Does look similar, although this box was designed alittle earlier than his.

A few updates..Got a good deal on a DC lvl 4 10 so it looks like that will be the woofer I will be using. Been having some issues with getting full power from ANY subwoofer. I redid the ground, swapped out amps, and woofers.. Even connected some speaker wire from my amp/vehicle and attached it to my brothers W7 in his car. Must be a RCA issue. Will diagnose it tomorrow.

Purchased a Glowshift volt meter to fill in the pods on my dash, would have ordered Defi but cost WAY to much. Also Bosch windshield wipers coming soon.

Box build will be coming soon

A couple shots of the DC lvl 4 10/crome dustcap. Did some pop testing with it to make sure the coils are good. And the digital volt meter to fill in the last pod.

thanks guys, box is finished and sub is in. Overall, for a ten it gets pretty loud..EVEN with the rear seats up because they dont fold down. Could most likely handle more power but it will do for now.

Pics will be up later. Most likely work on the dash tomorrow and get that volt meter in. Just gotta drill through the dash which i dont like.

Heres some pics of the box/sub. Had it in for a couple days now and it sounds great as of yesterday. Shiz if you read this everythings fixed. Had an RCA issue being plugged in on the wrong RCA input on the deck. Now everything works nicely.

FOR a single 10 with seats that dont fold down, this setup gets pretty damn loud.

Well just completed gutting all the wires out of the vehicle. Unfortunately I will be selling my Evo because of an accident i was involved in awhile back, so now my insurance skyrocketed. And i am not going to get PLPD on a vehicle like that. So now I am back to square one and once i sell it I am looking into a 2004 VW Golf GTI (black). The build in there will be much better, going to be running a set of oxygen 6.5s (active). And then either a set of 12s or a beefy 15. But overall i was impressed with my lvl 4 so i will be going with DC again.

Hove if you read this..can you direct me to the website you bought your oxygen's from.

Funny thing is i already have over 60ft of 1/0 coming..and no car. :lol2:

But i will be pretty excited to have a car that i can rely on..

thats it for now.

Good luck in your vehicle search. I am impressed with those cresendo amplifiers. I did not even know they were working on new ones. Sorry I didnt get ahold of you last weekend, I ended up driving a different vehicle up to GR, swapped out a vehicle at KOOL Chevrolet. Looking forward to the new vehicle build. Let me know if you want any help, I would definitely be willing to lend a hand.
