Default Looking for great subs with a shallow mount

I want to build a concealed enclosure in the trunk of my G35 coupe that will allow stock functionality for daily use, but which will be a showpiece at car shows with the trunk mat removed. The problem is that the stock tire well depth is about 6 1/2 inches. I have a JL 10w6 and was planning on adding another, but their mounting depth is 6.9 inches, which doesn't account for the top of the speaker and room for excusion, or 3/4 inch of MDF at the bottom of the box.

So, I'm looking for alternatives with a shallower mounting depth and yet still have good output (similar to or better than the 10w6), if possible.

I'll be powering them with a JL 500/1.

Any ideas?

Bing, a couple of your stealth installs gave me this idea.

I still need the trunk to be functional, but I want to have more pizazz than my current 4080 box and hidden components.
