why do you need a shallow mount sub?

Have you thought about those tube subs made by blaupunkt?

Soundstream have a 'Stealth' style sub, currently available in 10" and 12" I believe. They have a 13" one coming out this month or next month. Its only 200wrms so its not massively powerful or anything, but its only 2" deep and only needs a 1/2 cubic foot sized enclosure I believe.

most subs will fit into a 6inch deep of less enclosure, its the volume you need to worry about.

no point in having a 2inch deep sub, if it needs a 2cuft box...

your best bet would be to make a fibreglass box that fits to one side of the boot, right up against the panels.

There's a guy on eBay I think does those fibreglass custom looks.

But if you are game to do it yourself then it'll save you.

yer i wanted a good sub up around the 500+ RMS range, nd yer im pretty sure boxes for them arent small.

as for the blaupunkt subs, i kinda want sumthing that will last longer than a few months

herd they were **** as.

higher power subs often require a smaller box, but will only be as loud as a lower powered sub, in a larger box.

the power doesn't determine the size of the box, but a woofer that suits a small box will be less efficient, and therefore need more power to get just as loud.

what box dimensions can you actually fit?
