Shallow mount subs?

[YZmoto125 10+ year member]

Ive been going back and fourth on what I want to do in my truck, either take out the backseat on it and put a 15, or put 2 12" shallow mount subs under my backseat. Because I am terrible at building things, I would go with a pre-made box ( http://www.supercrewsound.com/shop/detail/11/188.htm ) but it requires a small mounting depth and low airspace. Are there any good 12" shallow mount subs out there? Ive heard about an earthquake 12" shallow mount that was pretty good, but what will be louder, 2 12" shallow mounts, or 1 15" normal sub? Also do you guys have any suggestions of which shallow mounts to get? I would rather not loose the extra passenger room as well as all the room for stuff, but a ton of bass is definately important, what do you guys suggest?

A while ago I remember seeing the new rockford fosgate shallow mount subs that were going to come out in april I think. They were a P3 shallow mount that was on their site, 3.25" mounting depth, .635ft3 and 500 watt rms for the 12s. I was excited about these becasue it would work perfect under the backseats of my truck, but now everything that I found on them has gone away. Anybody know what happened to these?

Anybody actually heard any shallow mount subs? Or does anybody know of any normal subs that would fit into this enclosure?

i don't think that would work under a seat.

A pair of 10's in the small cab of a pickup would likely be fine and many will work in .75 cF that enclosure offers.

The main thing you need to determine is what the maximum depth subwoofer you can use in there. Most subwoofer manufacturers have a subwoofer line with a ~5" depth behind the flange that will likely work in that enclosure.
