DSS Tridents and Twisted Sounds S-10. Road to 166dBs

[stevemead08 752]

I cant wait to see how those big boy subs hold up to the Ethos as well or vice a versa.

Though the Ethos are great subs, I don't think that Would be fair.

The tridents would be a better comparison. We'll see what Quentin says. I'm sure he's familiar with the other subs in the market.

On second thought. I think the tantric SHD would be a better comparison with the tridend and B2 XC.

The HDD is still a daily bumpin sub.

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

Steve and I talked about this months ago. The Ethos is a $350 1,800 watt rms sub made for use in a daily system. It was never designed to hang with these larger SPL style subs that cost twice as much.

I will however be interested to see how well the trident compares and other large 4 inch coiled Neo drivers that will be available next year.

[stevemead08 752]

Agreed.

This isn't really to compare against the Ethos.

This is just killing some time until the Tridents arrive.

[jcarter1885 994]

Trust me guys I completely understand, I know the Ethos is not in the same category as the big boy subs. But it still should be cool to see how the Ethos does against these other subs.

[tantric sounds 8]

we have yet to build an spl sub but next year I am contemplating designing one for the team guys that keep asking. the ethos 15 for 350 is a great bargin for sure.

[stevemead08 752]

Got some more deadener from Tantric yesterday. Gonna do some more work while I'm waiting on drivers.

Wonder if it will hurt or help you. I've had some friends builds where they lost because some resonance would be good.

Yep.

Some nice thick stuff you got going on there. I watched a build log of a Jeep recently that stated that each time he thickened up panels it raised the peak frequency of his setup. I guess because the thing couldn't flex and the entire vehicle couldn't act as a passive radiator at that point. lol

[SacredTanakh 67]

I'm interested in what you think of the SHDs after you test them out.

 there is some secrets as to what gets deadened and what does not. You'd be suprised what is not touched in the truck. There is a method.

No shds. Just HDDs.

[Sencheezy 689]

Damn that's some good stuff !!

[stevemead08 752]

Doing a little work tonight.

More layers

Thats awesome! Those B2 subs look HUGE and heavy as FK

[stevemead08 752]

Thats awesome! Those B2 subs look HUGE and heavy as FK

It's the angle I think. The B2 wasn't really the focus. They are close in height. The b2 uses a taller, Ti basket that makes up most the height. Ethos is holding its own.

[jcarter1885 994]

The white baskets are a nice touch, not bad at all. Been considering B2 amps for a minute now.

[stevemead08 752]

Looks as though I'll be making some power changes for next season. Nervous and excited all together.

[stevemead08 752]

Oh hai there.

[Sencheezy 689]

yum

[jcarter1885 994]

Haha love the recones man

[stevemead08 752]

Haha love the recones man

they're building the subs complete. He just sent me a teaser.

The B2 thing is not going to happen. Not worth spending a yon of money on recones for those motors when I don't think it will yield great results. I'll just give the motors back.

[jcarter1885 994]

Makes sense, im tuned in regardless.

[stevemead08 752]

Makes sense, im tuned in regardless.

thanks. Indeed stay tuned. With these new subs, Quentin coming out with the tridents, coming out soon, New power upgrades planned for next year, I'm very excited.

Only down side... I need to seriously step my game up to compete in the unlimited power classes. The amp rack and display I'm thinking of should be interesting.

[stevemead08 752]

Did some testing today for finals. numbers are dropping... No bueno.

Though I do still have my, almost year old, stock Ethos in here. Maybe it's time to finally recone them.

[stevemead08 752]

Late arrival to the party.
