Is anyone running Pioneer shallow mount subs? Was thinkin about buying a couple of 10's. Anyone have any long term experience with these?

I have two of htem in my truck running off of an ARC Audio FD4100 amp. Worth every penny...

Any specifics that you want to know?

72GMC2500 · 05-27-2007, 10:01 PM

how deep are the boxes. I only have 6 inches or so under my seat

AceX · 05-29-2007, 06:02 AM

I'll get some exact measurements in the morning, but I know without a doubt my box is less than 6" deep. The airspace is right at 1cu.ft. for each sub.

i just put in two 10" vmx cerwin vega subs in my boys truck. they use the long through tecnology.. they are rated at 600watt rms, they have a titanium spyder wich is what usally goes first on your subs to my understanding. they are 5 5/8" deep.. i hooked each one of them to a nitro bmw 486 amp. these amps are rated at 600watts rms mono based into 4 0hms. they rock.. my head is pownding from listening to them a half hour ago. by the way can subs make you go deaf?

oh ya by the way thats 5 5/8" mounting depth. you need at least another inch for the front of the speaker so this may not work for you. i was thinking mounting depth my bad.

AceX · 06-29-2007, 01:54 AM

5 5/8" moutning depth is not shallow...

4" is that MAX that could even be considered "shallow mount"

The Pioneer's that I have in my truck have about 3.5" mounting depth.

72GMC2500 · 06-29-2007, 09:45 PM

ya i can fit 6 1/2" but the smallest box i could find for sale was 7 3/4" even though according to pioneer the 10" sub has a 3" mounting depth. where did you guys get your boxes? or did you make them?

AceX · 06-30-2007, 05:41 AM

I made mine.

See avatar for details...

72GMC2500 · 06-30-2007, 04:03 PM

i found a box made by bassworx for 100 bucks that will fit under my seat.

so i've decided to get 1 10" pioneer for now and maybe another later when i have the money. any suggestions for amplifiers?

AceX · 07-07-2007, 07:17 AM

Just about any amp pushing <250 watts RMS will do fine.

Louis72 · 07-15-2007, 03:54 PM

I just put 1 12" pioneer shallow moubt sub under the seat. It has an infinity 611a amp pushing it and it sound great. Lots of bass when I want it. I bought from buy.com for 94.00.

72GMC2500 · 07-19-2007, 09:22 PM
