    Only problems I have seen with subs is from mismatched amp-sub combos.

    No need in getting us pics, all we will be able to tell you from that is: those are subs, that's an amp. We need to know what amp (rms watts, 2-channel or mono), then we can tell you what subs you need. Shallow mounts are one of those "only option" type deals in my opinion. If you have room to run a normal sub then do it. You can get better sound and volume out of standard woofers.

    Well. There's a Pheonix Gold 600 watt single channel running two pioneer premier 12's that were 350 rms/1400 max. I'm don't know how to set the amp so I obviously don't know if it was set right. Also, any easy way to estimate box volume?

    We need to know the what voice coils are in the subs and what your amp puts out at 4,2,1 ohm if stable that low and being a Phoenix gold it most likely is. I'm pretty sure the subs have been cooking for awhile. Not being ported? means you wouldn't be able to smell them. The Pioneer shallows do not take power really well. RE audio makes a very nice shallow mount they sound great to my ear but also are quite expensive. www.the12volt.com is very helpful when figuring out wiring and sub boxes.

    You actually gotta use a multimeter to set the amp at the proper level.

    So much stuff I don't know about electronics. Oddly enough, that was my second highest score on my ASVAB. Guess I need to go talk to one of the audio shops around here.
    I think these ( http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...-SW3001S2%7CS4 )are the subs that I'm gonna go with. Unless someone can suggest better ones from arund $220 a piece.

    I ended up getting the Pioneer 3001S4's. They sound excellent for being shallows. I'm still tweakin the settings on the head unit though. I'm extremely happy with them.
