All the subs I like will not fix my box. I really like the JL W3v3 but it will not fit in my box. Can you guys help me find a good sub that will fit in my box 400RMS or more

MY box Dimensions

Internal Volume .65cu/ft

Max Frame Dia 11.25"

Cut out Dia Limitation 9.184"

Max Depth 5.8125" (this is my problem)

This is the box I currently have

HELP!!
Do you really want that much pressure ect. in a plastic box? Just my .02...

I'd build my own box..... you might gain a db or two just by using stiffer materials

Rockford slim mounts, JL tw5 (hope you have a lot of cash), SI BMs...

Your options (as far as quality stuff) just about end there for 12s under the seat.

WAIT! Cant forget the Exile Shallows. Better than the RF's by far. Much cheaper than the TW5's. And are available now.

you could take me out back and kick me in the nuts before I would buy a RF subwoofer much less a JL. I'll probably wind up with Mags or BM's just waiting on reviews. If not I might be able to squeeze an Arc, Rainbow, or ID back there. I love the 15 but I actually need to think in terms of practical these days
