RE Sub questions

I have seen a lot about the RE 8" subs on here. Everything I have read has said that these are phenomenal subs for the price. I have a few questions though. I have a 99 super-cab that has the flip forward back seat. I have an Audiobahn 10" that was in my previous vehicle that will not fit under the rear seat of the F150. I want to get one (or two) of these RE 8's but want to make sure that I have all my ducks in a row before ordering them.

1-What is the mounting depth of the 8"?
2-Are they 4ohm dual voice coil design?
3-I have a JBL 75x2 amp. Would it be cool to have one of these 8's with one channel going to each of the voice coils? Or would ot be best to bridge it?
4-If I should bridge the amp, how exactly should I wire it up?
5-For space reasons, I would really like to only run one sub. Would I be pleased with the results of just one of these 8's?

Any help that you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

1. 4''
2. The new ones or dual 4 ohm
3. 72x2 at what ohm?
4. Need to know the above anwser.
5. If your use to running a 10'' you will want to port that RE8. Put in .50 cubs and tune it to 35Hz. Great little sub when boxed right.

1-Cool. It should fit under the seat with no problem
2-Great
3-I have no idea. I had it going to my 10" with one channel for each voice coil.
4-Same as above. How can I figure out at what ohm it makes that power?
5-I don't have a problem building the box, but I don't know how to tune it to certain Hz. Can you help me out there?

Thanks for your response.

Look at your manual for that. If you don't have it look on the amp. If still no luck, look that amp up on the web and you will be able to find out it's power ratings at diff. ohms.
If you give me the size of the box you plan on building, I can tell you what size port you need.
