shallow mount subs

[LsChevy]

I convinced myself to go ahead and put a couple subs in my truck. I don't want to have to raise my seat or anything, so I'm going with a enclosure from Fox acoustics designed for my truck. But I still have a couple of questions...

I know I will not be able to get ground shaking bass out of two tens or twelves, so I'm going for a sq setup. as for power I don't have an amp yet but I don't want to go overboard with power.

1. should I go with two vented 10's or two sealed 12's?

2 what's a good shallow mount dub to go with for under $300

I run the MTX 12" shallows in my truck sealed and really like them. Have a pair on an AQ2200 at 1 ohm, and they have 43,000 miles on them without any issues.

The Sundown SD-2 series subs. They are not shallow mount, but they are very shallow compared to normal 12s. They are best shallows I have ever used. If you can fit them use them.

Most shallows I have used hit high bass but have no low due to excursion I guess. The Sundowns have the lows.

if I was too go with the sundown subs should I go with two sealed 12's or two 10's ported

Friend had 2 pioneer shallows. I really like pioneer usually, but these shallows in a ported box didnt even sound great to me at all.
And they were powered right at their RMS.

So I would look into something ported, like the two 10s idea you just said

it all comes down to air space,

through up some links to the boxes your looking at getting

and a price for subs and amp

No. No prefabs brother, you'll blow those subs quicker than a 412cvx designed box. Take measurements, post them here, and have someone here help you design a box. It'd be even better if you lived near an SMD member that you could pay to do you a box, except 412cvx.

yeah I'm with boom50cal no prefab box they always sound like crap go to an audio dealer tell them what sub your going to run or just post the measurement and let someone from here help,before I bought the sundown I post a pick of the box design and all the sundown people told me to pull the trigger on the box and I did couldn't be happier with the sound I get.
