Does anyone have any experience with these yet? I'm toying with the idea of not taking up any cargo space in my element and going with one 10" shallow mount. I already know that these subs are extremely inefficient. But .6 cu ft ported has caught my eye and being able to have the box very shallow as well!!!

I'm not, just looking at small enclosure and clean sound. I would prefer more SQ this time around!!

Have you looked into a stealth box by any chance?

That's what my Infinity Kappa Perfect's use- .6 cu ft. You might look into one of those. A little quick math on the calculator revealed that the shipping boxes had roughly that internal volume- around .57-.58 IIRC. I filled the box with packing peanuts, and used that as my guide to size the fiberglass enclosures. Once they were complete, I mounted the woofers inverted so it wouldn't take any of the internal air space, and since they're in the rear quarter panels, the spare tire is fully accessible.

ED has finally put out their SQ10...shallow mount driver, less than 4 inches mounting depth, a real suspension and surround, unlike the Pioneers "air suspension".
I'd get the SQ10 for 55 bucks rather than the Pioneer for more than twice as much

I have last years Pioneer shallow in my wifes Excursion rear door with about .9cf. Driven by a Pioneer Premier 7150. It impressed me so much I am putting a complete Premier system in my Vette. I am very happy with it. It sounds good and hits hard.

with shallow wave subs , you have to have a sealed box when you go that small otherwise it wont work correctly. if you go to earthquake audio's website they have a blueprint of how to make a shallow wave box that small or you can send me a message all my info is on my site xtremeimage.net

There are lots of good quality subs on th market that only take .6 cubes of space to work. I have done a few installs with shallow mount subs and within two months the customers came back complaining that they herd better sound from other subs that weren't shallow mounts. Look at your options before you buy these subs. Just make sure you like what you hear and listen to other subs before spending your money on these. Good luck.

I have also used them in a 2 12" box in the back of a single cab dakota sport and they sounded great.... since they are thin i suggest making the box a little longer if you can and getting it up to about 1cubic foot... it will blow your mind at the performance... ------------- I dont care about who has the bigger name in the business... The Bigger the name the Bigger the price. NO BETTER QUALITY!!!
