MTX also makes a shallow woofer. I think it is about 3" deep.

Doesn't sound bad either!

I got 2 Kicker CVT 10''s on a Kicker 750.1 and sounds Nice in a F-250 and gets loud.

Elemental Designs has the SQ10 as well.

The SQ10 is a 10" sub. The OP asked about 12" subs. The cool thing about shallow 12's vs shallow 10's is you need less of them to have more impact. Once you've gotten over the hurdle of mounting depth, added surface area is a bonus. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Lol, I know that, but I'd take the SQ over most of the shallow-mounts out there.

Of course, the new BM should kick the crap out of that, but since it's not out yet and we have no incling about when it will be, I have a hard time suggesting it.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Of course, I'd try to find a conventional sub to fit in that enclosure first. There are plenty out there that should fit and do better than the shallow mounts

Guys I really appreciate all the help so far. I have been looking into regular subs but the only thing I have found that ALMOST works is the type R from Alpine. The air space requirements is just right but the mounting depth is too deep for the box I have. I am open to suggestions by all means...! I'm thinking about grabbing a pair of the Fosgate shallow P3's to hold me over until those BM's become available for purchasing.

You need to move away from mainstream. There are several subs out there that will work in that space with that mounting depth.

If you can do 10s instead of 12s, the PG RSd and RSdC will work. The Memphis M-Class and Power Reference will work in both 10 and 12. The Memphis M3 and M1would work as a 10. The Elemental Designs 13kv.2 would fit, and they have the Dual-4s on sale for $50 each. The new Stereo Integrity Mag will fit, and should be out soon. A lot of stuff out there if you take the time to look.

we are just trying to steer you away from RF which is overpriced for what you get, and make sure you get something that will work with your design limitations.

SI BM should be worth waiting for.

If the RF are really cheap and you have $$ to get the new BM's when they come out, by all means dont starve yourself of bass.

I already have the box that has holes cut for 12"'s. I have to try and get something that will work good with my amp since I dropped $250 on it already. It's a Directed D2400. How important is it to match the subs to the amount of available airspace? If I understand correctly, that amount goes down once you put a sub in the box, right? With 0.78 cu. ft. air space, then sub displacement, I'm looking at roughly 0.5 cu. ft. right? I have found very few that recommend that little air space, unless I am missing something... Again, thanks for the help!

With a box that small, the drivers' low end extension and efficiency will suffer. You might still be happy with it, though.
