Advice on Subwoofer Installation Parts

I'm looking to install a 12 inch ported subwoofer in my 2023 VW GTI, however I need some advice on updated part information since it's been about a full 10 years since I last put together a system in my car. I listen to primarily rap, some uk garage, and metal/hardcore. I have always loved powerful, clean, loud bass with my music. I'm a total audiophile but I don't have the budget nowadays to afford what I really would want so I'm stuck with a ~$500 budget for everything I need aside for LOC (have an LC2i already for the install)

Back then, I had 2 12 inch JL w0's in a sealed ebay box with some random amp that I can't remember and wiring which I also can't remember. Despite the precarious variables that system absolutely SLAPPED. One of my best friends had a single 12 inch type R in his GTI and it also slapped albeit much cleaner and louder than my setup and I really enjoyed his setup. Moving forward, I'm reading so much new info about how certain brands are nothing like they used to be and basically it is evident that I really need to choose my parts wisely.

I'm set on wanting a 12 inch ported sub and I have a strong affinity towards JL and Alpine. I was thinking about a 12 inch type R mainly but have no idea what I should power it with. Help me piece together a reliable, clean, and bumping subwoofer install, wiring, amp, sub, and enclosure.

I was looking at the JL 12 in w0v3 "BassWedge" since the enclosure seems well built and most importantly the price point is about the same as buying a separate prebuilt enclosure from somewhere.

I'm not trying to go down the custom enclosure route. Any thoughts on the BassWedge? Good or nah? Similarly I saw a kicker solo baric with enclosure on sale for $380 which seems like a good deal since the sub itself is about $300. Only thing is that the box can never be reused for a regular round sub ever, also I'm not particularly a huge fan of the kicker brand tbh, but am open to it possibly: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/kicker-solo-baric-l7s-12-2-ohm-loaded-subwoofer-enclosure-black/5892164.p?skuId=5892164

As far as wiring goes I read this knukonceptz Kolossus 4 gauge kit is solid: https://www.knukonceptz.com/mobile-audio/amp-installation-kits/sp/complete-4-gauge-amplifier-installation-kit/

Is that a good pick for what I'm trying to do? I appreciate all and any advice. Thank you
