shallow mount on a budget....hows the PIONEER TSSW251 10 inch

[burro breath 10+ year member]

so im building a box for a truck that has a 6 inch max mounting depth ( would like to keep it around 5.75 inch) and the guy is on a shoe string budget of 300$. he is looking for decently clean sound and a pretty good thump. i have built about a dozen boxes and havent ever had a customer come back disapointed. that being said ive never done a shallow mount sub. i told him the budget is pretty low and 500$ is more realistic but hes hell bent on 300$ so seeing as how i havent been on this forum in a while do to oschool what do you guys think about the pioneer TSSW251 10 inch. i was thinking of doing a ported box with a flair port at 36htz. any input would be great and sorry for the lack of knowledge the last time i was on here RE audio was making pretty good quality products but now i read that they went to hell wich is a shame.

OK well then what's something worth it. I personally think a sundown sa8 would be his best option since it has a 5.25 inch mounting depth.

Find some Boston G1s and build a ported box. They are pretty efficient and don't need a lot of power for decent output, the 12 only has a mounting depth of 5inches, the smaller ones require less.
