I've been thinking..and i need to know if my logic is right If i get 2 JL 12 w7's..each at 3 ohms... Technically..if i wire them in parallel..that would give me a total impedance of 1.5 ohms...shouldn't the amp give each sub the 1000 watts?...is there anyway to do this? I dont even know...im just reaching...lol let me know

No dude... the amp would put out 1000 watts rms at 1.5 ohms total, so 500 rms each sub, m=making each sub a littl underpowered.
actually....the rms continious power rating is 750....going from 500 to 750 would be a difference but with the output of a W7 it will still be loud as hell....and why not just get one W7 on a 1000/1? the output is pretty high!
on the power rating i was refering to the Sub not the amp......a 1000/1 will put out 1000 watts at any ohm 1.5-4 and as long as your charging system can give it atleast 10.5 volts. great amp......(just a little thing i heard from the JL rep......they are gonna be releasing Anadized black versions of the Slash series amps!)
if it was me, i'd give them each 1000 watts, they'd take it no problem and sound great. but you could run them with 500 a piece and it'd still sound good, just wouldn't push them to full potential.
JL amps are underrated, so you'll get a little more then 1000 watts if you give it power.
a 13W7 with the 1000/1 would sound great too and be comparable to the 2 12's with 500 a piece, as ucfsaxman said.
I've got a 12w7 running off a 1000/1 and I think thats the best match for it. Though if you did run 2 12w7's they'd get a little more than 500rms maybe around 575rms. But you'd be better off with just 1. And make sure you set the gains right.
