For a wiring kit get this.

For a box I really highly recommend building one yourself. Since you're on a very tight budget that may not be possible. If you don't want to build your own box just search amazon for a prefab sealed or ported box for a 12" sub.

Also, you can downsize to a 10" sub to save some money. You will be sacrificing a bit of bass though.

EDIT: OP, I didn't take the subs voice coils into consideration when recommending the above. So instead of using that Sundown SD 2 ohm. If you get that amp, you should get the 4ohm version of the SD. The Sundown E will match with that Kicker amp fine. Thanks /u/Jdoorz for pointing that out.

You definitely do NOT want any Dual product. The subwoofers sound like crap, don't take rated power, and will blow within weeks. For a cheap setup that will last for a while i'd say something like this:

That amp puts out 1500rms @1ohm, so it will leave plenty of headroom if you want to ever get another sub. In my opinion they are the best amplifiers for the money. I have been using one for quite a while and they put out rated power, sound decent, and are pretty efficient.
