Not tuning that low to get a rise at that frequency. And no- i have never tuned so low- this is only my 2nd ported box build. The reasoning for the 22 hz tuning and 5 cubes/sub is at the recommendation of Quentin after several conversations of my goals. I won't quote him, but it was something like a 3db curve from 25-100 hz or something like that. Nice boosted across the widest spectrum possible to avoid any peakyness, yet still pound out good volume. He is the expert- and recommended it(since I am not space limited)- so it is what I am doing. I believe his 'normal' recommended enclosure is 3.5 cubes per sub and tuning in the lower 30's, but the response has a higher spike at tuning. Again not quoting specifics, just a broad interpretation from several PM's.LOL I strongly suggest talking to Q directly when building to you're specific needs.

I am sooo excited for next week! Ordered a Pioneer AVH-X5600 through Sonic Electronics. They had it in stock- Amazon had a 2 week delivery time...sonic is 6 days. Comes with a free dash kit- so it worked out about the same as Amazon in cost. Also ordered: (though Amazon) Metra 40-CR10 Antenna Adapter Axxess GM Wiring harness (GMOS-LAN-012) TaoTronics TT-CC17 Rear view cam (License plate) ^^ Wasn't too sure bout the cam- but the reviews were great for it, and at 50 bucks- what the hell. ALSO- i am expecting my Ethos 15's to arrive next week. Will post some equipment pics when they come in. Next big item to get: Alternator. 320 amp Singer most likely. Will place the order for it on the 28th. I get a little closer with each paycheck.LOL

I have the feeling their is going to be a flood of Used Ethos for sale in about 5 months then, Wanna go ahead and start me a lay a way for 2 of these now? J/K! *Unless you want to, then I am serious. EDIT:- just saw the no presale post.

I'm going to have to look up their subs now. I am sure they are the cats meow so to speak. I guess everything is relative. I am not oposed to running a 1000-1200 dollar front stage, in my <20K dollar Avalanche...So I supposed a 14K front stage in a 200K+ vehicle is on par. They are sexy as hell. EDIT- went and checked out their site. That is why I waven't heard of them- they are way out of my league.lol

I wasn't trying a down them...I was just amazed. I would love to hear a set.

Was goofing off on Fleabay, and saw these...14,000 for some 6.5 comps and a 400w amp? WOW! They do have a used set for only 8K. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Critical-MASS-audiophile-6-5-inch-complete-Front-Stage-Amplified-System-CM654a-/321336314419?pt=Car_Speakers&hash=item4ad1230a33 Can they really be that much better? I think it is funny that they state 400w rms but pair them to 100w/channel amp. Makes these 5.000 dollar Morel's look like walmart speakers! (not knocking Walmart speakers- I have a set in my burb.lol) http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOREL-SUPREMO-602-6-5-2-WAY-CAR-AUDIO-COMPONENT-MIDS-TWEETERS-SPEAKERS-NEW-/400605811874?pt=Car_Speakers&hash=item5d45f794a2&vxp=mtr

wut they said.

any hints Jon? wall?

Welcome to the forums!

Seen a few vids of you truck when browsing around. Badass setup man!

Frustrated today....I screwed up the dang cut list on some of the cuts, and tried to cut my on- the turned out like poo! (I am NOT a carpenter.LOL) Throwing all this wood out. Gonna redo my cutlist when I get back to work(where I have the deminsions in sketchup) and start over. So basically I am putting everything on hold for 2 weeks.

are you from the future? lol GLWS.

Happy Birthday!

that enclosure is bad ass man! wish I had those skills....

Heck yeah- welcome! Looking forward to buying a amp or 2 from you guys.

OK gentlemen- Time to start a Build thread for my 2007 Avalanche. First off- this is in the planning / parts gathering stage- and it isn't gonna be an overnight kind of build. So be patient with me. Plans- 2 DSS Ethos 15's 10 cubes tuned to 22hz (looking for loud without being real peaky) in the bed Crescendo Power (BC3500 and C1100.4) Pioneer H/U (something in the avh-x line) Not sure on Front stage yet Plan to run a Singer Alt(320 amp most likely) Dual AGM stock size batteries Story up til now. I had my Burb since last spring-- and after doing the system for the Suzuki, I ended up buying the Crescendo 3500 from W140, and placed a pair of DSS Ethos on order during Q's christmas lay a way deal. Then during Black Friday I snagged a 1100.4 from Crescendo on sale. At this point this was all planned for the Burb. Well in December I was considering a new DD...and bought the Avalanche, specifically thinking it was perfectly suited for this setup. Even looked specically for the orange to match my beautiful amps.LOL So I have the amps, Just got the Ethos paid for- should be in about 2 weeks. After alot of back and forth with Quentin, he convinced me that this enclosure should fit my desires. Can't wait to get this thing pounding. The Starting Point- first things i done were replace the windsheild, the threw a dash cover(has the dreaded dash crack), and installed a magnaflow muffle and SLP tailpipe/tips. 86'ed the roof rack- before- After- The headlights and bowtie were next- before- After- The box plans- A trip to H/D with my lil helper- Then I put the box in the truck- LOL Ok...that was kind of mean.LOL Plan to work on it this weekend.

He has air ride...wieght of this nature isn't going to cause any issues. Just a couple more pounds of air pressure to acheive the same amount of lift. most all bags systems will lift a plenty.(2-3K per bag). Prolly make it ride smoother.lol

Dannnngggg!!(joe dirt) that is awesome.

I may be all screwed up- since I have no experience with aero ports...but I come up with 2 6" ports at 27"L...and may still be on the small side. Only posting this since no one else has jumped in. But if it were me- that is where I'd start. Based on below...

Awesome! Those wheels are actually on my short list for Avalanche wheels.

^^ HAHA!

I'd give that the the insurance- get a check cut and go put my own wheels/tires and pocket the rest.

Damn these subs now a days are beasts. Nice pics!

Wow man- that sucks. Had a friend got his Z28 stolen a couple years ago- same thing- they stole 3 or 4 other cars the same night. Luckily for him- the alternator failed on the car and the thieves abandoned it on the interstate about 40 miles away. They had the process down to steal F-bodys. Anyhow- that is one hell of an inconvenience man, hope the dealer comes thru for you.

freaking sweet!
