Best 12” to pair with 1cu. ft sealed enclosure?

To free up some room, I want to add an SKAR premade single 12" container to my 2017 Civic. From what I can tell, this is a sealed 1 cu. ft. You can use a Kicker CXA 1200.1, a Cerwin Vega H71800.1D, or a JL JD500/1 amplifier right now. Please help me find a subwoofer that hits hard and doesn’t cost too much (under $250, but this can change). I mostly listen to rap, hip-hop, and electronic music. Thanks!

I don’t mind checking marketplace if that’s the case.

Twelve of infinity likes one square in a locked box. They’re a good sub that doesn’t cost a lot, but they won’t hit very hard.

Check out a few of the subs you’re interested in, then read the instructions and look at the suggested container sizes. This is the best way to find a good 1CU sealed box.

Is there a mounting depth requirement?

The specs on the page say that the deepest fixing can go is 9.75 inches. One review on the box says it fits a 12" JL W6v3, which is 7.52" deep.

The NVX VCW12 has 1200 watts rms and is made to work well in sealed boxes.

The NVX VSW12, which has 600 watts rms, is also designed for good performance in sealed boxes, but it is not as powerful as the VCW.

Both cost much less than $200 and get great reviews.
