[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8828966, member: 614752"] The issue being that a woofer needs to be acoustically coupled with the correct airspace to function properly. Those "stealth" and "shallow" type woofers are already pushing the envelope to the absolute limit of what you can get away with. "Space makes bass". A smaller woofer in the correct airspace will outperform a larger one shoehorned into too-small space by every measure. You definitely don't want a big box with a heavy woofer in a vehicle you're trying to use offroad so I'd say something like that JL is probably your absolute best option for your purposes. Even with that, you may want to take measures to be sure that it absolutely won't turn into a deadly projectile in the event of a rollover. Not sure how they're normally secured but you may want to use some extra reinforcing there. There was a guy up my way that was killed in a rollover on the way home from a show, didn't get the full details but I suspect his heavy box and sub flying around in his Range Rover when the crash happened didn't help matters.
