This DS18 Black Diamond kit is a budget car audio bass upgrade that can hit hard when paired correctly. The 1000 watt RMS amp is a good match for the two 4 ohm dual voice coil subs, and wiring everything in parallel can get the amp to its rated 1 ohm mono output. A proper subwoofer box and quality oxygen free copper wiring matter, with ported enclosures favoring boomy bass and sealed boxes giving tighter sound. Factory head units may need a line out converter such as an LC2i because some are detuned and do not send enough bass. It is a solid setup if the install is done right.
The setup guidance explains how to choose ported versus sealed enclosures for different bass character.
The wiring explanation shows how to configure dual 4-ohm voice coils and both subs in parallel for a 1-ohm mono load.
The installation advice recommends 12-gauge oxygen-free copper wiring for the stated RMS and impedance targets.
The system-matching note suggests an AudioControl LC2i line-out converter can restore bass when factory sources are detuned.
The experience with a detuned stock head unit reports no bass output when using it as the source for aftermarket subs.
The enclosure guidance warns against throwing the subs into a trunk without an appropriate subwoofer box and quality wiring.
The kit pairing questions indicate buyers may need to add an enclosure choice and a line-out converter beyond what is included.
The cable-gauge question suggests installation requirements like wire gauge may not be obvious from the listing alone.
