If I try to peek behind the curtain I will assume that we are talking about 120 volts as standard house voltage...
Then Current = 1000 / 120 = 8.3 amps if Power Factor equals 1 or a pure resistance load. This can be handled by 14 AWG wire if the breaker the device is on is rated at 15 Amps.
But if the length of the wiring run is much longer than inside a normal home - if, say, you are planning to use the amplifier at an open-air event - you should use seriously consider using thicker wire to avoid overheating the thin 14 AWG wire together with a serious voltage loss, so consult the NEC wiring tables...

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Will a 1200 watt amplifier blow out a 1000 watt subwoofer?
Technically, yes. Practically, no. Amplifiers and speakers are rated by the maximum amount of power (and at what impedance) they can handle. A 1200 watt amplifier will eventually destroy a 1000 watt speaker if it is operated at maximum power. In normal use, however, you rarely even get close to maximum rating.
If you have a subwoofer and amplifier with 1000 watt rms and 3000 watt peak power what kind of wiring kit do you need and where can you find one?
i'm guessing this is for a car stereo, i would recommend u check out www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/ or just .com and look near the top for support......they have many wiring options for u to choose from
If you have two 1400 watt subwoofers that have a 700 watt RMS should you get an amplifier that has the watts of both of the subwoofers together 2800 or should you get an amplifier with only 1400 watts?
get the 2800
Is a 200 watt guitar amplifier louder than a 100 watt guitar amplifier?
Yes
Can you use a 1000 watt wiring kit for a 1200 watt amp?
do amps get pushed? Normally a 1200 watt amp would need driving with less than 12 watts of audio.
Is a 800 watt power amplifier can power a 1300 watt subwoofer?
yes/no
Which car amplifier is best for BMWs?
BMW's factory amplifier is actually a really great one but if your looking to go with some thing else you can try the Kenwood KAC-7204 1000-Watt Max Power.
Can you run a 500 watt amplifier at low volume on a 140 watt ac converter?
Yes, you can run a 500 watt amplifier at low volume on a 140 watt AC converter. The power consumption of the amplifier will depend on the volume level it is set to. As long as the amplifier is not drawing more power than what the converter can supply, you should be able to use them together safely. Keep an eye on the power indicator on the converter to ensure it's not being overloaded.
If you have a 300 watt RMS and 1000Watt peak power sub-woofer what rating of an amplifier should one consider using?
an amp with 300 or less rms wattage output and 1000 or less peak wattage output.
How are quad 34 preamp and 306 power amplifier rated?
In watt watt watts
Do 15 watt speakers go well with a Kenwood four channel amplifier?
No, 15 watt speakers are rated far to low to be used with an external amplifier.
What amp would be best for a 12 inch 2 ohm kicker L7?
Well a Kicker ZX750.1 would work you would need 2 of them. A1000/2 - Precision Power PPI 2 Ch 1000 Watt Amplifier. HCCA-D600 - Orion 1 Ch 600 Watt Amplifier need 2. HD750/1 - JL Audio 1 Channel 750 Watt HD Amplifier also need 2
