With a 1000w RMS ranking on that amp, you will void the warranty of the 10W7 due to power. The 13W7 is much better suited to manage that kind of wattage so it'll give you a cleaner sound at the high output levels.

No have to run 1000 watts if the subs can not keep up, so I say go with the 13W7

EDIT

You should really do your homework KID before you go around calling people stupid. The total output of the amplifier isn't only determined by the amp's ranking but the speaker's blockage is a big factor. The 10w7's each have a three ohm voice coil which wired in series produces a six ohm load. The amp in use produces 1000w rms at 1.5 to four ohms. The higher resistance of the two 10" subs means the amp won't push a full 1000w. Now if you are still with me, running the two 10's in parallel could because the amp to see a .75 ohm load. With that, the amp may produce more than 1000 watts of power but is SERIOUSLY in danger of serious damage.
In layman's terms, be cautious how you wire many subs to a mono block amp. Because either one you may under power the subs and not get the wanted sound or two blow the amp.
Putting together a good sound system is about more than just looking at the marketing numbers. Learn something about electricity and Ohm's law before you go calling someone stupid.

this other dude is stupid if you run two 10W7 that will run 500 to each 10W7. I could go with the 10's probley louder and will look better than just one sub

finally a jl ? I deal with jl audio. ok you're overloading the subs if it's a 2000watt mx power amp. but if it's 1000watt max then diffinatly go for the 10s, smaller speakers produce more in car frequency as to 12s and 1s which carry father. when you are at spl competitions you rarely see 12s an 15s the smaller the sub more dbs at the wheel.
