading to an amp that could do, say 600w@2ohms/1000w@1ohm, given the power ratings of these speakers, or is my Boston amp perfectly sufficient? And if I did upgrade, could I still stick with my stock battery?

Boston Acoustics S-95.3 rear
Alpine PDX-4.100 for front and rear
Boston Acoustics GT-22 (or maybe upgrade) for sub
