my car is one of those where you kinda have to hear it to respect it... videos are hard, and with the go pro i cant catch reactions because people are on gaurd , like steve said " no one wants to be punked"

 i guess i can understand that,

 

 the number i have put up are bullshit.. somthing is up i have an issue some where..  the amp is protecting at .25

lol i just may!

Haha, well pm me if you get serious. I am about to start my build and ready to get something, thinking of grabbing that Taramps 8k after hearing Senchezs today wired at 3 ohms. Shit hurt, lmao! I would rather grab a CF8k or the AB Monster but idk.

 

Loving your setup though, tuned low doing numbers. Thats it right there! Bet that amp takes up the whole trunk.

Jon is right about having to hear it in person. I've said this from day one. If you ever get a chance to hear it in person, I suggest you do so.

Numbers in this car mean absolutely nothing!

Agreed , car is brutal

After waiting almost 2 months for recones that I still have not recieved; I am now ready to go with a different company. Someone please get at me with a price on a pair of ethos 12's (dual 1's). Thank you

You can purchase off the site.  I have a hand few left and a few with minor cosmetic issues like scratches on the top and bottom plates.  I'd let those go for $50 off each.  If you don't mind the scratches (baskets and soft parts will be new and pristine) create an account on the site and I will give you a $100 store credit.

I still can't get over how these shops really don't have a clue what real bass is.  Maybe its time to launch Pinnacle Transducers?

Yea they use the same motor.  I'll give you a $50 credit on each of whatever size you like.

so as alot of you know, i have ran sundown for many years in the lincoln, and recently the Zcons, and then back to the sundowns..

well after following the long coming of the ethos i decided to give them a shot.......

i was very impressed with the packing, first off.. i have bought a lot of big subs.. but none were packed like these, .. they didn't move an inch in shipping, ill show you why!!

gotta love wood !

20131003_211254_zpsdf087bee.jpg

and this idea i liked alot, it keeps the motor from moving, and of course wood on the bottom

20131003_211311_zps56e0156f.jpg

now lets look at the sub,

first thing that caught my eye was the raised lettered dust cap, its classy and different, and the cone its self is nice stiff and very hard, thick if you will,

20131003_211356_zps77e1e708.jpg

second thing i noticed was **** ass!!! its massive, this sub is heavy!!

also the matted black basket, its so very sexy, and again . different

i think the QC guy forgot to look at this one after it was glued, the glue comes off with a little work....

leads are nice, tethered and heat shrunk

20131003_211524_zps70020105.jpg

lastly is the black chrome basket ... some bitch is sexy!!!.....

this one has some glue but comes off

20131005_144939_zpsed9f1d37.jpg

i was a little sad to see that the builder didnt protect the black chrome back plate while assembling not a huge deal to me.. as im not inverting them...

ok so lets get down to it, so i dropped them in on the NS1 at 1 ohm.. left the settings where they were from the nightshade V2's and let them eat on some music for a while.. about 6 songs right off the bat.. at full tilt... got them nice and hot and smelly... as to be expected straight out of the box... so after about 2 hours play time they are broken in and the spiders are softer,

ill say it right now.. I AM NOT BEING EASY on these subs.. i know i WILL find the limit on them.... but until then lets have some fun!!!

these subs are really nice on music, they are punchy quick and carry lows like a beast, its hard to explain, but its like some how they have the best of both worlds, it has made some of the songs i liked but never played with the nightshades because they would not respond fast enough a joy to listen to once again ,

these subs are taking power like a boss, im going back thru all my music folders looks for new songs to play because the realm of lows and response of these subs is unmatched and i cant wait...

i will keep playing them, and tell ya'll more about them as i learn about them... were still getting to know one another :P

i can tell you i am very pleased at this point :D

i have some videos but uploading them is proving to be a challenge, but i wll get them posted ,:D

Not tryn to jack ur build log bigjon, but you are one of the people who got me interested in "ETHOS"!! ..ty
