Im going to be taking my subs out and putting them in a different box...is it hard to make them direct leads with SHCA ofc 8gauge wire...would that mess up my warranty...what all would I have to do...not sure if I want to do it or not Just thinking about it

Title should read "How does this "Blow-Thru" type box look? 2 12" Ethos. So I wasn't sure if I just wanted to take my rear seat out and do like a half wall with more cone area or not. I came across this idea though before I would do that. I wanna take out the 40 back part of the seat of the 40/60 seats that fold down and then have a long external port from my box come through there and then lay down a board to block the open area so it's sealed off from the trunk. If you don't understand I have pics below to show what I mean. Would this work good though? It would be like porting through the ski-hole armrest in the back seat, but just a larger opening. The external par…

I came home to a nice surprise today. I saw Quentin had a lay away plan so I took advantage! Ethos 15. This is so much bigger in person. It needs to be seen in person to really appreciate. Far bigger than I had used previously. Extremely well built. You can see great care was taken on the glue joints and little other details. Nice finishes and large diameter flat wound coil. My son Nico wanted to take it for a spin.

For those of you that want a driver specifically designed for fourth order bandpass enclosures I am looking at offering this option. As long as I don't have to add mass to the moving assembly to achieve desirable frequency response it will be a free of charge option. Details later today.

All current orders will go out as normal. New orders form here forward will be delayed for about two or so weeks. I am in the process of having all my motors and more than enough parts shipped to my shop so I can minimize lead time. The goal is to get far enough ahead that drivers will ship next day. Please excuse the wait while I make the transition. Also I am working with a local company to come up with a custom package solution so no damages will occur during shipping.

I was wondering how would 4 ethos 15s perform on a crescendo 5500 I'm really stuck inbetween 4 ethos 15s and two zv4 18s

After some unplanned decisions(buying my Avalanche) and some other unexpected events. i finally paid off my subs. I am too excited for them to get here.(gonna be a long 3 weeks). I would like to sincerely thank Q for being awesome to deal with. Always replies to Questions, Helped me decide on the correct enclosure for my goals, and worked with me on the timeline. You sir, are top notch in my book.

...after all you are the ones who will be buying them. These frames will be used for subwoofers with an xmax of 30mm or larger and will handle massive motors. One of the motors samples I have coming is pushing 100lbs. They will be Osd (oversized sd) to allow for massive xmax and retain sd. After all what's the point if high excursion 12 if you have the sd of an 8. The below sketches are of what the frames might look like (have to do a few mods for added features. This frame has and OD of 12.5 inches and will allow a surround of 2.75 inches wide and still keep the same amount of sd as typical cones being used on current 12 spoked bakets. It has enough clearance for…

Well I have had the car for a few weeks now and I'm really missing the low end. I was discouraged after looking at the trunk because it looked much smaller than my I30 and I had just assumed that the enclosure that I had for the 15" Ethos would not fit. Turns out for once I got lucky and it fit in the trunk like it was made for it! Here is the car it will be going in sitting next to my other baby... And the enclosure that has been collecting dust for months that fit in perfectly... I should be getting everything in and running within a week or two, and finally get to hear this DSS Ethos in action! For now everything will remain stock except for the sub, b…

So Ijust purchased a new to me 04 tahoe, and I'm planning my new system. I'm set on two 18 inch ethos what should I shoot for on the box and what are some good amp rec.? Basically it's gonna be a daily system bump on my way to work and back etc. Thanks in advance. p.s I was looking at the Soundqubed 3500

I am working on an install for my buddy. I am looking at enclosure options for two Ethos 12" powered by a Crescendo BC2000D. The goals of the sub system is to sound good and be loud, should be easy Will 3 cubes net tuned to 32hz with a 6" aero port work well with two Ethos 12" powered by a BC2000D? BTW this is going in a late model Civic.

If someone wants to make a graph, that'd be great lol.

Got a few samples today of some material we plan on testing to see if it offers any advantages in heat transfer in motors, and if it has any value as a faraday ring. The silver pieces are aluminum and the copper colored is copper.

DSS HOMEPAGE

I will be giving shirts to competitors that will be running DSS product. Since y'all will be wearing them I want to make sure y'all approve. I know some of y'all are pretty big guys, will 4x suffice? I am thinking something along the lines of the below pic. The red would be blue, DSS logo will be on the back and front pocket and if you like your name would be embroidered on the front.

Quentin I was wondering if the run of ethos that are coming in October will have any changes compared to the previous Ethos. I know you had talked about and showed pics of the new surrounds, will those be used on the ones built in October. Is there any other planned changes, Also what is the cost for dual leads instead of single leads? Thanks in advance for the info.
