[QUOTE="pw91686, post: 8643309, member: 559146"] he had another thread on here asking for shallow mount woofer recommendations because he wants it under seat, doesn't want an enclosure taking up space. but didn't want to drop the money on a stereo integrity bm mkiii i offered. but one thing to note here as well is that if you do some digging, you will notice that there are many shallow mount subwoofers that do not work well in small enclosures. many of them need close to 1 cu ft if not more for optimal performance, which is quite ridiculious considering the whole point is to save space. for instance, "thatpurplekush" sent you a link recommending the dayton audio shallow mount subwoofer telling you that you will get better performance from it, but he is more than wrong. parts express recommends 1.3 cubic feet sealed for that subwoofer, so therefore, if you put that sub in .6 cu ft its going to sound like ****, and you probably won't have hardly any kind of response below 50 hz if you modeled it. so be sure to look at which driver fits your needs the best. thats why i recommended the stereo integrity bm mkiii i have, it is specifically designed for sealed enclosures of .5-.65 cu ft. but i'm the type to save some extra money to get what really fits my need, because if you buy something because its cheaper, you're likely to end up spending extra money in the long run because you're not satisfied with what you have. but if the kenwood sounds decent to you after you test it, then thats not a bad deal for $100... i guess you'll never know what to expect unless you actually try it out and see. but trust me, in that size enclosure, i highly doubt it would come anywhere close to a si bm mkiii...
