Well here it is. Like I said that box is crap, and takes away from what it really could do. It sounded good tho, and he loved it, so thats all that matters. Gotta say the amp wasn't to much fun to hook up. Att first it seemed like a good ideal to have them ruber garments cover the terminals, but it's a hassle to take em on an off. And you have to run the wire through them. I also cut a huge gash in my finger from the amp to. I took of the garments and was movin it around and it got me real good.

So I'm giving this amp a 5 or so on install. It seemed like a good ideal like I stated before, but it wasn't really worth it in the end. I gotta say the kicker design with the shrouds I like a lot, can't see any wires since it covers it up. Anyway pics, you can only see the sub's wires, and I should have just made them long and ran them back through with the rca's then like under the box then hooked it up and you wouldn't have seen any of. But it was to late to think of that, as I just wanted to be finished.

So overall it wasn't to bad sounding, he liked it, but I knew it could have sounded way better if it was in the right box. I told him to make sure he’s easy one the volume since the amp is rated at 400 watts, and the subs rms is 200. Sounds real good for what it is. I also hid the remote wire more, so you can't see it like you can in the pic.

Oh and on a side note, he had an audiobahn comp set with out an X-over. The tweets were hooked up on the rear channels on the cd player, and the mid’s to the front. I asked him were he got them, and if it came with one. He said no, and that he got them off ebay. I went ahead and told him why he needs one, and what it does. So yes you can hear the tweets sputter from the music. Gosh do I hate those noises.

I think I'm going to put my box in front of my seat :) I should have enough room to get 10s in there w/o screwing up my legroom.

It's good to see that it goes further than just the forum.

I wish you luck.

Well as the title states..........I was sitting in class today, and my background on my computer is the Elevation audio home page. So he saw it, and asked if I knew about car audio. And I told him I did. Well looks like hes going with a single 10" running of about 250 or so watts. I tried to talk him into buying my 8's :) but he wasn't sure. So anyway, I'm gonna sell him one of my Arc Audio 10's. He wants me to build him a box, but I'm not to sure about that since I'm not the best at doing that. I mean I built my boxes and if they were off just a lil bit I fixed it and it didn't bother me.
Anyway If anyone has a free 10 box I'll pay for shipping. He told me a guy he knows was gonna sell him a box for 80 bucks!!!! I was like nooooo. I have a cheap 10 box in my garage but that wont do that sub justice. Well he said he would give me 100 bucks total for install, sub and making the box. But if I can find a box for a ten for free then it would be worth it.
Oh, I also printed out the good bad ugly list for him so he doesnt make anymistakes on buying something crappy. BTW this is a 98 chevy s-10 single cab. well thats my story for the day.
