i need your input. does anyone have 2 shallow mount 10s under the rear seat?
 

ive got a kenwood 1000w amp i got a custom under the rear seat box for 2 shallow mount 10s for my 97 f150 ext cab i havent gotton subs for the box because i wanna know if they sound good under the rear seat and witch ones to get

yeaaah about 95% of the people who have ext cab/4doors..lol

Any idea what power that amp actually puts out? Most decent shallow mounts will need about at least 300rms a piece and I have a feeling that amp puts out nowhere near 600rms. But some to look at are the alpine shallows, BM shallows, or even some IDQ's should fit, you just gotta make sure you actually have the power for them.

i have 2 rockford p3210sd's under mine on an RE xtx3000.1 amp...the boxes are alittle small (about .5 cf) and the amp is only turned up about half way...im not sure what the amp actually outputs but its too much if i turn the gain too high....specs say 1000w @1 ohm rms...and i think 600w rms @ 2 ohms.......mine are wired for 2 ohms...they sound good but i think a custom box that is around .7 cf for each sub would sound better...

i moved my amps behind the seat so now only the subs are under there...im trying to build a new box for both subs that has alittle more air space..

^Go ported if you want an increase in output. They'll shine ported compared to sealed for those subs.

Not enough airspace to really port them under the seat effectively. You could do it but with a huge hump around 60Hz and a high tuning frequency, they will roll off too high for my liking.

The Dayton HO10 performs fantastic in .7 ported tuned to 30Hz.

Agreed. Unless you're a one-note kinda listener (rap, techno, etc.) sealed is a better solution for folks like me who have eclectic music tastes. Not quite as loud overall, but smoother, tighter, and more balanced over a wider frequency range.

It puts out aRound 550 or 600 I was thinking about gettting kicker cvt 10's

Polk MM10s are impressive for "regular" shallow mount subs. Good xmax, decent SQ and work well in small airspace.

This is actual frequency response for a pair in an Atrend box... powered off a Rockford Punch 500-2.

I had one shallow mount 12 behind my bench seat (when I still had it) powered by a 312 watt RMS Infinity amp. It worked awesome. However it needed more airspace to really bump, so if you're putting some under your seat, make sure seat motors, springs or other things don't limit it's airspace.
