The girl is complaining about leg room, so I may have to get something else soon.
Thanks

Sure can. I can knock off what I pay for it which is $100 from my supplier bringing the cost to $500 plus shipping. I can not guarantee that what you pick will fit but here is a drawing of what I use to see if what you have in mind will work. I couldn't find a drawing for the JL sub (I am assuming you want to use your current driver) so you will have to measure it yourself. This is a recessed design so the sub will have to fit in the same pocket the Clarion does.
As for the JL I have not heard one in person. I can tell you that what I use is a 300W RMS sub verses their 150W RMS sub. They are both sealed design and look to have approximately the same internal volume. One thing I can say is that you can feel the music out of mine in your seat if you want. I did consider using their subwoofer in my design but twice the power and the cast aluminum frame of the Clarion won me over. My third choice was for a Rockford but it was not released when I designed the enclosure. I have always been a fan of Rockford and even turned down an engineering job from them back in the mid 90s which I have never forgiven myself for.
As for rattles I have not heard the box rattle at all. It is a tight fit in the rear back panel and is held in with 4 SS screws into the internal extruded aluminum frame.
Speaking of leg room the only drawback that I feel my system has is that you loose your last notch on the driver seat in terms of adjustment. I am only 6' so I don't need it but if any of you tall folks are thinking of one you will want to know this.
