  1. So is there any "rule of thumb" as to what can be used? Or just measure and go as big as possible? And as for the alt...I could get a larger one elsewhere for twice the price. In my research so far people seem to be able to get away with a 200 amp on that power without any issues (with big 3 and big battery or 2).

    Gotcha. I knew that 10 looked mighty big compared to the motor. But thanks again man. After hearing Senchez's ride at the Sundown show I knew I was Ethos bound. Those things sound amazing!

    go with one 12 Just placed my order. I took out the false floor and was desperately looking for a way to make the 15 work, but with all that needs to go back there I think that 1.5 cu box is gonna give me the space that I need for everything else. Thanks Q for the discounts! Can't wait to get this thing jumping!! Time to start preparing the electrical. On a side note....aren't the pics for the 10" and 12" reversed? That 12 sure looks like a 10 and vice versa.

    Thanks for all the input guys! I tried to multiquote but it's bugging on me so I'll answer all here. I'd really love to have a 15...especially now hearing everyone's response. Space is not going to be my friend here. I'm willing to sacrifice everything behind the rear seats, which isn't a lot. I still have a drum set to haul around and can just barely do that with the box I have now. Here is what I measure.... 37" wide, top of the seat (minus headrest) sits around the 17.5" mark, and from that point to the hatch is 17" (but that's touching each). The lower I go the more depth I have due to the seat's angle. Keep in mind though that I still have to fit 2 amps back there and I'm guessing I'll need an extra battery somewhere in there as well. One thing I could do is remove the false floor to give me more space to work with, since I have removed the small spare and carry a full size behind the passenger seat (18s and a temp spare don't give me the warm fuzzies).

    Awesome! I'll be placing my order hopefully tomorrow. My only dilemma....12 or 15? I love the lows, but I also listen to a lot of rock/metal with a lot of fast paced double kick drums. I'm guessing a 12 would be the safest bet. Plus with the limited space I have I'm not sure the extra battery and amps would fit with a 15 back there.
  6. Good to meet you last weekend man! That was an awesome show. Sencheezy was definitely a crowd pleaser. And thanks for talking me into that demo from Doug Fabio. That was a helluva way to break me in! Had no idea he was a 162 vehicle as well (although seeing the 6 Sundown SAZ-5000s first let me know I was in for a treat). lol Only bad thing was the Sundown sunburn!

    You were definitely in high demand! I had backpack duty during one of the sessions. Had to keep stopping them from sliding off the roof down the windshield. Lol But good meeting you man. That's one NASTY build you got there! Can't embed from my phone, but here's a vid of one of your demos at the show. Congrats on the score!
  9. It looks like it! Whenever you have to breathe in between the notes there's some serious pounding going on.

    Happy BIG 40 Nem!!

    Happy Birthday nem!
  11. I may ride down for this one since it's just 3 hours away. I'll only be spectating though, as I'm just a little pup. lol Really want to check out Sencheezy's build. The vids I've seen look brutal! Plus I want to hear these Ethos first hand since that's what I'm leaning towards with my upcoming build. I will be there. Heading down this after noon. Should be there around 10-11pm. Need to find a hotel as well. Sweet! I gotta get a demo from ya man. Never had one from a 150+ vehicle.

  13. I gotta second the motion on the Dcons. I'm running 2 12s off a Kenwood 5 channel that's only pushing 300 to them. Noone can believe it's only 300 watts and the sq is AMAZING! They are ported though. Shakes the car pretty good for sure.
  14. sacrificed for the greater good. Awesome! That's what's up!! Congrats guys.
  15. I'm on my phone so I can't embed the vid but looks like Sencheezy lost an Ethos today. RIP :-( http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=jJi7wuIcvjE
  16. From what I've seen and read they're a fairly new outfit but the people buying them are loving them so far. They have videos showing output comparable to Mechman's alts and for the price seem to be a bargain. However being so new in the game, only time will tell on the reliability. I just got a quote for my '04 xB from them a couple of days ago on a 220 amp. For the price quoted I think I'm going to give it a shot!

    6 15" DSS Ethos and HD8000 @3 ohms

    So are you down to just 1 amp now? Been checking out your vids from Slamology when you were running 2. VERY impressive either way! Nice, CLEAN build man!!

    Install explodes during drive

    I'm on mobile so I hope this link will work. Ever see one blow like this? Damn!!! http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c31_1398418115

    Well crap. Someone linked me on Facebook as an install blowout. Did look like a sub cone flying out. My bad. Pretty impressive though!
  21. After attending my first bass off in VA last weekend the bug has bitten. Car will be paid off this summer so it's time to start thinking about uprades. I'm not looking to dominate competitions, but I do wanna get way louder. Right now I'm thinking 2-3k would be good for me. Being that I'm running a 5 channel now I know I'll be adding a second amp for the highs. At this point, will an extra battery in back be enough, or do I need to start looking at HO alts? My stock Scion is only 80 amps. Just got a little tax money and would like to put it on something of value towards this. I found a few amps on Craigslist that sparked my attention, although after reading the Stetsom forum here I think the 2k6d is out now. Alpine MRP M2000 for 350 or Kicker 2500.1 for 500 (at a pawn shop so may could talk them down). Or maybe just wait for something better to come along. Right now just getting a feel for all that needs to be done for the power I'm thinking. Thanks in advance guys!
  22. Sounds like the first thing is to get some 1/0 and do the big 3. I did this with some extra 4 ga from my amp install, but with the power I'm looking at any amp is gonna require that anyways. Thanks guys! Man that 700 at 4 ohms would be a nice match for these 2 Dcons until I could safely run 1 ohm on something different. Only thing that bothers me about that is what I was reading on the Crescendo forum. Seems people are waiting months on repairs with no communication from the company. That had originally turned my thoughts away from them, although I know most people seem happy with their amps. Hmmmmm...that does look nice though.
  23. All I see is a .But for those interested here is a link to the Facebook event page with lots of vids (including the fire aftermath). https://m.facebook.com/events/577805842279801
  24. Yeah my little one was worn out after a couple of hours. He went to the car to lay down for a few while me and my 19 year old checked everything out. I don't know how he was able to fall asleep with all the vibrations going on. lol And no I missed that. The lady at the gate told us about it when we were pulling in. I did see a pic on facebook of the aftermath though (if it was the same one). And that green and blue Suburban/Tahoe whatever it was....wow!
