A friend of mine from work listened to my setup about two weeks ago, he said he wanted better sound in his car but couldn't spend much, I asked his budget and he gave me ~$300 as a limit, so I told him I'd get something for him.

I worked on a design, and approached him with a 12" SSA DCON S4, a Rockford Fosgate 200.2, and an enclosure 2.25 cubes tuned to 32 Hz. He liked it, and gave me the go ahead.

The amplifier was the first to arrive, no pictures of it though because it was shipped to his house.

Then we got the DCON, and I much say it's an impressive driver. I wouldn't consider it entry level at all! It is extremely well built, now time for the woofa porn :)

Then we started working on the enclosure:

He wanted to paint it black temporarily, and carpet it later on. I'm trying to talk him into letting me build an amp rack on the side of the hatch, I think he'll break down soon since we have plenty of leftover MDF ;)

I must say, this DCON is very impressive, being such an overbuilt woofer it is performing far beyond my expectations. It's incredible how loud it gets and sounds SO smooth, I'm jealous of him now. We started playing some rap because I wanted to see the low frequency response, and it was LOW, it didn't take much power to get this woofer to drop and that was impressive, it was equally impressive in the upper frequencies as well, we played some Police and the kick drums were incredible, that's when my friend jizzed in his pants(or so he said). :)

I have bought 15's and 18's and dont have any stickers so I think maybe you get them on the third pair of woofers. I only have 2 more to buy, your friend has a long way to go.
