newbie needs shallow mount subs and an amp

[rywynn_13 10+ year member]

A few years back I did a build in my 2007 Honda Accord and got a lot of help on here. Now I have a 2014 Ram 1500 4 door and I am looking to get something nice going in it as well. I am getting a box for the subs that fits under the back seat that will require shallow mount subs. Box has .75cuft airspace per sub. I have looked at a few but dont really know enough to make an educated decision and would like some help.

I am looking for 2 shallow mount 10" subs and an amp to match. Looking to stay around $500ish

Thanks in advance for the help

What made you suggest these?

2 or 4ohm?

What amp would go with them?

They take a small space. And d4 the fosgate will need a bit bigger box to sound good. Also a 1000-1200 watt amp

DC level 1 will not work if your going under the seat. They require 6 inches mounting depth, plus an inch of space from the backing plate. Your going to need a box then that is roughly 9-10 inches tall... definitely not a underseat sub...

I say go with JL TW3 I have one under the seat in my tundra and it performs very well.

7" total is needed for the dc not 9"

I put a set of cvr subs in the same box for a friend of my sons 7 years ago. They fit fine same mounting depth as the lvl 1. 10

I would suggest MB Quart subs. Installed a few of these for other folks and they sound pretty good, compared to other brands.

The JL tw3 are $300/each. That's gonna be out of the price range
