Help me decide on which subs to get

[88crxsi 10+ year member]

Ok I am looking for something that gets really loud. I know everyone says 1500 rms is plenty so that should do me fine. I have had a few systems. I owned kicker l7's(old ones), type r's, some old pioneer's, and some old h2's. I just bought my girl some JL w1's for her car. I like the sound of the w1's but I need much louder. I listen to a broad range of music. I like everything from the eagle's, country, rock, metal, and rap. I listen to about 90% rap so I like lots of bass. However I like my music clean as I can get it. So I guess what I really need is SQL? I'm doing all the research I can this time I want to do it right. I was unhappy with my last system. I did 2 kicker l7's and a hifonics brutus amp. It was loud but my box builder was horrible. It sounded like complete shit. I think I will be building my own enclosure this time. However the sub choice is driving me nuts. I can narrow down what I need. I want something with crystal clear bass but extremely loud. I want to be able to hit the lows on songs like late night tip, but sound good when I through in some Tobey Keith and rock out to my redneck music haha. I was thinking of these subs. Please tell me what you think however I am open to oppinion's.

Alpine type x's

RE xxx(I know its more spl oriented but would it work for what I want?)

Another RE SUB?

JL W7

JL W6

Eclipse titaniums

Any other subs I should look into?

I'm not looking for anyone to tell me what sub to get. I'm just looking for insight from people who know alot more then me. I don't want to waste 2k on something I'm not happy with. Is there any other subs in the $500-1000 budget I can get. I want to stick with 12's.

Forgot this is going in a 97 blazer 4x4 so I have plenty of room for building a big box.

L7'S for SQL? Aren't they more SPL oriented?
