    What sub(s) will work best for me

    This is going in a Mazda 5. Going behind one of the 3rd row seats.
    Max box size OD are 18h x 19w x 12d1 and 5d2, about 1.17 Cubic feet before sub displacement.
    Amp will be an Alpine MRP -M500. Want to run it a t 2 ohms.
    Just want to get as loud as I can, SQ is secondary.
    Budget will be up to $200 for sub(s).
    Was thinking either a 10 or 12, or maybe 2 8's.

    you can do one ssa dcon 10 ported in that space, maybe.

    you also do one sa 8 ported which would be nice also

    The Sa8 will do very well with your available space and power.

    The sa will get fairly loud also.

    Another good 8" choice is tc sounds epic. I am not sure on its box requirements though

    That box is almost perfect for a Fi X 10" and that amp would work as well. I had mine in an explorer off 160 and it got plenty loud and sounded very clear doing it. I would go with the Fi or Dcon for sure.
