Amp to power my 12 inch JL W3

[malibuboats91 10+ year member]

I have a 12 inch JL w3v3-4. I bought it with a MTX x500d amp but am using that to power my other sub now. I decided that I'm going to put the W3 in my boat now but need an amp. Im looking to spend under $150. My local car audio dealer that I buy all my JL stuff from told me about the Coustic brand. I checked them out and didn't find much. The other dealer I buy stuff from recommended Audiopipe. I was looking at getting the Coustic us-c400 or 500c1 from coustic but couldn't find specs on the 500c1. From Audiopipe I was looking at AMPR-1300MIN. Do any of these amps sound like they would do a decent job powering my W3 that just sits in my basement? If not, any other recommendations?

audiopipe is prob gonna be your cheapest option unless you buy used. personally i would buy a nice little SQ amp for that from the classifieds.

something like this would work great:

All you need for that sub is 250 good watts. see if you can find a JL 250/1 somewhere. Make sure you can seal it up good if you dont end up with a marine amp
