Have you looked into alpine type r's? You can pick up a 12 for around 150.

That's a D4 but you can pickup a D2 as well. Have you thought about that route or not? Or are you waiting on an amp first?
The alpine type r 12's can handle around 1000 watts rms each so I suggest getting an amp at around that or a little bit higher. Take the ohms into account though.
The cheapest suggestion I could make would be to get an alpine type r 12. something like a hifonics brutus amp or if you want to get one of the best at about double the cost--still under 300... http://www.amazon.com/JX1000-1D-Audio-Monoblock-Amplifier/dp/B004LMCZMY
With the money left over talk to some shops near you to see if any build custom boxes--if you can't. With them building it you can probably get by with a decent mdf box for about 150, a good one for around 200. Add in styling/fiberglass it will inch up to around 400+. At least in my area, yours may be a bit different.
Whichever sub/setup you choose just don't skimp on the box it may not seem like it would matter that much but it does.
As for the previous advice on not buying a prefab box? I would agree in most scenarios, but it's not an absolute. A pre-fab box that's cheap, and just a general box? Yeah don't even think about those. If you can find one that's made for the sub you want, and it's made out of decent material? Then yeah check it out.
This amp is 259 and will power it well I have one pushing my 10" jl w7. http://www.amazon.com/JX1000-1D-Audio-Monoblock-Amplifier/dp/B004LMCZMY
I'd honestly stick with a JL amp.
Here's a 1000w JL amp for <$250

So here are the ones I've found in order from more likely to buy to less likely to buy, looking for opinions on them, if I should go with one over the other, etc. (Yes I will be open to rewiring to 1 ohm)
