Need help picking the right sub

[modemx]

I just got a Camry Hybrid. I put in a Kenwood DNX5120 and would like to get a sub for the trunk. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but would like something that can handle deep bass and is loud.

In my Corolla, I had 2 MTX 10" subs (200 watts RMS each). With that, I had an Audiobahn A2002T putting 100 watts to each of the subs.

The trunk space in the TCH is limited, so I don't want to give any of it up. At first I was thinking abt shelling out for a custom enclosure, but I think I found a box that will fit above the Hybrid battery in the pass-thru (I'm trying to do this for as cheap as possible). I was looking at

Sub: CP108LG-W3v3 (250 watts rms)

Amp: Alpine MRP-F600 (300 watts to the sub)

Is this going to give me as much bass as my old system? Even close? Do I need two of them (not sure if this would fit in the pass-thru).

Otherwise, is there another sub enclosure that has similar dimensions (not more than 5.5" deep)?

And if not, could I supplement this system w/ some front door speakers that can help with bass?

The jl will sound a hell of a lot cleaner then the mtx's as far as louder I don't know depends on instal you might want to lo ok into jl's shallow mount subs the TW5's they are top notch far as shallow mounts go IMHO...

i would go with DD or maybe sundowns, or any high end sub should be better and cheaper than the JL

Here is the JL with enclosure for $209 I would definitely get that...

That JL audio is one hell of a deal for what your getting. to power it I would get a 500rms amp that makes its power at 2 ohms so that when you hook it up at 4 ohms it makes half power or 250 watts.
