Ok look into these. We just picked up the full line of Audio Dynamics at the shop and they might have a sub to fit your bill. It’s the AD2510 and they can handle 600 watts RMS, each woofer needs .50 -.60 of air space sealed and the mounting depth is 3.75. I know it’s a shallow subwoofer, but we down the 12s and they’re super impressive. Can’t really speak on the tens yet so check around the Internet and see what people are saying about them.
I've just got one of the 10", going in a 1.28 cu ft net ported enclosure, not sealed. This driver really wants a ported enclosure.
I kind of wonder if these are actually DD Audio SL610 knock-offs or made by DD Audio, my usualy go-to shallow sub.
They are pretty evenly matched, it seems.
The SL600 Series subwoofers give you the bass you want, in almost any space you want to put it. They feature super shallow mounting depths, and the suspensions have been tuned to perform in sealed and small vented enclosures. To maintain power handling, cooling and excursion the SL600s utilize...

And until recently, they were around $249-$269 each; now the 10's are at $329.00. Engineered in the US, manufactured in China, and those pesky tariffs are likely the reason for the hike.
Just purchased a Soundigital EVO6 3000.1. from a US seller on
eBay. $268.00 landed. The Brazilian distributors on
eBay don't warn you, but
eBay does.
Did some research, right now, on a $250.00 amp imported from Brazil, you're looking at a $125.00 tariff on top of that $250.00 amp price.
I've always liked the DD Audio driver, one of the few shallow-mount subs that I can say performs every bit as good as its full-sized counterpart.
I'm hoping this AD is as good.
While not exactly budget-minded, these have piqued my interest a time or two.
