osiris10012 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Posted July 11, 2014 That's good news! Well on a side note I started spraying primer on the enclosure and ran out. Lol. So I guess I will be picking up some more tomorrow. Then this weekend I will be spraying some bed liner on it. Hopefully it will be ready for when the sub shows up.
osiris10012 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Posted July 13, 2014 I got everything but the back sprayed with bedliner. I am extremely happy with the way it turned out. These pictures kind of suck but it's the best I could do for now.

osiris10012 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Posted July 13, 2014 Box looks goodThanks man!Finished spraying the enclosure today. It turned out great. Then I got bored and decided to install my remote bass control. I never needed it with the e10 but I assume the ethos will. It will be nice to have the ability to adjust the amount of bass. I went with a hidden mounting location. I didn't want anyone to be able to see it. I used double sided tape and screws to secure it. I apologize in advance for how dirty the truck is. The weather has been terrible the last few weeks so I haven't been able to clean it. Anyways on to the pics.

osiris10012 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Posted July 15, 2014 Alright everyone, I apologize for the wait. The Ethos arrived today before I went to work and I just got all the pics uploaded. My first impression of this sub was basically a shock. This thing is an absolute monster, especially next to my sundown e10. The build quality is awesome and the packaging did great. The only thing that happened to the packaging was a slight tear in one corner and the bottom wood plate got a corner bent up. No big deal at all. This thing had a long journey from Louisiana to Alaska and the sub arrived perfectly fine. It sat nice and tight in the packaging. This sub is gorgeous with the chrome motor, black basket and the raised dss logo. I am almost ashamed that the motor will be hidden. Another thing I noticed was this bad boy is stiff. I can't wait to get it installed in the truck and start breaking it in. Unfortunately due to a few things I have going on I may not get it in until this weekend. Anyways enough talk and onto the pics.

osiris10012 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Posted July 16, 2014 Thanks for the compliments guys. Here are a couple more pics. I ended up getting it installed but don't have any pics of it because it is pouring down right now. I absolutely need to design a way to secure this, but at least I got it playing. I barely have any play time on it but I am extremely impressed. Even with the windows up I could feel this thing moving a lot of air while playing stuff in the 27-32 hz range. I have never felt that in any of my previous set ups. I can definetely tell it needs to loosen up a bit and I can't wait. Another thing I forgot to mention was my speaker wire is definetely overkill. I had to trim quite a bit to fit it in the ethos terminals. Fit great in the amp though. Lol

outbumpinghicks Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Awesome build! Loved reading through it. If you ever decide to upgrade alternators, I would gladly take that stock Titan off your hands It can be fitted into my Z31 and possibly my Maxima haha. Keep the updates coming!
