    4" ruff country, 33" MT upgrading stereo
    So I've been slowly doing a complete audio system upgrade since the OEM head unit started randomly turning off.
    I only have 1 last thing to do and I'm having trouble making a decision on what shallow mount 10" subwoofer to get. Specifically fe Amazon (I have a credit) I'm pretty much between the Pioneer TS-D10LS2 & TS-A2500LS4, rockford fosgate p3sd4-10, kicker 48cwrt104.
    I want Clarity not to annoy those around me lol.
    I have a custom sealed box that will fit behind the seat (ebay) it's about .65 cubic feet of airspace.
    The amp that will be pushing it is a Pioneer gm-dx871 mono it has
    300 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms)
    800 watts RMS x 1 at 1 ohm.

    So whst shallow mount sub are you running?

    Don't know which one of the 3 will be the most clean sound?
    I only have between 100-180-ish to spend.
    The Pioneers have a good frequency range, but do not have DVC options. The rockford fosgate and kicker do. I have read that kicker might be "louder " but not more clear.

    For anyone wondering this is what I've got in it so far: Pioneer DMH-W2770NEX Headunit.
    A series 6x9 components in front, Alpine 6.5 S Series component in the rear doors. Ran by gm-dx874, sound matted doors. Sounds great I just want to be able to turn the bass down and the door speakers so I can turn them up more and still have great clarity

    I'm running 2 Kicker CompRT 10's pushed by a kicker CX400.1. I love it, they hit hard. I was worried about the shallow box and lack of ports but they sound great.

    Also, you may want to consider the STI tweeters in the dash, HUGE improvement in the high

    Had to take it out, I just cut the top off to dress it up a little. Plastic back of the seats came off too.

    I ran the shallow Rockford Fosgate P3 in a couple of Scion xb's that I used to have and was very happy. Loud but not annoyingly loud.
