I'm in the middle of upgrading my audio right now. Went with the pioneer 610BT head unit, Kicker component speakers powered by a Kicker 400w amp, Musicmoose dual 10" sub box, and two 10" DC Audio level 2 subs powered by a Kicker 1000w amp. I haven't heard a single note out of it yet (should be done tomorrow), but the quality of everything looks great.
As far as the DC Audio subs, I had never heard of them before getting on this forum, but I must say they look like some of the best built subs I have ever seen. The quality of workmanship is a 10+. I pulled them out of the box and just stared at them for like 5 minutes until my wife started making strange faces at me. If they sound half as good as they look, I will be happy.
Anyway, hope to have it all installed by tomorrow night and will post some pics and let everyone know how it all sounds.

They sound very clean and punch deep and hard. I had issues with the box and sub fitting right w/o hitting at xmax so abandoned it and went elsewhere unfortunately. I went Alpine PDX 1000.1 amp and some RF Shallow 10's.Give us a vid when you are done.

Well, got everything installed. Finished around 9pm on Sunday and left on vacation Monday morning so no time for pics. It was quite an adventure making everything fit. The head unit and speakers were eazy, but:
It was a pain to make the subs fit in the box. I had to use a spacer made of 5/8" board so the subs would not bottom out. Then I had to put extensions on the back of the box so the sub would not hit the floor. This made it too big to fit under the seat so I've ordered a 2.5" seat lift to make it all fit. I also mounted the amps behind the rear seat wich was not too hard, just took some time to get right.
it's all coming together, but took about 9 hours of work to get everything done, I'll post pics next week, cause I'm on vacation right now. As I said before, it's well worth the effort. The subs kick hard and fast. I am really happy with them.
