Limited space, what subs?

[teenycar 10+ year member]

OK so I got the component speakers figured out. I need to start looking at subs. I am putting them in a 2005 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab and I have very limited space. I have a couple of 10W3's from a previous project but they are too deep to mount. I'm wanting to put them either under my rear seat or behind it. So I'm looking for some shallow mount subs that have a crisp bass but will still hit the lows when needed. Something that requires minimum cubic feet of air space since I have nearly none. I'd like them in the 10 or 12 inch range. Also not the right forum but I am going to need an amp. to power them so list an amp recommendation with the subs. if you would. Thanks.

You could look at these OS PPIs, mounting depth is right around 4" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

So I am looking at the Memphis Audio 15sc12s4. Not sure what the difference is between that and the 15sc12d4 model. Seems like they are the ones to beat in the shallow category. I should be able to fit 2 of these behind the seat. At 500 RMS power per speaker, does anyone have a suggestion for an amplifier? Seems reasonable at around $400 for the pair.

Are you going for SQ or SPL? I'm not too familiar about shallow mount subs but it might help others on recommendations for that

Good question....I'm in the same stage of putting a system together. I have a 04 ext cab and would like to put stuff under the back seat. I'm kind of on a slim budget though ($200-$300) for amp and sub. Any generel suggestions would be appreciated. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Take the back seat out or do a blow through.
