What size amp would match perfect for this sub? 250/1 or 500/1?

And would I need a 4ohm sub?

Either amp would work just fine. Depends on how loud you are used to having a stereo. I have never had JL products before but I think the amps provide the same power @1 ohm as they do 4 ohm so it wont matter if you use one of the JL slash amps you listed above.

Thanks man. I saw the slash amp and its $599! I wanted to keep the system on a budget. If I get their cheaper 500/1, would that not work? Sorry man I know nothing about audio lol. Trying to learn.

Heres the JL Amp:

I put the same Alpine Amp in my son's car 3yrs ago, and its worked flawlessly ever since. The Alpine Type-R sub has always been a great performer for the money, I don't have it, but I have several friend that do.

I have that exact Alpine setup in my Camaro - it hits pretty decent, and I can turn it up loud enough that I can't stand it, which passes my test. It replaced an MB Quart 10" with an MTX amp feeding it (something in the 300-ish watt range), and I was very pleased with the change.

I was pleased with how affordable the Alpine amp and sub were, especially after shopping around - I also have the Alpine 4 channel amp that matches driving the other speakers in my car. Overall, I've been very pleased with this setup.
