1. A filter media, comprising: a fine fiber filtration layer and a coarse support layer that holds the fine fiber filtration layer in a waved configuration and maintains separation of peaks and troughs of adjacent waves of the filtration layer, wherein the coarse support layer is formed from fibers
1. A filter media, comprising: a fine fiber filtration layer and a coarse support layer that holds the fine fiber filtration layer in a waved configuration and maintains separation of peaks and troughs of adjacent waves of the filtration layer, wherein the coarse support layer is formed from fibers having an average fiber diameter greater than an average fiber diameter of fibers that form the fine fiber filtration layer, the coarse support layer having a density that is greater at the peaks than a density in the troughs, wherein the coarse support layer extends across the peaks and into the troughs to fill the troughs. 2. The filter media of claim 1, wherein the fine fiber filtration layer has a surface area that is at least about 50% greater than a surface area of a fine fiber filtration layer having the same cross-sectional area and arranged in a planar configuration. 3. The filter media of claim 1, wherein the coarse support layer comprises a downstream coarse support layer, and the filter media further comprises an upstream coarse support layer, the fine fiber filtration layer being disposed between the upstream coarse support layer and the downstream coarse support layer. 4. The filter media of claim 3, further comprising at least one additional filtration layer disposed between the downstream coarse support layer and the upstream coarse support layer. 5. The filter media of claim 4, wherein the at least one additional filtration layer is formed from fibers having an average diameter greater than an average fiber diameter of fibers that form the fine fiber filtration layer. 6. The filter media of claim 3, wherein the upstream coarse support layer, the fine fiber filtration layer, and the downstream coarse support layer all have a waved configuration. 7. The filter media of claim 3, wherein the upstream coarse support layer is formed from fibers having an average diameter greater than an average diameter of fibers forming the fine fiber filtration layer and equal to or less than an average diameter of fibers forming the downstream coarse support layer. 8. The filter media of claim 3, wherein the upstream and downstream coarse support layers comprise staple fiber layers, and the fine fiber filtration layer comprises at least one of a meltblown layer and a glass fiber layer. 9. The filter media of claim 1, wherein the fine fiber filtration layer comprises a meltblown layer. 10. The filter media of claim 1, wherein the fine fiber filtration layer comprises a glass fiber layer. 11. The filter media of claim 1, wherein the coarse support layer is formed from at least one binder fiber and at least one non-binder fiber. 12. The filter media of claim 1, wherein the filter media has 2 to 6 waves per inch. 13. The filter media of claim 1, wherein the filter media has a discharged DOP alpha value of greater than about 9. 14. The filter media of claim 1, wherein the filter media has a discharged DOP alpha value of greater than about 11. 15. The filter media of claim 1, wherein the filter media has a dust holding capacity of at least about 8 g/ft2 at 25 FPM face velocity using ASHRAE dust loading to 1.5 inch H2O pressure drop. 16. The filter media of claim 1, wherein the filter media has a NaCl loading of less than about 50 mm H2O after loading approximately 60mg/100 cm2 of 0.26μ, particles at 25 FPM face velocity. 17. The filter media of claim 1, wherein the filter media has an air permeability in the range of about 10 CFM to 300 CFM. 18. The filter media of claim 1, wherein the filter media has a basis weight in the range of about 70 gsm to 1100 gsm. 19. The filter media of claim 1, wherein the filter media has a thickness in the range of about 1.5 mm to 25 mm. 20. The filter media of claim 1, wherein a surface of the coarse support layer has a substantially planar configuration. 21. The filter media of claim 1, wherein the filter media has a substantially planar configuration. 22. The filter media of claim 1, wherein the filter media comprises only one coarse support layer.
