20131203_173701_zps6f87019b.jpg.

 

 some asshole forgot to wire as coil on each of the subs......

 

 it was my fault they cooked...  i feel like such an ass clown. ...

 

 

 not only is this why they blew....

 

 THIS IS WHY THEY METERED SO LOW!!!! (149.3)

 

 stay tuned guys...

 

 im reconing then hitting the meter again....

 

 

god i feel so stupid.

 

 

 

 

 oh and i also have a cracked rim

this was always like this??

Oh shit! Well that's good and bad.

this was always like this??

Pretty sure he switched up the load.

 no .. only when i switched it down to .25 ,.... thats when i left a wire off by mistake....

 

 so thats why i metered lower then expected and also let the smoke out...

I live quite a way north of that but can you pm me how much your selling your ns1 for and I might can get a demo and pick it up at the same time if its still for sale

I curious to see what it will meter when you fix it and everything is how it should be.

Damn, that sucks.

Sorry to hear man.

Damn :( It is still a testament to the build quality of the Ethos subs though ;) I'm eager to see what you meter with them wired correctly.

All the better i feel bout ordering mine.  Bought a 07 Avalanche today....can't wait to start putting it all together.

 

Looking forward to the next metering.

Damn sad.pngIt is still a testament to the build quality of the Ethos subs though wink.png I'm eager to see what you meter with them wired correctly.

 

 

My thoughts exactly.  

Those subs seem impressive ! Best of both worlds.
Thanks for the feedback on them. :)


Don't worry too much about those negative points. I don't know why they do this; but it's idiot !

 

Talking about wiring : I realized that my sub was wired to 4 Ohms after metering at 138.something last weekend. (sealed at the dash, TL).
I rewired to 1 Ohm, and now I'm waiting on a new TL session with the IA 20.1 ;)  ;)  It is much louder. Hoping it will meter higher.

Big john did you ever get them metered again or got them reconed yet?

my intake manifold broke on my car  the day after i put my subs back in..

 

but

ok .. so like i said i would throw up a score today.. no testing no tuning.. just burp a few times quickly before i lost all my coolant ..

 

 

 i have stated that to the ear the ethos were louder to me then the nightshade V2s ....... and well i was right.

 

20140208_141407_zpsa28e6ee8.jpg

 

 no testing .. no tuning.. stright outta the gate

 

 

 with a 355 dollar shipped sub VS the 600ish  sub i was running to get these scores

That's impressive

Damn, even gettin the homies to bail. good stuff.

Did you order an extra set of recones, because you'll probably need them with putting that much power to the ethos

When both coils are wired up.. doubt it :)

 

Quentin stated before if he were to rate these thermally it would be closer to 2500wrms per sub so a ~7k on 5k worth of subs is fine.

 

And like Jon said, can't beat the price to performance!

The drivers need 1800 watts to reach xmax in their recommended enclosures.  The recommended power ratings I give are what are needed to be operate the sub.  I'll never give a max "safe" power level.  That's kinda like a car manufacturer saying its ok to run your car right below redline all the time. 

Your boy knew he was going to get hurt lol. How is the bandwidth in your setup?
