Default Need a sub amp recommendation

So I figured I would look into this before spring rolls around. I need an amp to match my 10" sub that's going to be in a stealth box if that matters. As far as a budget goes, I'd like it to be reasonable since the sub wasn't terribly expensive.

The specs are as follows.

-250 RMS
-Frequency Response:25-300 Hz
-Dual 4 Ohm Voice Coil
-Sensitivity:90 dB

Kicker ZX300.1 on Ebay, or Phoenix Gold. DO NOT buy from indoaudio, though.

I've got a couple from MA Audio that would well for not a lot of cash.
HK398: $120.00 600watts RMS @ 4ohms
M300XE: $100.00 250watts RMS @ 4ohms, 500watts RMS @ 2ohms
I also have the Cadence FXA-2100: $135.00
RMS Ratings
2 x 100 Watts @ 4 Ohm
2 x 150 Watts @ 2 Ohm
1 x 300 Watts @ 4 Ohm
Cadence ZRS-1502: $217.00
RMS Ratings
2 x 150 Watts @ 4 Ohm
2 x 300 Watts @ 2 Ohm
1 x 600 Watts @ 4 Ohm
Just a few..some are overkill but you could adjust the gains accordingly.

Refurbished makes it sound like it's not trash. Too good a word for them.
