This is the owners manual for the 10w1
In it they give you exact spects on how the box should be made, ported or sealed.
A copy of this will be in the box with your sub

the w1 series does not handle that much power.. i would only drive it 50watts over the rms.. jl posts a range chart which is awesome. if it is in black it will void the warranty. tthe best thing to do is keep everything distortion free. jl can take a lot more then the rms if it is distortion freeee. good buy.. i think the new tw5 is sooo hot.. ill trade someone a 13w7 for one

Since he will only be running 1sub the amp will be running at 4 ohms mono.
So with a 4 ohm rating of 300 watts that Alpine seems to line up perfect numbers wise.
I would not run the amp at full tilt though, 75-80 % should run that sub nice without over working the amp
BTW-You can get the polyester in the fabrics section at Walmart

and do you just fill the whole box with it? and what exactly does it do?

No you don't have to fill the whole box with it , just line the back with some, you still want to let air flow.
To be honest I don't know the exact amount that should go in but from my experiance it is usually about 20% of the box, but as for an exact amount IDK
