Adding shallow mounts to Jeep?

[jeeper2269 10+ year member]

I’ve never been impressed with shallow mount subs, however it has been a long time since I’ve heard any. As I mentioned in other threads, I have a 12” FI Q (older version) powered by a teramps 3000.1.

The current enclosure is just a bit too big, as it was built for another vehicle.

I am trying to save up to get a smaller enclosure built for it now. I am thinking it will reduce the performance, so I am wondering if I could add some shallow mounted tens under the rear seats and make up for the loss. (Down the road, when funds permit). Or,,, would it even be worth it??

The enclosures I found seem pretty small, as far as volume.

Maybe this??

Again, I really don’t know much about them. Maybe running one, instead of two, would be better.

Shallow mounts aren’t bad, but its a tall order for shallow mounts to rival an FI Q.

Yeah, that’s why I am wondering if it would even be worth the extra money, even noticeable

It's best to show the finished product rather than the work in-between to show off a standard a person could reach.
With that said, if they ask for a how to and want something like yours, that photo you did show would be fine to show a process up until the refined version.

A pair of sundown sd3 or sd4 should be rather impressive. Might not rival a beefy ported 12 but I'd say it would be enough for most casual users
