Judging? How did your duelling demos go?You forget we play for the crowd and not just ourselves. My wife listens to more radio and knows songs better than I do so she picked it. The same can be said when she was doing duelling demos, hence why all her songs were from the 80's when listening to the radio was all we had for entertainment growing up.

Judging? How did your duelling demos go?

I spy DSS exposure

Which vehicle is this in? Do you have any idea whether the alt is PCM controlled or internally regulated?

290 amps of fusing hmm. I was reading a recent post about how a guy passed a clamped 4000 watts through a single 60 amp fuse for like 4 full seconds. Accordingly to that theory you should at least be able to pass 19k lmfao

This thing really gets down. At this point it only gets better. Best part is you went from no bass to mid 50's in no time flat.

I think we could both use a good engine degreaser.

Yah, closed end connectors from now on. CCA doesn't seem to do well at all with the elements to begin with. I'd look to investing in ofc and getting crimp lugs instead. They have the option of solder or Hydro crimping and will not do this.

As far as head unit goes perhaps try a Kenwood x9XX series. I have issues with my 80prs as well. Mine went blank as well at high volume and I flipped out. I use my Kenwood x997 as an external burp deck without issue, but still enjoyed it inside the truck as well.

Sounds like a winner to me.

Agreed, I have a samsung phone and thought I might put the NFC that I never use to work as well. Would be nice to wave my phone when i want to start hotspot, connect bluetooth, and start something else. I see the possibilities being endless. Although I could say the same for a CarPC!

Double heck yah!

Appreciate the offer, but I have a couple tablets on hand at all times. My biggest gripe is deciding which I wanna use. I know the nexus 7 opens up the otg options, but having a larger screen sounds good on the other hand. I don't know how much I need that 4g model if I have Hotspot and everything, but I guess it wouldn't be terrible either way.

That was my thoughts. So that's why I grabbed the zip ties and put them together tightly. If I had to do it all over again I'd likely have just used this nexus 7 and some minidsp's. I know how much you love yours

We never metered unfused to show true numbers yet. That will come soon.

Yah, I've never seen a single amp suck the life out of electric like that lol. Getting the proper amount of power in there will help with fusing tremendously too though! I expect to see that score sky rocket with fusing once we get the voltage issue fixed. Yah, I had to stop the entire trophy ceremony and had to make a guy give back the first place trophy because they put you in the wrong class. It's ok though because I didn't like that dude and it made me giggle a little to see the look on his face when they corrected the mistake and said "Actually, Swift gets first place and you get second". I'll put the laptop on charge tonight and the meter will be ready whenever you're ready for testing.

I won't say that my results are typical because I know 2 people with 80prs' and they didn't have issues above 150db with the usb and one of them you know here on the forum "Swift". The 80prs has many issues with RCA's, but never anything i've heard about the USB. I should have taken my own advice and just gotten a higher quality USB to begin with and zip tied it then. Went the entire show this past weekend without so much of a hiccup from bass.

I really appreciate that too. Well, you will get another update this weekend cause I will be pulling them all out to assess any wear and tear on the landings and suspension as a whole. Got plans to cover my enclosure to pretty things up a bit. Oh, and I gotta install those flares, do some inside painting, and a little more bracing too. Senchez said he saw the enclosure flexing, but I didn't catch where he said it was from. The middle is improbable since I have a 2x4 mounted sideways going from the front to back on the baffle along with 2" dowels in between the subs. I stood on this box before I mounted the subs and didn't notice anything then, but I bet something worked its way loose.

Swift, you really got this thing going fast. It really kills the lows and shows the Ethos potential. That Ampere amp was legit as hell too.

All good man, I know between all of us slamming it out at the shows your brand is spreading like wildfire. I just like to know that we are some of the first that got the opportunity to have the first feedback from the outside world between showings, demos, and video reviews. I can only say that it'll only grow from here.

Thanks man, I'm reppin the Ethos hard here. Got your stickers on the truck as well as I kept getting asked all the time what I was running. Today was a disaster for me with a mixture of the heat getting to me and stupidity. First I find out I have a sub channel not working on my burp deck so I started removing rca's to swap them out only to find out that my Memphis/Pac-Lc1 variant input pulled right out in to the rcas (the thing was broken!). So I go ahead and run it straight to the deck and go do my run. I go up and do my run and was getting pissed because with 2 4k's I was only doing right at a 50.2db! I was disappointed and pulled back in the shade to find out that I still had it faded to the right from testing earlier. So yah, I'm an idiot 2 subs and 4k @ 1ohm = 150.2db. I took all the time to work on the amps and only tested on the daily deck before the show. Now I gotta order a couple more LC1's Will be back having more fun in the dbDrag lanes with Sencheezy and Swift this Saturday coming I hope.

Just finished my last set of rings last week and forgot to mention I ran in to some rules in my organization that stipulates that I cannot run legally with unfinished doors. Well, I'd be working on the doors by myself and just might have an incident or 2 where i'd of had issues with this rule. So, I contacted the commisioner and asked for suggestions. He stated that as long as I cover the door with any material whether it is paint, carpet, vinyl and have the holes filled with speakers, carpet, or vinyl then i can still do my SPL, park and pound, and duelling demo runs without issue. The build shall commence extremely soon as I am ready to get these front doors rocking now. Took a first in duelling demos street today with absolutely no intention of winning with a 20 year old set of USD audio mids and set of Eric Steven horns so I'm doing something right according to the votes.

It was definitely the USB extension. I really wish it was as easy as just popping something out and another one in, but i have to remove my entire dash each time. I removed my ipod cable from the extension and plugged it in directly and left the USB there and just changed spots in hopes that maybe it was just the slot. I put a zip tie between each as well before suggested and they seem to be working so far. lol Thanks for the suggestions guys. This whole USB thing was killing me.

Never held it in my hand, but i'm sure it'd help. Thing is, my entire dash flexes like mad. I'd have to put a stripper pole through the thing and weld it to the floorboard. And this was with 1/4th the power and different system.

If you're helping a friend then i'd suggest them not being able to control any of the settings without any training with their equipment. For this reason I'd say grab a minidsp and run that and set it yourself and then he won't be able to easily change settings without a pc this way you aren't getting a call every other day wondering why his left doorspeaker sounds muffled or his mid sounds further right.
