Upgrading from 2 12 dss ethos


Recommended Posts

Posted

So i have 2 12 DSS ethos in a 3.5 cube net box with 65 sq inches of port area. It is being powered by a Ampere audio 5k at 1 ohm. It does get pretty loud for what it is but im in a suv so i want louder. I love the sound of the ethos and would like a sub similar that can handle more power. Other option would be going to 15s. Not sure if there would be a noticeable difference there. Would going to 2 12 ZV4 off my amp at .5 net a good enough gain?

I have roughly 7 cubes net to work. Right now power is my 5k, but eventually i will get a 8.5k and run it at .5 ohms.

budget would be around 1k. Even if thats finding a couple used sub.

One option could be 4 Ethos 12s, likely will get louder than the two 15s and it seems you have the space.

If your budget is 1000 and was thinking about getting 2 better subs why would 2 more ethos be to much?

I thought about going 4 12s but I cant afford 2 more. They are 500 each. Id be looking to either get 2 better subs or 2 15s

Think he was saying the Ethos are to much at $500 a piece.

I still dont get it. Dont you already have 2 ethos? . . And you said your budget for more subs is 1000 . So how is 2 ethos to much

Think I get it. $1100 budget for 2 super powerful better quality 12s/15s. So he needs to sell those Ethos and just go with 2 18s I would say then he'd be ready for that 8.5k.

7 cu Ft net is a little tight for 2 15" subs. But it could work.

You'll have enough power for those SP4's, for sure. They shouldn't need 10K watts to be loud and make you smile.

You already have enough power !

Can you recone those 12" Ethos to 15" ? Did you ask DSS ? That would be the best and the cheapest move.
