Low-profile sub

[rostam]

I need a low-profile sub as to not take much trunk space. My amp puts out 250 RMS @ 4 ohms. As far as low-profile subs go, how is the Pioneer Shallow Series TS-SWX2502?

You want your money's worth, steer away from mainstream brands.

Typically low mount/shallow mount subs don't perform as good as reg subs.

How much trunk space you got? A single 8" sub in a say 1 cubed ported enclosure should get down.

What kind of amp do you have and Boomin_tahoe is correct I have one 8" sub in my blazer and it slams

I have an Alpine PDR-F50, bridging 3&4 into 250 watts. Is the CPL108LG-W3V3 comparable to your sub in your blazer?

That's a mediocre jl sub/enclosure at best.

That's nowhere near chevy blazin's 8 in a custom ported enclosure.

I really like my JL Audio slim line sub:

12TW3-D4 - Car Audio - Subwoofer Drivers - TW3 - JL Audio

They make a 10" version as well.

That's a bit above my budget of $150. For $150 I got the Kicker 40TCWS104. It comes with a box and has decent boom, but gets real sloppy with the fast stuff like metal and rock. Basically only sounds nice for rap, hip hop and boomy trance.
