Best amp for under $250 for one Sundown X-15 sub, also what kind of box?

thanks for the suggestions so far guys, im looking for something around the 1500 rms range though because im not sure my stock electrical can handle much more than that, and since im on a low budget i cant currently afford to upgrade my alternator and battery, which i wont do until i get a bit more $$$ //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif so basically just a temporary amp for a few months which is still good/stable at 1 ohm/does rated for around $200 which puts out around 1500, maybe no more than 1700?
Oh, and whos the best guy i can talk to on these forums about building me a good quality, affordable box for this beast?

For a box, talk to @Buck, he designed and had an awesome one made for my HDC3 15, it's on it's way to my house and I am so pumped!

Instead of buying a temp amp and the. Buying another later on just get the 2400 and adjust the sensitivity to give you 1500-1700 that you can handle, and once you upgrade the electrical in the future let it roar

Also for the x-15 i would tune it to 28hz in 3.5ish cube with 50sq/in of port, but thats just my personal preference

So any suggestions for enclosure dimensions? What should it be tuned at? I play mostly rap/hip hop with the occasional electronic type music, to play daily. Maybe not the biggest possible box but not too small either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
If anyone is interested in building me a box let me know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

dont waste money and time going up in small power increments on the amp grab a big one, then just do the big 3 and adjust the gains correctly.
