I wanted to use the fox acoustics box and put two of them under my back seat, and that box has 6 1/8" mounting depth with the optional ring, but then the sub would hit the floor at full excursion. The top of the sub will actually sit about 5/8" above the plane of the bottom of the box, leaving you with only 3/8" of room for excursion. The JLw3V3 has 14mm of excursion, which equals .551" inches, which is more than 1/8" of an inch greater than the clearance you would have.

Looks like there is no way out of it without a seat lift or a very meticulously built box. However, only about a 1/2" seat lift would be required and then you could shim up the box...which is what I am thinking about doing

well in that case what is another decent quality subwoofer that would without doubt fit under my seat, because I don't want to go through the hassle of installing a seat lift. Also, what is your guys opinion on one more expensive subwoofer in the same price range as the w3, vs. two cheaper ones? Also, does anybody have experience with this sub, because it will definitly fit in the supercrewsounds box. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500SWS1...111&tab=review

Now think about how high the sub sits above that plane where the 6 1/8" mounting depth is measured from (basically the lip of the sup that protrudes from the box). Most subs are between 1/2" to 5/8" of an inch, and as I said earlier, 14MM is more than half an inch, so there is almost now way. We went through this a few threads ago, and I was on the OP of this post's side in that thread and had it explained to me, and it does make sense.

This sub http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500SWS1....html.....this amp....http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500MRPM..............the supercrewsounds single 10" box, and I am not sure about the head unit, I want something that won't look goofy in my truck but I don't want to spend alot of money. I am lookin at this one http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113MP44...wAll=Y&tp=5684 and also this one, but based on the opinions here, I don't know if Pioneer is good or bad or somewhere in between...http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130P410...wAll=Y&tp=5684 I like the look of this one better.
