Posted October 22, 201410 yr I have a 99 yukon denali (aka tahoe) that I want to upgrage to 4 dss ethos 18s. I currently have 6 xfl 12s on 7k in a 12.2 cube net box. I have about 7 inches of space between the port and the back door. Do you think I can get 4 18s in this space or should I stick with going 4 15s? Currently I have my batteries and 2 amps behind the back seats as well.
October 22, 201410 yr We need your absolute max dimensions in LxWxH type deal. That's the only way we can tell if you have enough room.
October 22, 201410 yr unfortunately, I am completely out of ethos motors until March unless someone cancels a layaway. I do however have the Tridents coming along with this run of Ethos. The 15's are $533.95 and are about 2,800 watts rms.
October 23, 201410 yr Author Thanks Mr. Jarrell for the response. Sencheezy (my local dss team member) informed me that it would be about 3 to 4 months on the wait for ethos. I would love to go with tridents, but budget does not allow at this moment. I think the ethos will be a major upgrade for a lightweight like myself to step up to a much better sub. I am currently running 6 american bass xfls. Current box measures 48w x 30d x 22h. Absolute max is 53w x 45d x 22h to keep it below the window line. Max depth will be adjusted for space between port and rear hatch as needed. Current box port is 12.5 inch octoport with 6 inches of space from port to tailgate. Port is 19 inches in length tuned to about 31 hertz. Right now I have batteries and amps mounted in front of the box that takes up about 8 inches. Edited October 23, 201410 yr by yukonblack
October 23, 201410 yr In those dimensions there is 22.91cuft gross space to work with. That would be 5.727cuft per sub before you figured for sub, bracing and port displacements. That's going to be really damn tight for most 18's on the market but the 18 DSS Ethos as you were asking about. Unfortunately as Quentin has already mentioned right now they're all sold out until the next run that would/should/could be available in March.
October 23, 201410 yr Author Do you think its worth it to try that or just stay with 4 15s? I think the wow factor would be to keep the batteries and the amps were they are and still get enough space to run the 18's. I am not going for numbers just demos, but I would like to put up a decent number when I do meter. Legal I am at 150.7 at 43 hertz. I would love to get that up to 153 or so that is why I want the 18s. I don't think the 15s will be about to get there.
October 24, 201410 yr The space is very tight I have 3 18" ethos And im limited on space about 4 to 5" for the back hatch my box is window line but can fit 4 18s if wanted.... H 20, w 48, D 42 port acoss the bottom sounds real nice have not metered it yet but I know im in the 150s
October 24, 201410 yr My ethos will be for sale very soon, to help funding. I have a few interested buyers. If you're intereseted. Let me know.
