Fosgate or Kicker?

Hey guys I like my trunk space so I am keeoing the stock box that the pioneer was in in my SS but I am going to swap either the Fosgate P3 Shallow or the Kicker CVT shallow into it. My sponsor is giving it to me for free so dnt say anything about me wasting my money. I just simply wanna know which sub u guys think is a better sub?

Kicker might be a bit louder, but the fosgate is going to be much better quality.

You'll get much, much better sound from Fosgate. I see both companies in two different tiers. You might get more sound from Kicker, but Fosgate will blow it out of the water in sound quality.

EDIT:
I've had first hand experience with the shallow Fosgates... and I love them. My friend has them in his Silverado.

Fosgate without a question.. Kicker has alot of problem with the tensile leads coming apart, and their magnets falling off, plus they sound like ****

either way its not going to be very loud so you might as well go with the sub with the better SQ

do that^^^^ plus if you want it to be louder in the stock box you will need to reinforce it to make it more rigid so it doesnt flex
