How much power should be sent to a single 12" Kicker CVR DVC 4ohms in a ported enclosure in order for it to get decently loud?

I have actually done quite a bit or research on that exact question. The number I came up with is 400-525 rms clean wattage.

I have a Bazooka BA1500 that I had on a 10" Kicker L5. I got rid of the L5 and I now have the CVR. But that amp did better then I expected. Now granted it was in the factory Kicker truck enclosure and it was sealed, sittin behind my seat, but it made it "thump" really good imo. I'm gonna put the same amp on my CVR when I finally get around to installing it. The amp is rated 500rms and 750max wattage. Not the greatest amp, but it does the job well.
