1000W sub .... anyone can tell how they deal with it, whether you are the owner of such sub or a neighbour of an owner with such subs.

Is it annoying, not annoying, never use it or just don't care about the neighbours.

Decoupling is the key in sound. Decouple the floor where subwoofer sits by creating a subfloor which it sits in top of. Lay the below 9mm mat on the concrete floor then double plywood screwed together on top then whatever your flooring is (underlay with carpet on top etc) of it's laminated or hardwood floor then you only need to lay the mat with layer of single 7 or 9mm plywood with laminated or hardwood floor on the top. The entire subfloor needs to have at least 1inch gap from all 4 sides of the wall  so it's not touching the foundation walls else the low frequency from subwoofer will get transferred that way. This is purely just for containing low frequency from a subwoofer in a single floor house. Sound proofing is another solution.
