Shallow mount subs?

Yes, you can get a sub that costs that much for under 200 bucks? I would be interested if new or not abused.

Would the MA's sound good only half powered? Accordingly, I'd have the gains set correctly to avoid clipping the amp.

The Memphis would be my choice.

My only gripe there is the underpowered fact - I'd be putting way less than half its rated power through, and in a much smaller enclosure than recommended. Though, putting both of those together means it might work fine.

My other gripe is that as I'm 17, I'll be paying my parents to buy these, and they would prefer an authorized dealer. I might be able to get around that, as it's an excellent subwoofer from what I can see, but that would take a bit of work.

Also, I'm not looking for anything SPL - purely SQL through and through.

It depends on the box your putting it in as far as the power it can handle.

.75 qft (requires 1000W for full output)

1.0 qft (requires 800W for full output)

1.25 qft vented at 50 Hz (requires 400W for full output)

As for an authorized dealer, Good luck getting a online retailer to fix anything for you. The reps here are worth more as far as I am concerned. No pressure, you know what is right for your situation.

and the min I would let one go for it $250. So that may make your decision for you.

good luck!

Yeah, that might. It'd be a bit over budget - I'll have to see within the week or so, I'll send you off a PM if so ^^ (As in, if it's within my budget)

Personally, I'd much rather buy from a person I can talk to - but if I'm not actually putting out the online bill, then it's not fully my decision, though I can influence it. Not anything against you from me, just the random crap my parents put against people they've never met -.-

Thanks ^^

I have the Kicker 8" Shallow's, and they are okay. If its a small cab (like a reg. cab ranger) they will be decent. Anything larger, and they aren't loud/low enough.

we sell the pioneer shallow mount subs at the shop i work at and almost every one we have sold has came back, The JL is great for sq, but cost too much.

I'd be willing to bet the JL SQ dominates ANY other flat sub you can find, hands down
