the shallow mount subs are fine. they do a great job, BUT it is not the same as the sub you were initially inquiring about. You have to decide what you want to do with the space available. There are subs not considered SHALLOW mount that will fit in there. How about a pair of 8's in a PERFECTLY built enclosure. you would have great transient response and play lower than the SHALLOW 10's can do to excursion limits of that design. If you have never heard what a properly built ported 8 can do then you have been missing out. Personnaly I get a bigger kick out of knocking people over with install quality than quantity. And I have never had a customer regret yet. Pick out well engineered components placed in great locations with care to install with perfection in mind and you can be just as happy with the 8's( maybe even 4 of them WOW) than you would be with the 10's.

My friend has 2 Diamond D1's in a dual chamber ported box I built for him with a Hifonics 2 ch amp @ 300w rms each. The volume of each chamber was about 1.5 cuft and the ports were 4" pvc 12" long which tuned it to about 35~40 Hz. I built them based on diamonds recommended ported enclosure before I even new about this site. I can hear him coming a half mile or so away and they are loud and clear inside the car also. I wish I would have tuned the box a little lower though(30~35Hz), they would sound a lot better I think. He bought them in a sealed box and they weren't that loud, but he also had a pos amp only giving them 150rms if he was lucky.
I like the idea of something like a JL 8W7 (or 2) in a well designed ported box with about 500 Watts of CLEAN power going to it(them).
I wouldn't go for the Jensen amp. I can tell you what a HUGE difference a quality amp does make.
Also just about anything that you put in that truck of yours will be loud as bananas because of how small it is.

I am in agreement with zO3. You seem to be focused on LOUD though which is different than what you had mentioned earlier. Remember LOUD is relative. If you take that setup he gave you with the hifonics amps and the 8's, and then dynamat your truck very well, you would percieve it as LOUDER based on a lower noise floor. Your truck is small, and a well built box( ported in your case as it seems you want the additional boost provided by tuning the port) with 8's or whatever will fit should surprise you. measure the space again, make a chipboard box to see if it all fits and then no guess work. with you earlier measurements you could fit 4-8's easy....thats alot of cone area.

So if you know what fits how can I/we help you. Either of those subs will perform well for you. Now if you want balance and enjoyability across different genres you need to get the front stage correct with some sound deadening.
