Do you know how much mounting depth you'll have in your enclosure? will it be ported or sealed? do you know how much Volume you'll have?

You can't really choose/suggest a subwoofer without these vital specifications of the box you'll be using because every subwoofer is different.

I dont have much space so its going to sit on the passenger half of my bench seat and the passenger foot space, id say my moubting depth would probably be anything under 14 inches maybe a little more

ok that bit of information changes everything cuz im sure everybody thought you wanted something to fit behind the seat. spl and small spaces dont typically go together. in that case you should have at least 2.5 cubic feet to work with. what is your budget and what kind of power do you want to have? what upgrades in your charging system do you plan on doing?

if you plan on competing with this system then here are some things to think about .depending on which competitions you plan to attend they might class you out by woofer size or power class. so that is something to think about when planning your system because you dont want to have 4000W on a single 12 when you are competing against someone with two 18's on 4000W.

I think theres more like 4 cubic feet available if not more, as far as budget and power I plan on running anywhere from 1000-3500 rms and make whatever upgrades to the electrical system that are needed, also would apreciate amp suggestions

Ive been talking to the guys that run the comp up here and the class is based on woofer size and count

I know they also take into account in certain competitions the height of the box, battery count, alternator count.

for example:

https://www.soundoff.org/rules.htm there's also other rules above the word USACi CLASSES & DIVISIONS in Adobe PDF

https://www.iasca.com/page/WebsiteMembers

for an SPL setup this is just what I would recommend for a Pretty intense SPL system without too much on the pocket. and ALWAYS READ REVIEWS.

MOFO is a GREAT Budget SPL subwoofer & a solid Amplifier to go with it

High SPL very worthy subwoofer

There are also companies like FI BTL, AscendantAudio, that have Insane SPL. look into those and the BOX Specifications they have.

I put the Amps with the subwoofers I thought fit best IMO. Also do the Big 3 upgrade to your electrical system (with 0-gauge wire), Look it up on The12volt and also on google. I should have a thread on here about How to do my BIG 3. Have/get a relatively new engine bay battery and looking at the Power you want to also add a Battery in your trunk next to your amp with a RELAY in between the two.

If applicable get an High Output Alternator before the New batteries or at the same time.

Goodluck!!
