The JL subs aren't really suited to a free air application. Digital designs make an 8" sub that can be used free air and so do vibe, pioneer and kenwood. I personally would stay away from the latter two ad I have never liked their speakers. They tend to go loud not accurate.
Your best bet is to speak to some car audio places in your area (not Stratford or jb etc they just want to make a sale) and get their advice.
If the mac indeed does put out 72wRMS then that is heaps of power to go fairly loud. However I wouldn't count on the signal it produces would be very clean and if you were to push it there would be a chance you could ruin your new sub.
