The Kicker L7 "bundle" would be a good choice. Kicker's are excellent for SPL but somewhat lacking on the SQ side.

These Image Dynamics 15's would sound really good. And they are $100 less than the Kickers.

Alpine Type R's are also excellent SQ subs. This "bundle" is a little over your $1,000 budget, but it includes the enclosure and amp wiring kit.
