Does this man ever have enough speakers???? I brought some more DS18 EXL pro speakers to run on my crescendo S1 amp. It just makes sense to run the amp at 1.33 ohms so my speakers are protected from too much power and heat.

What's good YouTube man, that's your boy Yon Dub man coming at y'all with another video. Hey, welcome to the weekend
Hopefully for most of y'all. Welcome to a three-day weekend, man
Happy Memorial Day. Let me say that off top man. I hope everybody gets to enjoy the unofficial start of summer
It's starting to warm up around here in Omaha, man. It's been like
Cold this week and then yesterday yesterday. We got up to 80 today. We're supposed to get up into 70 somethings and
80s for the next couple days, but unfortunately, it's supposed to rain
Thunderstorm and all that good stuff man, but personally I don't care. Y'all see we got things on the table
So we do have an update. I think most recently I did an unboxing of my crescendo s2 amp
With me getting that s2 amp I did order some stuff from my guys at sky high
John was nice enough to send me out one of these here
Nice sticker there. So like I said when I was talking about the down for sound stuff
running out of real estate on the back window, man, but
Sky high I've been dealing with them for some years man. So
Definitely gonna put that on the window
Did order these I got some
102 4 gauge amp input reducers for that s2 amp
I already have I have some stinger ones that I did on boxing on a while back
So I do have the stinger amp inputs on the s1
so
Transitioning to the s1 that is actually the reason for this video
Like I said anything I got coming in. I'm gonna update it. Therefore. This is the sticker. This is amp inputs, but
What that is the s1 crescendo amp that I got that is a 1500 watt
RMS full-range amp and
The way I have it wired is down at 1 ohm. I don't want to blow the speakers because they're rated for 300 watts RMS
So I want to run it at 1.33. That's the reason for the update
Which brings me to these here?
Yeah, I want to got some more stuff man, I got some ds18 speakers
These are the 8 ohm version
So I want to unbox these
Pause this for a second. Let me see if I got something
And as I talk about pausing the video
Got this the other day as well just another digital multimeter
Still got my other one. I got like three of these maybe four
But when I get to working you can never have enough of screws
enough
Screwdrivers enough materials obviously with me. I can't have enough
Cutting instruments because I'm always ordering something
and once I get working on the card and this stuff just
Amazingly disappears, which is all on me though
I I know how I work and I'll get excited and stuff would just start going all over the place. So
That's on me
I don't the ds18 for
Hell out of this box man, I mean, thank you. I know it's coming from Miami, but
Ordered Brazilian amps with less protection and I can see why they protected it because
Stuff has been through hell
All right. Y'all see the package in there
Like I said, it's been through hell let's hope to God that the
The speaker itself is intact
so this is the same deal as when I got the
The forum version, this is just the 8-ohm
Nice
Ds18 cap
paper comb candy red, of course
There's your magnet. Let's get the other one out
Since the packaging is not too fantastic. I
Didn't get this last time. This is nice
Set the speaker aside for a little bit man, what is this?
I
Got this this time. I did not get this
The last time I ordered from them and the forum version of those speakers I ordered directly from them as well
Now with the introduction of the video with me saying some stuff about sky high I do have some stuff coming from sky high
That'll be here next week and
That I'll have something to do with the giveaway that I'm gonna have coming up real soon here
But yeah, like I said this these
these
Well, at least the product boxes have been through hell
Look at that
This one I did get the manual and a sticker with the other speaker. I did not for some reason. I don't know why
whatever
Let's get her out of here
this
Okay, so last time I got the stuff from well the last time I got the EXLs from ds18. They were good to go
The other products I ordered from ds18 was another
Directly from ds18.com was the drivers. You can see one back there over there right there
They came a little beat up on a box
Hopefully I'm stalling those today, so they'll be good to go. But both of these speakers look like they're completely intact
Candy red basket on this one too, of course, there's your magnet but
As far as on the visual inspection they look completely fine, so
They're gonna go in the car
So like I said, the only reason why I'm doing this is to run the amp at 1.33 ohms
Just to make sure that they're not being overpowered
Gotta stick with the candy red theme. I honestly wish that those horns were candy red. I thought they were a reddish
more red
Based on the pictures, but I'm not tripping on that man
Long as the theme remains the same black or red across the rear deck all ds18 equipment
We'll get her screaming tonight, hopefully
And it really depends if I can stand the lab or not
I think I might try to put the put the phone on airplane mode and just go for it, man
So we'll see what happens man
but no, it's a holiday weekend, so I
got time but
Is it time to install or time to party man, we'll figure it out man
but the main thing I want to do is make sure that it's time to install so
Like I could say or like always say stay tuned. There's more updates at least now
we are installing and like I said, the main thing for me to do is make sure that I'm getting all this stuff squared away as
far as
My mids are highs once I get the mids of high squared away, then that'll take care of everything
That I need in the trunk necessarily and then we can go
from the wheel well to the trunk to putting that
Big subwoofer box with the big subs in it and getting a little loud here, man
So stay tuned giveaway coming soon coming real soon
Y'all worried about that. I got I got a metal finger sliver on my finger the other day at work
So it hurts it's still in there. I don't know what to do. I don't want to go to a hospital
So we'll we'll see what if this hinders me at all today, but I don't think it will man
So main thing stay tuned more updates coming soon more updates coming real soon
And maybe tonight maybe tomorrow maybe sometime this weekend possibly even Monday
There's gonna be an update video maybe of a demo or something else
So stay tuned for that mention boy you end up you enjoy your weekend. Happy Memorial Day
Any questions comments concerns go ahead and hit me up man. I'm out of here
