2 12 dss ethos (new build)

Recommended Posts

Starting a new build tomorrow. Going over to frogcase2002's house and we are going to build the box for them inside the trunk of my car. I'll post up some pics of the process and how I like the subs overall. My setup as of now is a single 12 inch zcon d2 running at 1 ohm on a Crescendo bc3500. A singer 250 amp alternator and a sundown sae 50.4 running a set of soundqubed components. Deck is a sony for now not sure of the model number. I have a pioneer 80prs I'm going to install sometime but i have to take it out of my truck first and i wanted to wait to get some better comps and figure out the best placement in my car for tweeters. I'll post up some pics here in a few once i download the photo bucket app on my phone.

Not bad really, ive done and seen worse. I would try to wrap those tweeters mounts in black carpet at least, would look better in my opinion.

Looks like it's just cardboard to figure out placement first?

Same here man. Post up what you build. Your 'mistakes' may just be the inspiration someone needs to fix a problem, and we can help ya when ya get stuck. It's looking good, and will improve over time.

The tweet mounts are mdf and i just made them so i could test different locations. Ill make something better or just wrap or paint those once im happy. I would put more effort into the install if it were a nicer car but its just a cavalier so its hard for me to put the time and effort in to build something nice.
