Trigger Man!
I don't think he has enough height in the front.
Couldn't you raise the seat two inches and run 2 or 4 8's or 6-½'s?

8s for me. I would even pick 8s over shallow mount 12s.
I can look into raising the seats, but I don't think its viable. Too many mounting points and struts to deal with, and it wouldn't let the seat fold flat .
I'm not sure how much space I need between the magnet and the base of the box, but it looks like I can get box inside height to close to 6 inches. I feel like you could put a medium tall 10 in there. Maybe I'm wrong though I'm not a pro at this.qThen, I would rather have 4- 6-1/2's facing forward than two shallow tens. If shallow is your only choice, then, the shallow JL's are probably your best choice. Kind of pricey though.

Quick question? Would you rather run two shallow mount 10's or two standard depth 8's? I've never heard any debates about it.
If I can push that inside height dimension to 6 inches then, leaving half an inch below, I can get away with ~5.5 inch tall speaker. I could probably squeeze 2 12s in it, but would it be more efficient at 1.1 cubic ft shared to run with 10s? Understand also I do not believe I need 1500 watts for this system. Again, I could be wrong there. The subs will be 2 feet directly behind me. I like to feel it a little in my chest, but I'm not looking for it to make my eyes cross or control my breathing.½" between magnet and box should work. A pair of American Bass XD844's wired to one ohm with a 1,500 watt amp would work. A Taramps MD1200 one ohm version would work. I'm sure tgat there are some 10's out there that might work as well. Just try and avoid shallow mount at all cost.
