Driver selection for compact subwoofer with LT.

From the few WinISd simulations I did until now the CSS Trio 12, Rockford Fosgate P3D2-12 and Wavecor SW312TU01 look the best (in that order, from best to worse).

In fact the Trio 12 has the biggest Xmax and needs the least compensation from the LT.
 
I certainly cannot fit such a huge enclosure.
I compared the JBL to other subs and it doesn't perform all that bad. Quite good in fact. But maximum SPL it much higher on the CSS (it's got 20mm of Xmax).
Other parameters aren't that different from other subs.

That's exactly why I look at Rms figures too.
It's a measure for the ability to reproduce details in the signal.
Many car subs have very stiff suspension and conducting coil formers (increases power handling) which increase Rms.
