Best Shallow Mounted Sub?

[gti303 10+ year member]

Hello! I'm new here! woohoo!

Anyways, I'm wondering and have been searching for info but haven't come to a conclusion. Basically I will be running a 10" 1.0 cubic foot small box firing down, off a PDX4.150 with 2 channels bridged for the Sub. My car is a 350z coupe, my fronts will be Focal 165CVX with an Alpine W505 HU. My question is, which is going to be the best sub for my application? I don't have much of a mounting depth...and I've narrowed my search between 3 subs...

Alpine SWS-1043D

Kicker CVT10

MB Quart RSH 254

Any feedback is greatly appreciated...I'm lookin for a lil bit more on the sound quality side...I definately don't need heart pounding bass...if I had to scale it, I think I'd want 65% quality, and 35% spl...

Thanks in advance!!!

I don't think there's too much experience on a lot of the new shallow subs. The JL Audio, Kenwood, and Memphis shallow subs look nice though.

I've heard the CVT, the pioneer shallow mount, and the Re re's.

The CVT was the loudest, the RE's sounded the best. The best overall was the RE RE's. But check reaudio.com they have their new shallow mounts out! The SL's, and they look awesome. I'm not sure if they've been released to dealers or not though.

The new Re audio SL shallow's are very very nice subs!!! The output is sick for a shallow mount woofer. They will take 400rms each with no problems. I would say if anyone is looking for a shallow mount sub than check out the new re's.

I know its old but rather then making a new post..

Has there been any improvements in shallow subs? Has there been any new ones taking more power yet?

The JL TW5 has a 7" coil but is still a 600 watt sub.

I'd get one to try in the wife's truck if they weren't so expensive.
