IMO a trunk car always sounds better with the seats up , to me it sounds smoother and seems to load better. but scores are normally better with the seat down. love the road masters, but they do have a funny shaped trunk! cant wait to see your build with the ETHOS

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 ! and this idea i liked alot, it keeps the motor from moving, and of course wood on the bottom 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, second thing i noticed was dat 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 a peak into her gutts lastly is the black chrome basket ... some bitch is sexy!!!..... this one has some glue but comes off 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 i can tell you i am very pleased at this point i have some videos but uploading them is proving to be a challenge, but i wll get them posted ,

using the mini SD card option can solve this issue.

son of a bitch let the smoke out!! in a big way, it a american bass 1101 so .. i think big is all it knows....

i know we have a group of very smart talented men on this site... any of them repairing amps? i need the SSA brother hood right about now

i didn't ask for a company that does repairs, i have used DB-r a hand full of times, but in this case he is 0 help,. he is so busy that he does not care about taking on jobs like i have , so much so that he even refused me a warranty .... NOT EVEN A DOA ! i have been running big amps for along time now... so i know the game and i understand high current warranties are tail light warranties , but to not even give someone a DOA warranty on a repair ..... come on.

well looks like the American bass will be up for sale

fancy pants !

damn dude putting in work

cant wait to see this beast unleash!!

didnt know those amps would run 18 volts

do the van brother, with lots o batteries

WHOOOOOP!!

for me ! oh i hope

i stopped by one the local audio shops and his family was there.. and every one wanted to hear the lincoln ... so this is him , and his little girl hes heard it.. this is her first time...... she had never sat for a hair trick so she didnt know how... too far away his wife no stranger to bass, this was the second video, my memory ran out on the first attemp she jumpped like crazy too bad i didnt get it on film

lol i just may!

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 i have some more goodies coming. hope to change that soon . thanks guys

just some quick videos for now.. im still learning what song play well.. with the new amp my peak went up .. so im learning all new songs... the videos do it no justice its fucking loud .... really fucking loud. and just an FYI and again.. i dont suggest this .... but im running this american bass 1101 ( rated at 12.5K at 12 volts) at 3/4s gain with a tad of bass boost... these subs are taking it on music like a beast!!!!!!!!! its wild.... wow. love these subs on music

got a new amp .... THIS IS AN OLD VIDEO!!! with the NS-1 now the rest will be with the AB 1101

i didnt read all that... and i really dont need to ... after years and years of being a loyal sundowner.... i walked away a little over a year ago ... they have just gotten too big for their pants.. shit happends.. still a great product and thats the reason why!! put your self in the shoes of a company that has grown as much as they have

nice!!

big three? as far as the fuses go.. i would guess that one weak 2 year old fuse blew,... then boom boom boom boom .. down the row they went... as they are in parallel

you should... throw that mic in the kick .... and shut one of those doors for us 3rd coast guys
