I have a 2018 supercrew current amp 400 rms. I installed the Kicker 10" reflex sub (43tcwrt104). It is not the deep bass sound I am looking for. 2 Questions. For under the seat I am seeing options for full size 10" or shallow mount 12" which will give a better deep bass sound? What is a good pre fabricated sub box? (ex foxbox, sub thump, qpower, supercrewsound) I have seen the boxes by mti but not ready to invest that kind of money until I find I sound I like.

Fox box is miles ahead of both sub thump and super crew sounds. Both of the latter companies do pretty shoddy work. Personal experience. The sub and box you choose will be dependent upon one another. But, shallows these days are pretty damn impressive, especially in crew cab trucks so a full depth sub isn't completely necessary unless you are set on that.
Stereo Integrity is based out of NC so you'd be supporting an American company and Nick Lemons, the owner, is a great resource. Give him a call and chat! He's currently building me some custom mids and tweeters for my truck. Can't say enough about his customer service, knowledge, and manufacturing techniques. All of his products are works of art.
Here is a review I did recently on the MKV's. One of the enclosures for my truck houses three of these and they are breathtaking for a shallow mount sub. Stupidly loud and crystal clear I push these things hard and they just keep getting better. https://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum...362354?page=16
Generally, a larger sub will be able to play lower than a smaller one. If deeper bass is more important than total output, I'd go with a single 12" over two 10".
I think your best options would be the BM MK V that dh suggested, or the JL 12TW3-D8.
Either one can fit behind the rear seats in a sealed box. The JL can also be installed underseat in a ported box if you prefer.
Both are highly regarded for their sound quality and are similarly priced.
Built to take two 10" shallow-mounts but I made spacers and put my old MTX Jackhammers in it. Driving them with an old school Punch 100.2.
It's actually too much bass for the truck. I've got the LC2i turned all the way down, the gain all the way down on the amp and the fade a bit toward the front just to keep from going deaf.
What kind of music do you listen to OP.. i don't think i saw that.. maybe i missed it.. if you want a sub to go deep .. its not necessarily the size of the sub but the brand and model sub... buddy of mine has 4 10's in his Titan and i told him it wasn't the amount of subs but the brand and type.. he is shocked my truck with 1 10 is louder and deeper than his 4. I personally listen a lot of Hiphop, Dancehall, EDM, R&B and Deep House .. some Top 40 .. i found the IDMax 10 to suit my needs .. but it requires a deep box and seat lift kit. I have the supercrew sound box.. but as dh said the quality sucks.. i ended up having to add screws to reinforce the box myself.. but any of these box builders can build a box to your spec or needs
