I currently have 2 12" Image Dynamics in my car and they are in sealed box and together they must weigh about 70-80lbs or so, I would like to lighten this up some so I was possibly heading to the shallow mount sub route to help with this, now the question is... would this help or jsut be a waste of time?
Some are not bad and can put down junk subs anyday
Sound the same as a normal 12" well yes and no
Weigh less Yes most do as the magnets are inside the coil on most

Chances are with them subs you would have a hard time finding something to compare to in a shallow mount.May have luck with the new RE SL subs they are not bad.

If you realy want to loose weigh then take a nice sub and get the motor replaced with NEO motors.TCsounds(now audiopulse) does this as a custom order and they are just as strong if not more then a regular motor.Good part is you can cut a 70lbs sub down to 20lbs with just a motor swap
