Which sub is right for me?
Alright. I got a 500/1 JL audio amp back from a friend that had it on loan, but couldnt pay. I was looking at putting either 1 10'' or 2 10'' subs under the back seat. Ive been looking around at shallow mounts, but havent seen many options. so far ive seen the Rockford P3 shallow, Kicker CVT, and a Pioneer Premier. I think I saw a JL shallow mount too, but it seemed kinda pricey. Im not out for killer base, just want overall better bass quality while watching movies. I mainly listen to rock and country, so nothing thats gonna shatter windows. Finally getting around to starting a decent audio build for my 01 screw. components and another amp comes next
I have the same amp and I am going to use it to push a single 10. I have been hearing alot of good things about Image Dynamics IDmax (will require a seat lift), their IDQ10 can handle the JL 500/1 and is said to have good SQ. I have been also considering a JL 10w3 but I will most likely go with image dynamics because I am putting their components in and would like to have the drivers match (pet peeve type thing). I am running there components off a JL 300/4.
In my opinion i would not try shallows, if you want to keep in a budget go for two 10" JL W1's. they will slide right under there and fit in any box and will sound great off a 500 rms amp. I found having only one sub doesnt balance out the sound waves since the sub is only on one side. Two subs sound much more cleaner and balanced.

yeah i definately cannot lift the seat, as there will be a baby car seat back there after july. I thought about picking up a set of w3's again, i had 2 10's in my mustang running off my 500/1. i didnt know if the w1's would fit under there or not. i havent had time to take any measurements to see how much room ive actually got. i plan on making the box myself too
