Loudest 4th Gen in the World

[Sencheezy]

Hello guys, the name is senchez and I drive an 2007 Explorer, 4.0. I have been building up my explorer for quite some time, but mostly on the moderate side of things. About 6 weeks ago, I overheated my engine. My fault, as I neglected ever taking it to be looked at. But nonetheless, I took this opportunity to really go big with my system. I'd figure to knock out both birds with one stone sort of speak.

The equipment is as follows.

Clarion 702
Zed Leviathan III
Image Dynamics Ultras Mini
2 Beyma 12p80Fe
2 of 3 Taramp HD8000
6 15" DSS Ethos
10 Group 31 batteries
1 DC Power 240XP
3.5 to 1 Single Reflex Bandpass Enclosure
10 Sealed, 35 Ported
1" High Grade MDF, Steel Bracing

I will begin uploading some pictures now as it is still under construction.

So let me first start off my showing the truck itself. Her name is Valerie.

So now to take a look inside. Right now, she is gutted out. 2nd row seat has been removed, third row seat has been removed. Headliner has been removed. The spare tire will soon be removed as well, I believe today or tomorrow.

Here are my door panels

It's late, I will uploade more later.

What are you guys thoughts so far?

Door panels look awesome!!! I'm already near deaf, so I would never plan on doing anything this extreme

 

[DjDom]

How big are the door panel woofers? They look awesome.

Thanks man! They took a weekend or two to complete.

haha, yeah, I would consider this pretty extreme.

They are 12" 26 pound mids from Beyma.

Thank you for the compliment!

 

[DjDom]

12 inch mids. Do I want to know what you use for your lows?

haha, I will share with you in just a moment.

 

[Sencheezy]

Here is some pictures of the subs that will be putting in.

This is how all six will be mounted

I had Dual Inputs made for the subwoofer inputs. These were made by ToolMaker.

And here is a picture of the truck out of commission at the moment.

And here is an image of the truck during night.

Please, would love to hear some more feedback!

 

[DjDom]

Looks good. How many alternators/batteries are you gonna run?

thanks man.

Next year, for the small fee of $2,000, I'll have four under the hood haha. Right now, I have 10 with the intentions of adding 2 more.

 

[Sencheezy]

And here are some updates.

Box is still being worked on. And during this week. I will upload more updates.

Below is some of the hardware of this installation.

This week, the wire should be here. I ordered 100 feet of 3/0 welding cable and 60 feet of 6awg for the subs.

Here is an video update as well .

[Sencheezy]

Seems I forgot one!

What do you guys think so far?

I know FOR SURE I will be needing assistance as far as suspension upgrades are concerned. Especially since I'm adding near 2,000 pounds of weight.

Very nice truck. I can't wait to see the end results. And a video of that system banging. Good luck

Wanna spare me a nice 8 inch sub?

Here is a few pictures from the show.

Thought I'd come back and provide some update information.

Most of all this feedback will come from the past two shows.

I attended the EMF show in SC, then to Sundown HQ show in NC. Both had great turn outs.

Regarding the ethos. Man I really love them !! At the EMF show, I was applying 2600 rms per sub with really no sweet to report. I did have to let them cool down, but was like, once every hour or so. I demo'd from 10am-5pm roughly. This past Saturday, I demo'd from 10am-4pm roughly. But with 4k per sub. At this point, I took much more cautious and care while demoing. I would demo for about 6 to 7 people at a time, then to rest for about 15-20 minutes. Initially, for the first 2 or so hours, they were getting stinky and smelly. My belief for this is because of them being fresh recones being put in that Thursday. After that, no smell to report, but boy, there was some heat coming through. I could have keep going, just to test the durability or power handling, but there was no point. I played it smart, as these will have to last me till World Finals. I'm going to look into a portable a/c unit to blow into the enclsoure as there seems to be heat that is just trapped in there.

Doug Fabio was able to measure the coils and magnets. Magnets got to 125 degrees and the coils got to 135 degrees.

I left the day with my best score to date, which was a 162.3

I would say, with both events combined, 8 out of 10 people would say my vehicle was their favorite demo. Which speaks high volume considering back to back triple point events, the people that were there, and the locations.

All of that being said, there is no other subwoofer that is better at either their power rating, or pricing, period.
