you know, i was looking at Infinity Kappa 12"s, not the Perfects they don't fit. They aren't really shallow mount, but their depth is 5" which will fit in my box. My main problem isn't mounting depth for most subs it is recommended box volume. Kicker CVT's will fit, but they need a big box which doesn' t make a lot of sense considering most people with a big box have plenty of depth anyway.

The Kappas are rated at .7-1.3. My box is going to be around .6, but I figure they will probably still sound better than any of the true shallow mount subs that are between 3 and 4 inches deep

Stereo Integrity has a shallow sub out right now. I've heard good things about it.

i don't think those are out yet. If they are, tell me how I can get them!

I have a box that fit two RE se 12's under the rear seat in my Silverado. It is made by Sub zero and fit perfectly. It's sealed with the subs firing downward. It looks factory once installed.

A buddy of mine is strapped for cash and is selling his Re Se 12's if you are looking for some. The only problem is shipping will be pretty steep. Pm me with an offer if you want them. They were used for a few months off 500 watts each, sealed.

2 or 3 of these Sundown SD-1 v.2 10's, they got 4.5" mounting depth in a standard style 10" sub, http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17667 Or maybe check out the Treo SSi, or how about 4 RE 8's have a mounting depth of 4"

Any chances you could raise the seat an inch or two though, might give you the room you are looking for, or possibly look into replacing your center console with a box for a higher powered 10 or something.
