Best Shallow Sub?
looking to add a little bump to my truck and want to stick them under the back seat (4 dr pickup) im trying to decide between the kicker cvt, rockford p3s and the jl 13 tw5.
anyone have any experiance with any of these?

I have played with 5, Clarion (sucked a$$), Earthquake (sucked a$$ even worse), AVI (was good), Pioneer Premiere (are surprising for the $) and Kenwood Excelon (which are outstanding). I have the new MB Quart in stock now as well, nice but they are going to be a far cry from the Excelon's for sure.

I have heard and like the Pioneer Premier, and the Aliante (horrible QC and $$$$) but when right one of the very best ... mine has voice coil rub and it still sounds great in the sub bass region (but the voice coil makes a fuzziness in the mid-bass region)
I have heard good things about the JL, Memphis and may have heard them in SQ competitors cars but I don't ask what equipment they run.
I am looking forward to hearing the Stereo Integrity BM series when it arrives

i have great success with the kicker cvt if and only if applied correctly....very small sealed boxes like kicker recommends are nasty...but if in the right box...are great...the avi's are good but fall apart, the clarions reek, the earthquake helped me get 3rd place at the world finals so i dont know what mr2nr is talking about and the only thing worse that the clarion is the pioneer.....and i sell kenwood and they havent made a good woofer in a decade so i have no reason to think they have started making a good woofer now, but like i said i havent heard them.....keep in mind im talking about sond quality and not output capability....some dont know the difference

Of the ones i have heard, the kenwood had the best output. The one that on paper should have much more is the JL. Larger cone and longer xmax usually have something to do with output capabilities. But when you can buy 2 kenwoods for one JL..... uh oh. But the mounting depth on the kenwood is much deeper than the jl.
hm..
