I want to build a concealed enclosure in the trunk of my coupe that will allow stock functionality for daily use, but which will be a showpiece at car shows with the trunk mat removed. The problem is that the stock tire well depth is about 6 1/2 inches. I have a JL 10w6 and was planning on adding another, but their mounting depth is 6.9 inches, which doesn't account for the top of the speaker and room for excusion, or 3/4 inch of MDF at the bottom of the box.

So, I'm looking for alternatives with a shallower mounting depth and yet still have good output (similar to or better than the 10w6), if possible.

I'll be powering them with a JL 500/1.

Any ideas?

 

have you seen the JL thin lin: http://mobile.jlaudio.com/jlaudio_pages.php?page_id=213
mounting depth: 2.5"

 

^1 Those things are awesome but I haven't heard any live results as of yet.

 

The JL site says they won't be available until 3rd quarter 2007.

 

Try the Pioneers or Earthquake lines

 

I second the JL 's.

 

Elemental Designs is where its at, look at some of 16psibrick's floor installs

 

Rockford Fosgate has new shallow mount P3 subs in 10 and 12 inch with Dual Voice Coils. Speaking from first hand experience, these sound really good. Should already be at your local RF dealer.
