Shallow Car Subwoofers

Shallow car subwoofers give you a way to add bass when space behind the mounting surface is limited. We carry 8-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch options, with different power ratings and voice-coil configurations to help you match a subwoofer to your installation and amp.

How to choose a shallow-mount subwoofer

Start by checking the available mounting depth, then compare the subwoofer’s size and voice-coil setup with your enclosure and amplifier. The Audiopipe TXX-FB1000-S4 is a 10-inch model with a 94 mm mounting depth, 300W RMS handling and a single 4-ohm voice coil. For another 10-inch option, the AudioControl Space Series 10 handles 400W RMS and has a 3.5-inch depth.

Shallow 10-inch or 12-inch subwoofer?

Choose a size that works with your available space and bass goals. A 10-inch sub may suit a smaller installation, while a 12-inch model gives you a larger cone. The Rockford Fosgate Prime R2S Series 12 has a 3.602-inch mounting depth and dual voice coils. Check your enclosure’s requirements and the final impedance your amplifier supports before choosing a coil configuration.

Match the subwoofer to your system

RMS power handling and impedance are useful starting points when pairing a subwoofer with an amplifier. Make sure the enclosure and wiring plan suit the selected model, and leave enough clearance for installation. Our team can help you compare the listed specifications and narrow down options for your vehicle.
