competitor review on the ethos 15s #video too#

Recommended Posts

Since my truck is still in the works I thought it would be cool to put the subs to good use, since there just collecting dust in my truck.

I decided to ask a good buddy of mine to run them at a big Usaci show this weekend.

Well the show turned out to be a bust on Saturday and after waiting in line for hours on Saturday, we called it off. He did do a little parking lot pimpin behind the show to help spread the word on the Ethos.he did some demos and showed them off well. Sounds like the Ethos didn't disappoint. He had swapped out some soundqubed hdc4s or whatever there called.

Here's what he had to say.

"I was givin the opportunity by Steve Mead to test out and break in his DSS Ethos 15s. Powered by a powerbass 5000d.

basically in my opinion, The DSS have a smoother response and seemed to play a little lower. I think they would have done slightly better in a smaller box. Would love to be able to possibly test them in a 4th order if given the chance to rebuild. they did seem to warm up slightly quick but that could have been from several things and with short play time im not taking that into account. Overall they seem like they were pretty well built, Took more power than rated and sounded very clean"

There are some videos rendering tonight also but for now, a few pics.

Jay-cee, the way it is right now being temporary is 2 HDC4 15's on a powerbass xta5000d. Front doors house Rockford pro mids and massive audio ct2 tweeters powered by a ct sounds 125.4. 2 ups batteries in the rear and a die hard platinum under the hood. Stock alt right now. 2 runs of power and ground to the back. Eclipse cd7200mkii radio.

All the tracks played are edits I've done. The last one was z-ro - never been
