Well unless its an extended cab I wouldnt get any of those, but rather the Pioneer shallow mount subwoofer, the Elemental Designs Shallow mount subwoofer (BARF) or the Tang Band shallow mount subwoofer.

If it is extended cab, the Type R.

The Type R's are going for about 100 bucks on ebay, for the price you really cant go wrong.

Out of the three you listed I agree with MA the Type R would be the better bet. It can get really loud and pounds out fairly low bass.

Are you looking to go sealed or ported??

The R's really shine in a ported enclosure, if you have the room.

Yes that is true. I got a buddy who owns a shop bout twenty miles from me.
He had a Q-logic underseat box for his Silverado with 2 R 12's. His box was sealed, but they sure did hit good.

they do ok in a sealed enclosure, but putting them in a ported box is like kicking open the 4 brl!

And it will do well off about 600 watts, so your stock alternator will probably be ok.
