Oh so because it's from ID it's the best choice? That's funny considering the thread starter still doesn't know how much depth he has to work with and considering the vehicle that driver might not even fit. Oh, and he also never listed what type of material he listens to on a regular basis OR what he wishes to achieve with this audio system. Resonant Engineering has made solid, excellent performing drivers since the start also. Why don't you tell him to buy anything from them also?
If you were to ask someone from ID they would tell you that this driver they have put together is not in the same league as the current IDQ in terms of SQ but it will outperform it down low in overall output. The correct option depends on the listener.
I'm not trying to be mean to you but seriously; how can you recommend a driver for this application that has not even been auditioned by anyone for an application that you know nothing about?
Nothing against ID products but a driver from ID isn't always the best choice for an install.

Put in your choice of sealed box between 0.35ft^3 to 0.62ft^3
Thats all I'm going to say."

Alright, well ive just arrived home from doing some more shopping. Went to a few local shops and checked out many more possible options. I was impressed with the 10" JBL GTO1002D, especially because it has a low mounting depth and it is a nice sounding sub at a reasonable price. Any opinions on it?. I may just end up going with one fairly powerful 10" instead of two, im really undecided at this point. Anyone have any experience with the above listed sub. Any other suggestions are welcome. Thanks guys

Does that really sound like a good judgement call?
Sorry 04silvltr3, I have no experience with that JBL driver.
If you are building the enclosure yourself I would suggest taking the measurements now and seeing how deep of a driver you can fit in there. Also decide what size and how many you wish to use. What kind of music will you be playing and how loud do you wish it to get? Is great sound quality your goal or do yuo just want it to be as loud as possible? How much power will you be running? What's your budget?
A driver that may sound good for someone else in their install may be completely off to you in yours. More variables are needed to give you a decent list of choices for your install. That's why you don't have a huge list of choices on here already and without those questions answered you're not going to get any beneficial answers.

What kind of music will you be playing and how loud do you wish it to get?
Pretty much every kind of music there is. I listen to all kinds of different stuff so something that is good all around is what im looking for. I want it loud, not crazy or anything but i do want a solid punch from whatever i end up getting.
Is great sound quality your goal or do yuo just want it to be as loud as possible?
Its basically a toss up. I want it loud but i also want good sound quality, but ill sacrafice a little quality to get a harder hit.
How much power will you be running?
The amount of power will depend on the sub(s) i get. Somewhere between 600-1000W if thats not too general.
What your budget?
Budget is fairly low. Im not looking to get into something very pricey, just soemthing decent that will get the job done. I wouldnt mind going with a solid single 10' and an amp with sufficient power to push it.
Hope this helps. Thanks for your time man!

Your best bet is to work this problem from the end and not the start. Let's say that I work this problem from the start as you are going about it.
(1) pick and buy sub
(2) pick and buy amp to match sub
(3) find out that they have no canadian warranty as they were bought on line
(4) rebuy when the things break as there is no warranty in Canada.
(5) build box to fit sub
(6) put box behind seat
(7) box does not fit so slide seat all the way forward
(8) box now fits
(9) try and sit down and your 6'0 will not fit
(10) throw it all out and start again
What you MUST do is simple
(1) put the seat into the postition that you are comfortable with
(2) cut a cardboard template for behind seat (tells max mounting depth)
(3) allow space infront of sub so surround does not smack on back of seat
(4) recut cardboard to allow for this
(5) measure the internal volume of the box based on 3/4" mdf
(6) choose sub to match the airspace available
(7) choose amp to match the sub
(8) purchase both from a authorized Canadian dealer
(9) know that the system is properly matched together
(10) sit back and enjoy
A good salesperson or installer will recommend things that they are familiar with or know that will work for the task at hand. I want my customers to buy something once, properly, the first time rather than buying the deal. You need to figure out if you want the deal or the system, then decide on which way you want to build the system, the right way or the wrong way. Ball is back in your court.

^^^^^Getting both the deal and the system can easily be achieved. That's one of the best parts of having an internet forum: so you don't have to pick which of the shops in the area that you think are trustworthy. And so many of them are not.
Can we please not turn this into another "you have to buy authorized" or "support Canadian retailer's" thread. It's been done to pieces already.
04silvltr3 - good answers so far. Still need those measurements though as they really are quite important to narrow down the choices.
