Good 12" sub + amp - Recommend

[The Tall Man 10+ year member]

I am looking for a good 12" sub and high power amp (300-500 Watts RMS).

I have been considering the JL Audio 500.1 and JLAudio 12w3, it will run me close to $600 off the net (?) compared to e.g. $850 at a retail place like Car Toys. I'd have the box built to my cars specs after I get the parts. About $600 is what I want to spend.

Can you recommend something? I want something with good quality/tight bass; should be loud, but I'm not competing/trying to win contests. I heard the above JLA setup, and it's what I would want. But I also want some kind of remote bass control, as I think I'll want to control this thing separately from my other speakers (don't want to change the HU).
