Really Confused HELP

[85_CHEVY 10+ year member]

I have a 1985 single cab and I want a single 12" sub but only have 7 inches of bottom mounting depth with the seat all the way back. from what I've read I like the Alpine SWR 12 but will it fit in the room I'm working with and sound good? http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductReview.aspx?ProductID=14954 If not what do yall think about the JL audio 13W1 http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=15652

vs the JL 12W1? http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17414 I'm open to any suggestions //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

after I figure out which sub to get ( don't really want to spend more than $150 ) I'll have quite a few more questions on amps and a box lol

Thanks

I would choose the Type R over the JL. I have a friend that uses the R's and they work very well. Man that truck you can easily run a single 12 ported, I have built them before and they work very well.

Me and my dad are gonna build the box, I was planning on a sealed box, are ported boxes harder to build? If you have any pics or measurements on the ones you built I'd appreciate the help.

No pics, I built those years ago before digital cameras, I may have some still photos saved in storage. Do you plan on using the entire width of the truck, You will need the whole width for a ported box. Yes ported box's take some know how to build and tune correctly. If you post your max box size you will get some help here.

uh isnt the type r's mounting depth like 7.5 inches?? if you only have 7" to work with then you need to get a woofer with 4.5" mounting depth at most. 1.5" for wood thickness and an inch chearance behind the woofer.

You can use this to help design your box. Your box may be close to this size

They are that deep? He may have to choose the Type S, or another brand

RE has a few that are not shallow mount that take around 5" if I recall, I am sure their are few others. You can get two 10" eD subs for the price you want to spend

if mounting depth is an issue, i would just get a shallow sub to be on the safe side

He still can use a decent size sub just not one as deep as the type R

Thats what I was wondering if it would fit it probably would with my seat all the way up but I don't want to do that. I'll look into the type S but this one don't look bad either http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17414 and it only needs a 5.09" mounting depth.

Look through the sale section you may find something better then the above sub.

I may end up having to get a shallow mount. I found these 2... RE Audio RE12 - RE Audio 12" 250 Watt Dual 4 Ohm RE Series Subwoofer

http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=4907 I could make them work with the seat up some I think?
