Default fitting 2 10's in a regular cab

got an 08 reg cab. i want to squeeze in TWO 10's. I was thinking since there is so little space between my seat and the back of the cab maybe a shallow mount subwoofer would be better.
Or do you think i could put TWO normal 10's and not have my seat up much?

Also if i run two subs ima have them in one big box in the back so that way the subs get there potential out.

any suggestions on subs i listen to mostly rap and i want it to knock but i dont want to go all in.

Also i got a jl 12" sub wrapped in a box for an extra cab with a 500 watt bazooka strapped to it.

i'm not sure how big a reg cab is but look into the JL Audio 10s or 12s because they come in pretty small boxes and aren't shallow mounts. I have two 10s in mine and i love them because there insanely clean. Some of my friends systems hit harder but because of the rangers tiny cab its just as loud in my truck.. if you want all out LOUD go with kicker, if you want super clean go with JL Audio, if you want something in the middle go with Alpine (alpine is pretty expensive but theres a reason for that). theres a lot of other really great subs out there too but around here those are the most popular. Rockford Fosgate is good too but no one sells those around here.

i went to the audio shop today i found out i can squeeze a 12" in there.
so ima buy one bad ass 12 i listened to them and ima buy a 130$ memphis sub. i know its an off brand but i liked the way it sounded. it sounded so clean fo some reason.

But i just wonder what its gonna sound like in a box thats tiny and not a giant ass ported box. also i got rear speakers but i think ima change out my door ones also for some 100$ ones that are 2 way and there loud!

But then again i have a jl sub in my garage 12" idk if itll fit but ima measure it when im not working because its in a box made for a ext cab.

should i custom make a box that takes up the whole back seat?

well since the JL 12 is FREE i'd definitely do that... if its not loud enough go get two memphis 12s with a much bigger amp and then you'll be bumpin

lol the 12 probably aint gonna be free.
But if its not loud enough ima get that memphis and call it a day.

what about box ideas? should i make a box that covers all the room in the back seat?

or will something like this provide enough space that the sub will perform good?

i have a 2002 reg cab and i fit 2 12s but i did lose some leg room so 2 10s= half the volume= no loss in leg room its definitely possible =)
