Question Help on subs

I want to install subs under the seat of my 03 supercrew but i dont know what subs to get, i can get 6.5" of depth, anyone got ideas? I've kinda narrowed it down to JL Audio W3 or Kicker Comp VR, anyone know which is better or got any other suggestions, and also 10's or 12's?

jl destroys kicker. but still not the best. 12's are louder and hit a lower frequency

choose size based on type of music you listen to. you can find low profile subs for both sizes...

Techno/Trance/Rap - 12" subs are better for boom
Country / Rock - 10" subs are better for punch (drum beats)

I have a polk 10 under my rear seat (I think it will fit with your size requirements)

i have friends with 2 12" w3's and my 2 12" cvr's hit harder than theres, it all depends on the box and a ton of other factors so you cant just automatically say that, someone could have a w7 and if its installed wrong it wont matter b/c a kicker comp could beat it if installed properly, you just never know
