Make sure you have enough room for the port to breath. Have you contacted Rusty from DC audio via email to hear his opinion yet?

Are you looking for flat response, more lows or louder?

How did you do the port? 6.8 cubes at 33 hertz should hit pretty good on that level 6. What kind of amp? How is it wired up? Just doesn't seem right. This thing should be rattling your teeth.

Wow, could you post a picture of that box in your teggy? It would really help give me a better idea of

whats possible with these cars.

I have 2 Brutus brx2400.1d linked together at 2 ohms load

My DC Audio Level 6 sub is 1 ohm I wire it at 2 ohms

The port is 4"wide by 16" high by 16.6 long

I'm planning on getting a crecendo bc5500d, it hits hard but not too hard I seen this subs on YouTube videos I think mine is not there, also it sounds like is not hitting lows, I think is the box that I built I'm not happy, that's why I'm asking for support, thanks

Is there someone here that makes enclosure box for this DC Audio Level 6 sub, i would like to make another box with your help, just help me design it, I'll build it if I can't make it work, then I just buy it from somebody here, I don't mind trying, it's a hobby for me and I have fun doing it, so if someone wants to help me design it, I'll appreciate, thanks

Problem is your port is to far away from the rear hatch


My teammates teggy

That's nice! It looks like top fire is the way to go for these cars, instead of rear fire, would you say? It looks like there's more room that way, cause these cars get smaller torwards the tail. Thanks for posting pics. I have the same car, and am trying to figure out what can be done with the space back there, with the rear seats up.

Use aero ports

i have the Dc XL 18 M1 and im running it in 5-5.2 cubes net with a single 8" aeroport. Its suprisingly musical in that size of a enclosure. I need to give it more power

They would love to see you get it right and post a vid/pics on their facebook of a single level 6 in action..

I'd say your main problem lies with the hifonics amps. If you have it in a smaller enclosure, it'll basically be even weaker then before with less lows.

I just talked to DC Audio tech support, I was told that my box is too big my sub is not performing good because of the box, they recommend to put the sub in 5.5 cube feet, or even 5.0 with a bigger port 6" instead of 4 tune it at 35hz for my preference, I'll build a new box tomorrow, 5.5 cube feet, port 6 inches wide, see how It does, I'm saving money to buy my crecendo bc5500d
