 some asshole forgot to wire as coil on each of the subs......

 

 it was my fault they cooked...  i feel like such an ass clown. ...

 

 

 not only is this why they blew....

 

 THIS IS WHY THEY METERED SO LOW!!!! (149.3)

 

 stay tuned guys...

 

 im reconing then hitting the meter again....

 

 

god i feel so stupid.

Damn :( It is still a testament to the build quality of the Ethos subs though ;) I'm eager to see what you meter with them wired correctly.

Those subs seem impressive ! Best of both worlds.
Thanks for the feedback on them. :)


Don't worry too much about those negative points. I don't know why they do this; but it's idiot !

 

Talking about wiring : I realized that my sub was wired to 4 Ohms after metering at 138.something last weekend. (sealed at the dash, TL).
I rewired to 1 Ohm, and now I'm waiting on a new TL session with the IA 20.1 ;)  ;)  It is much louder. Hoping it will meter higher.

my intake manifold broke on my car  the day after i put my subs back in..

 

but

ok .. so like i said i would throw up a score today.. no testing no tuning.. just burp a few times quickly before i lost all my coolant ..

 

 

 i have stated that to the ear the ethos were louder to me then the nightshade V2s ....... and well i was right.

 no testing .. no tuning.. stright outta the gate

 

 

 with a 355 dollar shipped sub VS the 600ish  sub i was running to get these scores

Did you order an extra set of recones, because you'll probably need them with putting that much power to the ethos

When both coils are wired up.. doubt it :)

 

Quentin stated before if he were to rate these thermally it would be closer to 2500wrms per sub so a ~7k on 5k worth of subs is fine.

 

And like Jon said, can't beat the price to performance!

The drivers need 1800 watts to reach xmax in their recommended enclosures.  The recommended power ratings I give are what are needed to be operate the sub.  I'll never give a max "safe" power level.  That's kinda like a car manufacturer saying its ok to run your car right below redline all the time.
