Laughed entirely too hard at this

I've been holding off from intimidation, Big Jon and Senchez have massive builds. Mine is just a regular ol' daily driver. Nothing really fancy, but I guess I should put one up

Hello everyone, I wanted to get a build log going for my recent purchase. Just bought a DSS 15" Ethos (2 Ohm) and will be running it off my PPI BK1800.1 in a 3.32 cu ft net enclosure tuned to 32.13 Hz. Here is a list of my set up so far. Nothing special. 2006 Nissan Titan Audio: Sundown Audio E10V2 (4 Ohm) 1.25 cu ft net enclosure tuned to 36 Hz PPI BK1800.1D Sky High Audio 1/0 and 8 gauge wiring Performance: JBA Longtubes, Secondary cat delete with resonators, 2.5" to 3" borla catback and uprev tuned. Future plans: Upgrade battery to diehard platinum and sound deadening Anyways on to the pics up until now: Picture of the Truck Video of the exhaust set up: First enclosure I built (1 cu ft tuned to 35 Hz): Most recent enclosure I built(1.25 cu ft tuned to 36 Hz) Amp Rack I built for under my passenger side seat(8 gauge speaker wire will be installed as soon as the new woofer shows up) After Big 3 and terminal upgrade(battery will be replace very soon): 1/0 Sky High compared to my factory ground and old 4 gauge Some Amp Pics of my PPI BK1800.1D: Adapter harness my buddy made to retain my factory deck: Small amount of deadening I had: Picture of the new enclosure design for My 15" ethos when it gets here: Thanks for Looking

Just thought I'd share for the fun of it. Ever since we bought our fourwheeler (a 2009 Honda Rancher 420AT 4x4) back in August of 2011 I've always wished we had at least another good quad for us to ride so that me and the wife could do our own things when we went out to play. On that same note I've been after my uncle for years (long before I bought the Rancher) to sell me my cousins 1991 Honda 250X. Although I knew it had been through a lot (I know cuz I helped A LOT!!) it was still a VERY solid quad and it also got the engine rebuilt a few years ago due to my uncle having a brain fart about the installation of the oil filter in the engine. In the mean time of hounding him at least once a year about selling the 250X to me I learned that back in 2006 Honda started putting what's called a "Sport Clutch" in the new 250EX's. After reading up on that great little idea I really wanted to get one for the family as it would be able to teach the manual clutch handicapped lot of them how to use a clutch without being so hard on a real manual clutched machine (kills, overrevs, underrevs, clutch dumps, etc.). Alas the money was never right for one of those. So fast forward to the last few weeks. I asked my uncle, once again, about buying the 250X. It had sat for the last 3 years due to some issue with the carb and I figured that after sitting that long if I was ever going to have the chance this would be it. I couldn't believe my luck!! He finally said yes!!! So, I went and picked it up last weekend (the 21st) and brought it home. Took the carb off and found a clogged idle jet and a passage or two that were less than perfectly clean. Threw it back together and BOOM, it fired right up and ran perfect! So we spent the day Sunday playing around on the new (to us) quad and having an all around good time with a 23yo machine that runs and looks like it's only a few years old. All the fenders are in perfect shape, the seat cover is in great shape and the original, it even has the original 1991 headlight bulb (high beam only working tho) in it, lol. $750 for a machine I've loved literally since I was a kid. Then the unexpected happened. I was still hunting around for a 250EX, though I was skeptical I would find one for a price I was willing to pay for it and it still be any count. Monday (the 23rd)I logged on and checked out a few listings on CL while on lunch break at work and I ran across a 2007 250EX that was listed as being in like new shape. Owned by a woman who had ridden it only a hand full of times, got pregnant and hadn't ridden it since. It sounded too good to be true as the price on the listing was $2300 OBO. I thought, "What the hell?!?" right? and called her up. She answered the phone, we talked a little, I got the same spill as the ad stated. After talking to her about the number of people who had been looking at it I asked if I could take a look at it that evening and it was on. My wife, our best friend and I went down and when she opened the garage door up, damn. The machine very literally looked like BRAND NEW. There wasn't a spec of dirt to be found on it, the original tires still had the little rubber teets on them, there wasn't even scratches on the plastic from rubbing them against brush on a trail. I shot her an offer of $1800, she countered with $2000 and we settled on $1900!! Unbelievable! I was able to get two quads I had really been wanting at great prices in a 48hr period! Sorry for the long story guys, but the excitement has been welling up inside and I had to share it somewhere, lol. Here's a few pics of the great new toys. I gotta get a few more of the 250X, and yeah the 250EX has a few girly stickers on it, but what do you expect? It was originally owned by a woman, lol. Almost no one lives anywhere near me, but if you're ever interested in going riding someplace new come on down, up, or over!

Good day for Baptists

Thank god I don't own an GM cars!!

congrats bro

Without at minimum a budget and space requirements we can not help you. Knowing more specifics about your goals would be helpful as well.

yep, sold 50 driver from August to the end of May. Sold 45 drivers last month. I was expecting to have enough til October but it didnt turn out that way.

Due to this month's unexpected sales volume the Ethos is out of stock. We are expecting the next shipment of motors in the beginning of October. In the next few weeks a preoder will be available along with interest free Lay A Way.

I would look into doing each bodypart once per week. Change your routine every 3 weeks, not totally but on that 3rd week on back day only do deadlifts and thats it. Separate your Cardio and heavylift days. Running a mile after lifting is not helping if your trying to gain mass. Do your running on a separate day or early morning the lift at night. Alot of carbs and protein are important within 30-45 minutes after workout. Focus mainly on free weights, anything with a cable is not gonna gain mass but work some of that in maybe once a month for a shock. Get plenty of rest on lift days, go to bed early on those days. I could set you up a good mass routine but there are so many different ways to go about it. Most people over work themselves when trying to gain size and most of the time the opposite should be done.

Great video!!

I like GTIs ! Very good cars. Tuned in for more pics ;-) Why do you want a new box ? This one looks good, for a few hours work ;-)

Vee sub power, turrrrbbbooooooo. Absolutely love ours, build is looking great

OK- You have a buil log on CA-F too right? Thought it looked familiar...\ Looking forward to the new box build.

wow nice install! Clean!

Enclosure looks good, and nice sub choice also. Since your not satisfied with the enclosure will you be making a new box?Any videos?

It's hard as heck to breath in there!

Holy Shit!!!! I actually tapped out. That is all

There's the problem Jake. It's not your hobby , it's your business. When you have customers, it's no longer a hobby. Granted, you are still a small company in comparison, but you are at big name retailers and have a dealer network. You are in big boy territory playing with the big boys, so you need to handle yourself as they do. The big boys don't take the whole company to a show. They support their dealers as needed and in a timely and reasonable manner. They always have someone to take care of business and keep things running, You may have done this, but obviously you left behind the wrong individual(s). There should have been no need to notify the boss on his vacation. The one's left behind should have the capability to handle it. I applaud you defending your name and your company. It should have been handled differently. There should have been a simple apology, a rush to get a new woofer and the situation resolved as quickly as possible. No matter the number of employees, you obviously have some gaps that need addressed. This should help you in the long run, and I hope it does.

Hell yeah!! Love seeing the truck looking like its gonna implode.

Cleanest 59 demo ive gotten bro. Very impressed with the subs and install. Got my demo on batt power and it was fun. Thanks cheezy.

nice

please dont. crescendo's "pro audio" stuff like the supertweeters have no place in a car. that's not to say that pro audio drivers cant be used but crescendo's are garbage.
