My direction was more to show a possibility. Just demonstrating that $1000 can get you quite far for just sub(s) and an amp, not so much as a recommendation of a specific set up. That being said, it is more up to you what you decide works best with your desires, space, and budget. Be it a single 12, dual 12's, single 15 etc. Whether to go ported or sealed enclosure etc. These are all personal preference. I have run lots of different set ups over the years, and had many things I've enjoyed with each. Tuning in the 32 - 36 hz range should do quite well in a proper sized enclosure. At the end of the day it's up to you.

That will work, but just as simple to drill and tap together. It's especially helpful if you use a drill press. Not for tapping of course.
