    Awesome man I love how your doing everything and catching every little thing on video. You have the best videos to me and im always looking for new ones. I love how your just like 95 % of all car audio guys and doing what you do. Keep doing what you do. Ive been watching your videos for over 3 years!!!

  • @imbatman5281
    @imbatman5281 Před 7 lety +6

    hey bro, just quick tip may or may not help ya but when running speaker wire just hook pull string on OEM speaker wire and pull it out. Then u can just hook new wire to string and easily pull it thru boot. So easy and fast for me personally.

  • @JOEGGGJOE
    @JOEGGGJOE Před 10 lety +28

    Now, that's a lot of wood. How much do these door panels weigh? Should of made a mold.

  • @EXOcontralto
    @EXOcontralto  Před 12 lety

    You must not comment much, because after a video is online for a few days, I reply to EVERY comment ;) -- Just replied to about 100 people these past few hours here. But as far as your question goes, it's basically the same thing, you just need to plot out a cut mark for your handle in the beginning, so you can wrap it accordingly in the end!

  • @Hunterstraw
    @Hunterstraw Před 12 lety

    I just want to say thank you for responding to our comments. Your channel's are a reference "book" for when I need help or want to get some ideas. All of the other big youtube stars don't respond at all, but you actually take the time to. So thank you.

    How do you mount the panels to the doors? And did you have to upgrade your hinges to support the weight?

    • @Carlitosway211

    @salvation7962 Před 10 lety +9

    Damn nice.... for a minute I thought it was gonna be mickey doors. How much do they weigh with speakers and all? Seems like all the extra pounds would ruin the doors hinges.

      Could I keep the clothe material instead? Just by adding reseign solution and letting it harden up?

    • @TunedThunder97
      @TunedThunder97 Před 6 lety +1

      Marcus Vasquez you can but i dont reccomend it, but it just depends on how well you do the fiberglass job

  • @baronvonfritz
    @baronvonfritz Před měsícem

    Geez, after watching your latest monster bass van build vids I got all nostalgic, and went to see when you put out the video that first caught my attention. Has it been 11 years already?!?!
    So psyched for you EXO! Your monster bass van is raiding hard! Can't wait to see the next one after you get all the engine guts toughened up, you look so proud of yourself and you deserve to be! All that hard work is paying off!
    Favorite bass songs recommendation: The sorrow - Never Too Far, Galimatias - Blow Back, Glass Animals - Black Mambo

    Exo your progression of skill in car audio has definately gained my respect over the years. I remember tge beginning when u were toyin around with bs everyday audio but look at ya now. An absolute genius. I look to u for simplified tips u make a challeging install so much easier because local audio shops will leave so much out in detail to force u to spend alot of unnecessary money thanks honie keep the vidz coming...

    Awesome video as always EXO
    A good tip, when you are trying to fish the speaker wires through rubber grommets you can use a little bit of silicone lubricant spray or other rubber / plastic safe lubricants if the wires are being stubborn or are very close to being too big to fit.

  • @TheSamson50
    @TheSamson50 Před 12 lety

    HEY EXO. i should have proposed this as a neat thought earlier, though try a horn style speaker design like a smaller shape of a megaphone directly along with the speaker so you get a louder thud with any bass, maybe bend the wood to make a compression, and use a slim-line subwoofer / mid-range-to-low, or even many small speakers like that. and i agree with the top rated comments man, the longer videos are more interesting and captivating. Anyways sorry for the long comment.
