Hello, I'm getting a sub for my car and I need an amp. The sub I'm looking at is the Dayton Audio RSS315HO-44 12" Its dual 4-ohm voice coils

Since it's DVC I'd need an amp that runs around 700rms at 2 ohm load. Is that correct? My budget for the amp is $200, but if that can't be done I'm willing to go higher as I understand you get what you pay for. My main priority is a reliable setup that can handle the power. Idc about blasting the roof off of buildings I just want good sq and that big boomy 808 to sound how its supposed to. Anybody running a Dayton HO 12"? If so what setup?
Also, if I theoretically ran an amp that put out 1000w rms at 2ohm would that not work because it's too powerful for the sub or is having a surplus of rms power totally fine? Any amp recommendations or advice on what to look for and where? My total budget for both amp and subwoofer is $350-$500.
I was thinking of going ported enclosure from what I've read, probably around 1.25 ft cubed. Any recommendations? I'm new to all this so I know nothing about tuning and subsonic filters and all that stuff. I just want the best possible sound for my budget.
Any help is appreciated and thank you for taking the time out your day to help me.
