the pioneer shallows work excellent( from experience) dual or single 4 ohm 350rms if I rememebr right
the 10" played very well in just 0.3-0.35 cu.ft.

3" mounting depth

Kenwood also has some..will let you know..they should be arriving in our store sometime this week

Thumbs up

EXILE have a 10" slim mount subwoofer..........works in 0.3-0.6 cu ft.
400 Watts RMS......Single 4 Ohm Only !! XT10

www.exilecaraudio.com

But it works way better than the Pioneer.....apparently, according to dealers who have tried both.

Much lower bass than the Pioneer.
$199 retail........but you wont find 'em on e-bay !!

They have a strict no-internet and no e-bay sales policy ....to protect their stocking dealers from price slashers and trunk slammers.

Finally a company standing up for the store front dealers.


Oh........they have a 12" version on the way soon too !!

is your amp STABLE at 1 Ohm........and still able to sound okay ??

A lot of amps say they are 1 Ohm stable.....but sound like crap doing it !!

Or just buy 4 of the subs.....then there is no problem....lol


Exile make amps that are designed to be run at 1 ohm.....if you are interested

The Kicker CVT's are phenomenal. Available in 4ohm or 2ohm SVC. 400wrms and they hit hard. I have 2 12" CVT's that are almost as loud as one 15" Solobaric L5.

I am very impressed with these subs. Hands down destroyed the JL, Pioneer, Earthquake and Rockford flat subs. In a similar test from the same amp.
