For the record, I'm running a set of JL 8w7's. They are excellent in a box big enough for them but will sound like crap in an undersized box. Also, they seem to be both louder and cleaner in a ported box.
However, for shallow application why hasn't anyone mentioned Pioneer?

Just ignore the MAX power rating and use the nominal (RMS) when selecting an amp. I just have a hard time believing a 350W RMS sub will handle 1400 max. Seem good on space though, .5 - 1 cu ft for a 12 is tough to beat.

I have the Pioneer TS shallow sub in the 10" version. I bought 2 and only use one.
One is more than enough bump for me. I know its an apples to oranges comparison but...
12" Audiobhan 800rms in specifically made vented enclosure < 10" Pioneer in hand made .5 sealed box.

OH and the website fails to mention that the enclosure only fits THEIR shallow mount subs.
I was able to fit a Kicker CVT 10" in there with a 1/2" spacer, but I can't close the mat now.
I like the Kicker, I only have 300W going to it and it'll pound.

I'm trying to figure out how to fit a 13 inch tw5 in that space. At any rate i can't afford that right now. Is it possible to get a pioneer 10 to fit in the ED box? if so i'll just do that. Can't i just cut the hole and use a router to make it bigger? Someone let me know if this will work.
