Look for some Image Dynamics IDQ12dvc v.2's. Your amp is putting out more
power than the subs you've listed will handle so spend a bit more on the
ID's and you'll be happy.

Here's what I got
a 2 channel 1000 watt lanzar vibe245 amp
2 1 cu. ft. sealed enclosures for 12" subwoofers
a 79 Tbird

Here's what I want out of these 12's
tight clean accurate bass, good sound quality, not boomy

I mostly play rap and death metal in my car.

My wallet has $175 put away for subwoofers.

Which 12's are the best to get in my situation with the amount of money I
got?
I've been considering the following subs
Alpine Type-E SWE 1241
Infinity Reference 1230w
JBL GT 120
MTX Thunder 4500
Pioneer TS-W305C

I would greatly appreciate some good detailed advice.

Ya those ID's are nice. I look at all sorts of nice speakers like
kicker comps and rockford punches, but then I look at my wallet and
remember that I work at a burger joint for $5.40 an hour. If I was to
go all out I'd just spend about $240 on a good deal I've found on some
kicker comps, but then I'll just have a nice pair of kicker comps in
the closet not being able to afford the equipment to hook it up or the
installation. I knew I'd probably get posts like "spend a little more
and get this you'll be happier" because other people have learned from
experience that you will get what you pay for. That's understandable,
but that's not what I'm asking for. Everybody and their moma knows a
good set of kicker's, rockfords, ID's, infinity perfects or whatever
will thump the trunk.

As for the amp I believe at least a couple of those brands can handle
the rms rating of that amp if I wire it at 4ohms which is the plan
because I heard wiring it at 2 ohms will take away from the sound
quality. It's says on the box at 4 ohms it puts out 250 rms and at 2
ohms it puts out 400 rms. I shouldn't of even considered the alpines,
but going by the numbers the infinity references (300 rms), pioneers
(400 rms), and the JBl GT's (250 rms) can handle that amount of power
although it's pushing it a bit. Maybe I don't know what I'm talking
about, but I also have a cheap and weak 600 watt Jensen amp that will
push much less than that anyway. I hate to say I got anything Jensen
in my car though.
