I have a 13w7 matched up withh a jl audio 1000/1 in the back of an SUV. The sub makes a popping noise when the volume is turned up and im thinking the reason is because the sub isnt getting any back pressure. The box is a poted design. Will stuffing it with Poly-Fill solve this problem? (money is an issue here too)

No; poly-fill is useless in ported boxes. You can try sealing the port and seeing how it does in a sealed enclosure; you may just be getting port noise. But your best option is to buy or build a box that matches sub manufacturer's recommendations for that speaker.
You could be endangering the sub by using it in a mis-matched box.

Poly fill works well fill the box but keep the fill away from the sub for they can suck the poly into them.But fill the box ,by doing so with a sealed box you are tricking the subs into thinking there in a bigger box basically ..Just keep the fill away from the subs.!!

well if you don't have the space you need then poly-fill will fix it. but it may be the ported box, cover the hole and see if that helps. also if you have a factory radio it could be the problem or part of it! there are a few popping sounds that a sub can make, it would be smart to go by any shop that works on them and see what they think. it will make it way faster in finding the real problem.

Get a box that JL suggested build for it because if the box is not right for that sub that could very well be that the sub is messing up in there form not enough space. and other things.

If the popping noise happens as you are changing the volume on your head unit, then the gain on your amplifier is set too high.
