Best sounding 10" shallow subs?

I have a 2006 Fx4 Supercrew and I plan on buying a prefab (without the Subs) box to fit under the the rear seat. I know there are a couple of websites selling the boxes, but which one is the best for the money? I plan on using 10's so I don't have to jack the seat up, and want to pick the best subs for the box. I listen to mostly Hard (Metal) Rock, but some Hip Hop. For right now I have the stock HU and a Infinity 475a Car Audio Reference 4Ch Speaker Amp Amplifier, Infinity 682.9CF 5" x 7" (6" x 8") 2-Way KAPPA Series Speakers for rear doors, Infinity 680.9CS 6" x 8" (5" x 7") Speakers Component KAPPA Series for the front doors, and I'm gonna power the subs with my Crunch Drive Series V-600 (600 RMS 1 ohm stable) Amp. I want to get the best sound for the Buck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I currently have a 12" pioneer premier shallow. I am not impressed. I want to try the RF. The shop that I bought it from will let me swap it out, so in another week or so, I should have the RF in the truck. If you listen to rock (like me), I am not sure that shallow subs are the way to go. The pioneer moves alot of air, but just doesn't sound right to me.

Image Dynamics IDQv.2 is only about 5.25" deep, and is the best sounding driver i've heard to date. I also listen to mostly metal.

I have 2-10" Kicker CVT shallows. I am happy with them but would like to try the Image Dynamics. When I bought my Kickers I had a box that would not fit the ID's. Now I have a Superccrewsound with added depth and am wanting to swap the Kickers and try them out.

that box is very large and makes great sound with the 10s. i had to do NOTHING with the seat and the box is completely tucked away. im very pleased with the way this turned out. Hope this helps some!

THE POWERFUL NEW 2007 KENWOOD KFC-W2511 "10" 1,000 WATTS CHROMED OUT CAR SUBWOOFER DOESN'T JUST HAVE THE LOOKS OF A STRONG AND POWERFUL SUBWOOFER, BUT IT ALSO PUTS OUT CLEAR, POWERFUL, AND DEEP BASS. (KENWOOD ADDED 200 EXTRA WATTS MORE THAN LAST YEARS MODEL! AT NO EXTRA COST!!)

KENWOOD IS KNOWN TO MAKE THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE, AND BEST SOUNDING CAR AUDIO EQUIPMENT. THESE ALL NEW WOOFERS HAVE MASSIVE MAGNETS, AND RUBBER SURROUNDS TO ELIMINATE DISTORTION.

THIS SUB REPLACES LAST YEARS KFC-W2510, AND THIS ONE IS HIGHER POWERED, HEAVIER, AND HAS A DEEPER BASS RESPONSE, BECAUSE IT HAS EXTRA CONE EXCURSION.



Those are some rediculous statements. But actually those woofers aren't too bad for the price. Although you can do ALOT better.
