Sub help please
I've decided i really miss the bass in my ranger, and want to put some subs back in, but one 10" wasnt enough before, I wanted to do two, but I also dont want to give up my entire back seat, so I was thinknig doing 2 shallow mount 10" subs, but I've never heard shallow mounts before. How do they sound?
I wanted to build a box that will fit under the jumper seats for when i actually use them because yes, I actually do use them at times, never really both at the same time, especially since I refuse to move my seat for anyone haha (what, im driving i want to be comfortable).
I was also debating doing a tower style box behind the drivers seat and putting 2 normal 10s in there, but that'd be a lot of space...
the shallow mounts are quite pricey (about $250 each) but I've seen them listed on ebay for half that. Are they worth it? can they still hit hard and give good bass? I dont want to get them and then be horribly disapponted, but I'm also not looking for something that'll blow the windows out on my truck...hopefully there are a few guys that run shallow mounts that can help out!
thanks!

Brother in law has a 12 in a shallow box behind his seat in his reg cab f-150, thumps better than two 10's It depends on the amp more than anything, if you have a good amp then you can get good sound. I would do the shallows. Also had a buddy that put two 12's under his back seat in his avalanche, and it kicked some ***. You won't be dissapointed.

15's in a ported box need a LOT of airspace. unless you go with sealed, but why would you when you can make your own box for cheaper and have it sound better?

I've got two Rockford Fosgate P1's, in a massive ported box. I originally had the system in my Bronco, so the big box didn't matter too much. However, it barley fits in the Ranger. It hits harder then I need it too. I will sometime buy a sealed box, that is smaller.
My buddy has a Sony Xplode low profile 10 inch in his Ram. I personally don't like the sound.
If you get a high quality 10inch sub, with an amp that can properly push the sub to its potential, it will be plenty loud. Probably louder then my two 12's.
