[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8660534, member: 614752"] Well the JL is certainly going to give you a great product, you're paying for in house R&D and manufacturing which certainly has some value and of course you're paying for simplicity of not having to build a box yourself. BUT... you are paying pretty big for JL and I think if it's just a matter of putting something in a tiny sealed box to cover 80hz and down just about anything outside of the gutter brands would get you about the same place especially if you're going to be investing in an OEM integration solution with some heavy processing/EQ power. Really not sure if I could justify value in the high cost of JL for that application myself, then again, I'd never buy a vehicle that didn't have space for bass. That said, I'd never be in the market for off-the-shelf box+sub nor would I even consider putting myself in a position where I need to rely on shallow mount so I can't say I have much of an idea what's out there in that department and I'm guessing most of the other fellas on this board would go custom I don't think you'll get any great answers on what's out there around here apart from which brands should be avoided off-hand. If it were my truck given the limitations of not being able to yank the back seats entirely and walling it or doing a cut-through I'd be looking to do something similar to the SSA build posted here with some beefy 6 or 8" drivers. Something like that in a good custom box should outperform anything you could do with shallow mounts. Generally you'll do better with smaller diameter high excursion drivers than big cone area with limited excursion, but of course high excursion comes with big mounting depth. Have you measured precisely the working space you have? Does JL make a box tailor made for that interior? [/QUOTE]
