[bones justice 10+ year member]

hey im looking for a shallow mount 10" sub. preferably dual 4 ohm and around 300-400 watts rms. can anyone recommend some good SQ subs for me. Im running focal KP 6.5 comps in front, focal 5.25" coaxials in the rear and a JL 300/4 Slash amp on the mids and highs.

The only shallow-mount sub I can recommend (because it is the only one I have heard personally) is the Pioneer series. They sound pretty good. I just installed one in a friends pickup. Decent sound quality, and it gets loud for what it is.

Edit: Although, they ARE 4ohm SVC, not DVC. 400RMS.

I have demo'ed several shallow mounts for my own SQ install and would have to agree that the Pioneer's SW subs sound really clean. Personally, I preferred the SQ from the JL 13TW5, but Ive heard some horror stories (unravelling, even at low wattage, etc). The TW5 was a really humble sub (as in blending well) with just the right amount of punch to keep up with every song I tested it on.

I hope that helps. I should have my hands on one soon (2 weeks) to do some real testing. PM me if you have any questions
