help me decide

I have about $70 to $90 to spend on a single 12" sub. I'm going for SQ but I still want the car to bump. I'm just kinda putting this in to take care of the bass instead of my hollow sounding 6x9's. I have a 98 buick park avenue with a large trunk and a pioneer DEH-P3900MP head unit. Basically there are 3 subs I have come up with:

-Pioneer TS-W307D4 - Pioneer 12" 1200 Watt Subwoofer

12” DVC Subwoofer w/Dual 4 ohm ohm Voice Coils

1200 Watts Maximum Power

400 Watts Nominal Power

89dB Sensitivity

18Hz — 500Hz

-Alpine SWS-1243D - Alpine 12" Type S 900 Watt Dual 4 Ohm Subwoofer

12" subwoofer with dual 4-ohm voice coils

Peak Power Handling: 900 Watts

RMS Power Handling: 300 Watts

-Kicker 07CVR124 - Kicker 12" 800 Watt 4 Ohm DVC CompVR Subwoofer

Power handling: 50-400 watts RMS (200 watts per coil)

800 watts peak power handling

Frequency response: 25-500 Hz

I'm probably leaning towards the kicker but please give me some opinions.

The box I have is a slot ported single 12. I do not know the dimensions of it but my friend had a polk audio 12 sub in it previously. This is the box I will be using.

At the moment I do not have an amp, so I will be looking for that as well. Any input will be appreciated.

Thanks!

personally i wouldn't buy a sub until you find out the specs of the box. a poor box/box of the wrong size can ruin the best sub.

its about 13" high 16" deep and 18" wide. and the port is 12" high and 3" wide. about 2.2 cubic feet volume? rough estimate but does this help?
