wasting your money honestly. shallow mount subs have never impressed me at all. double the price for half the sound imo. Just get a 3" seat lift and get a sealed box built for under your seat and that way you can fit a pair of 12's... most 12's. i personally dont like sealed boxes so i had a ported box built for 2 12" memphis m3's. a normal sealed box is relatively inexpesive. my local shop had my box custom built with the seat lift for $200 even. shop around and make sure you get EXACTLY what you want.

Those are bad spec wise, shallow mounts. If you don't want a seat lift, like me. Look at the Pioneer shallows or the Polk.

well JL makes really good quality subs so your also paying for quality.....but which JL shallows are you talking about the new 13 TW5's? those are gonna cost you a arm and a leg lol... and I personally didn't like the pioneer shallows but thats just my 2 cents

The rockford shallows arent bad, and 240 for two of em isnt too bad of a price. But I wouldnt buy a box that was 5/8'' mdf. 3/4 FTW!!
