I've heard a pair of 10" RF P2 vs. a pair of 10" Kenwood Excelons in the same box(on a board though). The RF killed the Kenwoods. Like they were a size bigger.The sale rep said that since the subs have to fill the whole room with bass, all shallow mounts would seem weak compared to regular subs; that they cannot go as low as regular subs.Then I go to another store and this car audio guy says,"nope, that's not true." Because regular subs and shallow-mounts equivalents share the same voice coil and Vmax. The motor is the only thing that's re-engineered to save space.Then I've been told that shallow-mounts need the same amount of air space as a reg sub. That the only space saved is the reduction of the motor intrusion in the air space.</blockquote>
