Need recommendations on an 8" sub - shallow mounting depth

[joem1cha3l 10+ year member]

I just ordered my amp for my install on my 2012 GMC Sierra extended cab. I ordered an MTX RT500D because it has the built in line out converter. I'm using a stock deck. I'll be making a custom box for under the rear seat and I will probably only be able to fit an 8" sub and i've got about 6" max for mounting depth.

Im thinking of going with a Sundown Audio SD-2 8" - Mounting depth s 4-3/4" 4 Ohm. I would prefer to spend less than this if you guys have any options? I dont drive the truck a ton

This is the amp I bought:

MTX Road Thunder RT500D Mono subwoofer amplifier — 500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms at Crutchfield.com

This is the sub im looking at:

WoofersEtc.com - SD-2 8 D4 - Sundown Audio 8" 300W RMS Dual 4-Ohms Subwoofer

Best sub for small sealed boxes ive ever come across I want two in my versa now.

Now if jacob could make a sq based sub id be ecstatic but so far only sql subs

Will it work okay with that amp though?
