First sorry if high jacking, I want my 06 to sound like that, If I buy Cerwin Vega Vmax 10" subs for my foxbox will I get that same boom? My amp will be 900 watts rms.

That Nissan Frontier isn't absorbing near as much as our trucks do, and while it will sound great, you won't see that effect outside.

When parked in my driveway, my two Kicker 10's rattle my bedroom window...which is at the back of the house. Almost 80 feet away, through an entire house. Neighbors hate my new temporary setup haha.

I have (2) Digital Designs 1508's in a box that I built and they sound great. People have told me they sound like 12's. I'm running them off an AudioQ AQ2200 with the gains set at 1000 per sub. The thing with the 1500 series is that if you want to upgrade to a bigger size later, you can send the 8's back to them, and they will use the magnet VC and everything off those subs and it will be much cheaper. If you are going for sound quality, and since you have the depth issues, then I would go with Image Dynamics. However, I still get good SQ out of my 8's but they do get LOW. Out of the flat subs that you listed, I would choose the Memphis S class. Just my opinion.

you will most likely have to build a custom box cause the Vmax subs are not exactly shallow mount

and a 900 watt RMS should suffice for now but i would recommend an AMP somewhere around the 1200watt RMS Range

i will see if i cant get a video of my sub up here in a few

ok here is a video of a Single Cerwin Vega Vmax 10" in a custom sealed box powered by a 550Watt RMS 1100 Watt Peak Kenwood AMP
Speakers are 6.5" Fusion Componets powered by a 350Watt Kenwood AMP
HU Pioneer AVH-P4000

and it was all setup by me

WARNING: the 1st 15sec or so are in cab along with the last 30sec or so it a little loud and distorted so you might wanna start with low volumes

im suprised i beat you to sayin this! save up for some SI BM

Why? If you just want loud and only have room for a single 10, then that Cerwin sub would be alright. Has a solid 19mm xmax and a .7 cu ft requirement. However, 2 average 10s in the fox box would likely be louder with double the cone area. Not to mention the IDQ has just as much throw as the Cerwin sub, and 2 of them would fit in the fox box. Hell you could maybe fit 2 SoundSplinter RL-i 10s in the Foxbox, that would thump pretty good.

And yes the BMs most likely being the best underseat option.

The JL W0 is a very good speaker with clean bass for rock and it bumps when you crank up the rap. I have one in my supercrew under the seat with the correct airspace and 300watts RMS and it blows my buddies two 10 inch kickers out of the water, but his are comps, not CVT's. I think the kickers can probly take more abuse and distortion, but JL's are much cleaner. Never heard a memphis in person, so im no help with that one. Whatever you choose, just make sure you have adequate power from the amp your using and im sure it will sound fine! The amount of power used can make or break a system!
