    If those aren't shallow enough you may need to take all the plastic bins in the back and get a custom box. Not sure what the size difference is but jl w3's fit back there. They also make a steal box for 2 10's

    I bought a 10in box of Amazon and used a jigsaw to make it 12in and run the low profile pioneers

    Did the same thing and bought a box off Amazon. But I just ran 10 in subs. Box fits super tight.

    This doesn't make sense to me. To me it reads that the box is deep enough fo the speaker, but it almost sounds like they routed the back wall for the magnet to recess into.

    Woofers NEED a specific volume to work properly and give you the rated frequency response.
    I've seen woofers tear the surrounds off cages because the enclosure was too small.

    thats why low profile subs are designed to work in small spaces. the cubic feet required for my subs are slightly over the sealed box that takes up my entire back seat area

    That still doesn't explain the 6", 6.3" magnet difference that's causing you issues. Is the back of the enclosure routed out with a 6" recess for a magnet?

    And have you thought of going with a ported enclosure?

    not enough room for 2 subs with a ported enclosure, not enough airspace

    Just run a non ported box with 2 10in subs. I did and it sounds good and clean. Not going to "boom" but it will have bass

    I built my own enclosure from MDF (and fiberglass) that sits behind the rear seats. I run one 10" sub, JL Audio 10TW3.
    I removed the plastic behind the seat and custom fit and cut things. As I was building it, my enclosure was turning out to be just borderline on the interior volume I needed, so I decided to just go ported and make it as large as it needed to be. My seat doesn't fold all the way up, but I keep my seats down 99% of the time and it's definitely out of the way for me. One of my favorite things I added for sure.

    I have a pair of 2x 10” JL Audio W3 and they hit hard for a sealed box.
