Are you sure you NEED 1000Watts? That's a lot of juice.

Post the specs of the subs you bought, how you listen to your music, and what your space constraints are for the box they are going in. Then, matching up an amp becomes easier than just pulling a rabbit out of the proverbial hat of 1000Watt amps.

Go with JL Audio and you won't be upgrading in 3 months. Get a 10-12 w3v2 and send it 300-400w RMS and it will blow those E's out of the water. Just my .02 Thomas
