Ok here goes i have 2 12inch p5 sony xplods ya i know everyone hates sony but any way i do like them and they are plenty loud but i am in a reg cab pickup and i have seen alot of shallow subs lately now i am lookin at the new sony ones and also the pioneers and i was wondering if anyone has had any experiance with them i like my system loud and i would like the xtra room but i dont really want to trade of on the loudness thanx for your input

 

The Pioneer one work very well as do Clarion's but they only come in 10" Out of the two mentioned the Pioneers would get vote.

 

The Pioneer and the Earthquake shallow mount subs have proven to be great speakers. Provided you have the right box for any sub, you will get good output.

 

if you dont care about looks why not go for the new kicker shallow sub.
some guy did a review on them compared to the clarion, and pioneer iirc,
and it was said the kicker pretty much dominated. I have no experiance with any of them, but i thought i'd put that out there since no one mentioned the kicker shallow.

 

Just to throw it in Kaption makes 10" Shallows also..........sound great in the right box

 

I have been hearing that the Comp vt's have been killing competitors subs left and right. As well, apparantly eD has a nice set though i dont know much about them...

eD's SQ10 is a great sub, for I believe 70 US shipped from www.elementaldesigns.com it's 3" deep, 9 mm each way excursion, and great sound... also runs 300 RMS at either single 2 or single 4 ohms.

also works in as little as 0.3 cubes sealed

 

JL Audio has introduced their slim line subs

Kenwood has some nice ones as well.

 

I have the Kicker CVT 12" shallow subs in the board and I am very impressed. I've listened to just about all the "flat" subs on the market now and hands down the Kicker is the loudest. The 10" is crisp and loud while the 12's are a little sloppy but really boomy.

CVT FTW
