I'd get a JL audio W3, but I guess that isnt shallow mount so of those two I'd get the kicker. Not impressed by either though.

To use a sub in the stock location it must be an infinite baffle design, which allows for a huge box (your trunk) or a lot of airspace. When I was shopping for a sub a while back i remember 3 companies is what it came down to for me......image dynamics (http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com/), elemental designs (http://www.edesignaudio.com/index.php?cPath=1_21) and JL audio with their marine sub woofer. Most marine woofers are IB and work for our deck lid applications. What problem you will be running into is any decent sub woofer you will find is going to have a larger magnet and have clearance issues with the gas tank. You can fix this by spacing it up with a MDF ring or something, but that takes custom work and I don't know your level of expertise..
I got tired of trying to find something decent that would fit in the stock location so I ended up saying screw it and went with a JL 12w7 and made my own fiberglass enclosure in the trunk...
Hope this helps...

I swapped it with the factory sub, used same ring, and it clears the gas tank by about .25" - hooked up an aftermarket 300w two channel amp (bridged) with pioneer head unit. Sounds really nice.

Like i said, you can go with JL's 10" Marine line sub woofers if you want the JL product. Its designed exactly for what we have....

I'm going to try the DLS OA10. Heard some good things about it.
I bought the Pioneer Sub you mentioned in your first post TC and it does not fit. The weird shape of the magnet makes it impossible to fit in the stock enclosure unless you enlarge the metal sub hole in the rear deck. I was thinking of enlarging the sub hole and building a bracket for the sub but it would have been a lot of work for nothing. Don't buy it, it doesn't fit the magnet stays fat all the way down unlike traditional subs that taper in.
Get a Kicker or you can try the DLS OA10 like me. I'll let you know how it goes.

is the issue the physical connection to the deck for reason going with a ib subwoofer ? I've been out the audio game for a while so correct me if I'm wrong . I'm not getting the connection here. A subwoofer suspension is only going to move so many mm given it's xmax. For a low budget sub I don't see it blowing out like many have suggested here.
Hope this helps...
