As a Brit, I feel a surge of patriotism whenever I see a George (or his brother Henry).
We may not have an empire anymore, but we gave the world the vacuum cleaner with a face. And that's a legacy that never dies.
And a vacuum that never dies! My grandparents still have one from the early thousands and it still works *just fine*
@@CoffeeOnRails can't believe the Brits have been making vacuum cleaners for over a thousand years.
@@trulyinfamousyeah we tried the whole "colonize the planet" thing but in the end we decided to just go back to what were actually good at, hoovers
Same man love henry hoovers
As another Brit, I feel unable to prevent myself from making the observation that Henry Hoovers suck. 😂

I think track 2 will be particularly to his liking...
I love that Wade pulls in $34k a month on Patreon, yet nothing has changed about the content. The money doesn't go to his head, he just likes making videos for us. :)
The money goes to cars and head-ph-hoo-neys
I doubt that sub was cheap
He's got at least two people working for him regularly, James and his mother, he's renting a big fat warehouse, fixing up cars not worth fixing up, and building a fucking drum museum, I don't think he's particularly rich despite all that income lol.
@@thekingoffailure9967 Yeah, he obviously can afford to buy nicer things, but his content is not about how rich he is, it's all about screaming at outdated or generally old technology.
@@thekingoffailure9967 it's 1 dollar month
James saying "I can't make it stop" was comedy freaking gold. Also, the total change from beige to blue is making me very concerned that my 1997 Toyota Camry may actually have a blue interior as well.
my 92 corolla was the same way haha. after a cleaning it became blue.
Wade: “It’s supposed to be perforated!”
James: “ₒₕ”
those woofers are perfect. now you can create the sound of a bunch of tradies building a house next door whenever you want!
He can show that darn airport what a loud neighbour is like
2 12s(?) In the back of a Corolla is truly one of the things of all time
You know it's sad but true
nice pfp
I officially call my car a nugget because of you and I will not stop
When you start it: "wE aRmInG tHe NuGgEt" 😂
I’d say that my 2006 Renault Laguna is the worst nugget of ‘em all XD
I bought myself a pretty tidy dacia estate car, had a friend who asked how much I paid for it, and said I could have got something fancier (but less tidy) for the price, and I just replied that its just "An Car"
My literal number plate is now OLDNUG thanks to dank pods lol
I mean MCM were calling cars Nuggets before dankpods was even a thing. Guessing it's and Aussie slang thing
I pray that the Japanese worker that tightened all the bolts in that car made double sure those bolts were tightened REAL good.
Because those speakers are really gonna be testing them.
It's a yota half of em could disappear and you wouldn't know
I think these were made in Australia at that time
I couldn't stop giddy laughing along when the bass started hitting. A sun bleached Rolla with enormous Kicker subs shaking the body panels takes me right back to '98.
It still floors me just how effective George is. That thing went from "Wrecker-worthy" to "Near-pristine".
GEORG!
The lesson learned: NEVER DOUBT OLD MATE GEORGE.
Mate, George, Henry, Hetty, any hoover or vax from Numatic are amazing. So proud to be British
GORGE!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Pisses me off that Georges are only like $260 in the uk but priced gouged to fuck and back at $600 in the us.
All hail "the car"
Hail
Hail “the car”
May it run till the end of time
Hail
Hail

It's inexplicable how entertaining two mates cleaning a car interior can be.
I can only imagine the chuckle of someone stopping at a redlight with his windows rolled, hearing construction level rattle and turning around to see "the car" blasting scarlet fire
Even as an audio enthusiast you still get the fun of stupid bass. Real asf for that. 10/10 upgrades
I do think the woofers and the port should have faced outwards though because of air it needs to move, so i’m guessing he won’t get the full fartbass experience, but as long as the rear seats is down it’ll be good😆
I put some stinky alipines in the back of my work van, an old dodge caravan.
It does bring joy to hear fartbass rattling all the cheap Chrysler plastics loose.
I love the armada of cars Wade has now, it's like a nugget family
A whole Maccas box of nuggets.
@@techno1561 love how aussies call mcdonalds maccas too
Nissan Armada?
@@JK061996Groove Armada
That part where you took the old junk speakers out really took me back because I used to have a 1997 Corolla which was more or less identical to this one (but US spec, so it had those massive bumpers). I remember holding those old, nasty paper speakers and thinking, "This thing made sound?"
George is unironically my favorite non-human recurring character 🤣
Linus used to hawk his cable ties all the time before they made the screwdriver, this is the first time I see someone outside of LTT used it lol
I got cable ties like that when I bought my PC parts I think... I definitely got them with something. They are great!
Also I'm pretty sure James said he has an LTT screwdriver
I personally don't like the monocolor cable tie set, I have a thing of four different colors that I used to manage my cables at my desk so I know which cables are my aux, electrical, and hi fi wires
@@vappyreon1176 sounds like a good idea. If I ever get to the point of having to do serious cable management I hope I remember this
@@Furko08 yeah, it's pretty useful, and it doesn't take too long to do unless you have wayy too much stuff hanging around lol. I reccomend it
@@Furko08 he has an LTT screwdriver, look at 8:34
That 1998 50 cent coin MUST BE glued to the dash!
It would be a cool easter egg and a cool reference to the lucky penny that won the 1998 Daytona 500
Loved when James was going " How do I make it stop" and Wade was just "You got enough there" 😂
Always good to see old mate George. What a legend
I'm so proud of you for that amazingly early 2000's sub setup. Love the commitment.
Definitely needs neon tubes underneath for underglow now
And no paint rework.
I know! Kenwood? Kicker? Rockford Fosgate? It's the late 90s all over again! ^_^
@Nick Wallette true 90s would have an Alpine head unit as well 😅. My dad had MTX Audio stuff in his old Commodore
My dad used to have a big subwoofer in his 2002 honda jazz/fit. He always blasted it on high levels. This made the whole car rattle, but when it got rear ended in an accident, the rear window just fell out clean without breaking, because it had been separated from the glue, because of the subwoofer. Great times😅
That crash wasn't an accident, someone was jealous lol
@@sandror3841 the funny thing was, we had just fitted a new double din Pioneer radio into it, which was a pain to install, but it finally worked. It played dvd's, had bluetooth and it could be controlled with a remote in my hand, not on the steering wheel. Wonderfull radio, we still have it, but the jazz was totalled. We sold it on, now it's fixed and has a new owner. Our new 2012 Jazz has a standard radio now and my dad doesn't want to change it because it works very well. Might have to convince him to change the speakers one time. He's an hifi nerd(just like me) so that will be easy.
P.s. the accident happened because of an angry maniac, not a jealous guy.
As someone who works on a lot of Numatic products, including the George, this video makes me happy. I recently put a cable on a Henry that was from 1997 and it's still going strong. Also, this makes me miss the stereo I had in my VW Caddy I had in South Africa.
The spiders are gonna call the WOA to file a noise complaint
+1 for James's professionalism. He seems just as happy working on your nuggets as he would working on a classic car restoration.
I imagine he likes the challenge of it.
@@ruffethereal1904 And, honestly, goofing off with your friend making dumb shit. The cars are practically inside jokes between them - and the rest of us too!
Now you can replicate the experience you had with tony while going up the hill with those speakers!! Bonus points if you overheat it
"The car" is now "the portable sound-based weaponry"
"I've honestly been driving this." is definitely one of the sentences you can say about The Car.
A couple audio engineer notes re: the subwoofer
Obviously if you're happy with it, there's no need to mess with it, but
If you're having issues where the subwoofers are creating a lot of noise, hum, buzz, etc, you might want to try turning down the gain at the subs and turning up the volume at the bass knob (or elsewhere up the signal chain, idk what kind of EQ controls or whatever you've got on there). Analog cables are noisy, and cranking the gain at the end of the signal chain (the amp built into the subwoofer cabinet) means you're turning up all the noise introduced along the length of the cabling, so for purposes of signal-to-noise ratio, it's best to boost the signal level as early on in the signal chain as possible.
You would get a more focused response (read: more low end) from the subs by turning down the cutoff frequency. The advantage of subwoofers is that they allow you to split up the frequency spectrum into ranges and send those ranges to speakers so that each speaker can just focus on its own range. 250 Hz is pretty high for a subwoofer cutoff frequency, and setting it that way means you're feeding stuff that isn't really low end into it, meaning the subwoofer has to worry about not only the low end but also some low midrange, thus splitting its focus and reducing the amount of low end you'll get out of it. It's definitely a balancing act, because setting the cutoff frequency too low means you're forcing the main speakers to handle some of the stuff that the subs should be handling. At the same time, if you're getting 120 dB SPL out of your system, you probably have nothing to worry about, but if you're looking to really put those speakers to the test, you might try playing with the cutoff frequency.
Initially I was gonna tell you to shush and let people have fun, but this is a genuinely good comment for giving that sub even more gutbusting bass. Good comment :)
Gonna have to show this to my buddy who just installed a sub into his car.
250hz?! I run ~80hz!
@@Luke-we9gj Thanks! The way I see it, audio engineering is all about solving problems, so if there is no problem, there is no need for action, so I fully intend this as a guide for troubleshooting if there are problems like "that hum/buzz/etc is really annoying" or "I'm not getting as much low end as I want".
Shouldn't he run no cutoff on the sub and just do everything in the head unit? That's a valid config right? Otherwise thanks for explaining that quite well
In my experience the wing mirror spiders are like the adoring fan from Oblivion, no matter what you do to be permanently rid of them they always return three days later.

On this episode of Garbage Time, James installs a bangin stereo for his tunes
The duality of this man
- bought an expensive vinyl gear for the listening experience, owns several pairs of highly regarded headphones
- has two fuckhuge Kicker cannons cranked to 11 in his 1998 Corolla
never been a car person but for some reason I can't stop watching this channel
It's modern Top Gear
That was a really nice touch testing that new "sound" system with good ol' Scarlet Fire XD What a ride!
I believe you meant to say “ear-shattering noise” instead of sound, might want to fix that typo
@@imakethingI believe you meant to say "sound" instead of ear-shattering noise, might want to fix that typo
Your laugh at 14:41 sounds like a goblin who just stole a pot of gold dude I'm crying laughing
As someone who owns an imported toyota I can confirm if you've worked on any toyota you are now certified, I say this because even though my 90s toyota is drastically different when it comes to working on them they are all so similar. Also having a Kenwood head unit is definitely the best choice if you're running a sub due to it's EQ settings and cutoff etc (mine has a built in DSP, even though it can be difficult to undestand once you get it it makes a world of difference).
Awesome install, but just so you guys know subs will sound better and be much louder reversed firing towards the rear of the car. Also you’ll find it’s louder not having the amp maxed out but set correctly to match the gain of the headunit.
I have a 2008 Camry with 2 12’s in the boot making 145db on the daily in Adelaide too.
In case you ever want to snoop a faded receipt, if you get an iron or well, something hot an open flame works you just have to be careful, and gently apply it to the receipt it will give you a negative of what was printed on it, could be helpful!
I love the fact that this is more entertaining than a video on a Ferrari or Mclaren. Living your best life!
"Linus's Cable Ties"... feelsbadman, now they're Formerly Linus's Cable Ties.
mate i have rarely laughed so hard. nice to see that you finally take responsibility and put the effort into the important areas of a car!
Hey man, you'd already managed to get me into ipods, and now I'm also about to get a tony of my own, who knows, when I have a little more room I might pick up a drum kit too! Your enthousiasm works on me like a good teacher that makes you fall in love with their subject.
Thanks for doing your thing
Spamming 0 on the keyboard to continuously restart the video has brought me much joy.
I just purchased “the car”(1999 US Version) about a month ago and your video gave me inspiration to make “the car" into a boom box on wheels. Great video, mate.
Gotta love the effort you put in this videos, you even flip them upright so us "North hemisphere" Folks.
Man here i was thinking "wow what a nice stealthy stereo install, i bet that'll be gre-" BOOM, DUAL Kicker subs
You've outdone yourself, mate. That's fantastic.
14:07
I must be honest, that's a great transition to a heavy drop😂😂😂
george never fails to amaze me. hes probably the best purchase for the dank warehouse we've seen
This vid brings me back to putting a 12” subby in my dual cab rodeo, terrible listening experience but never fails to put a smile on my way
Happy b-day the car! Now we just need the old straight exhaust that Jeff had to complete the noise
i love how satisfying the video was with all the cleaning and neat radio install and then in the end you just turn the car into a jackhammer
they've built the ultimate stoned pizza delivery guy car
Wade: I love bass, but only when it's meant to be boomy
Also Wade: *Installs Subwoofers that outputs sound in the lightning dB range*
It's always nice to see a nugget being cleaned up a bit and getin' a decent/nice new sound system. 👍And I really like that ya retained the cupholders.
Also dunno if already been said, but maybe try playin' scarlet fire on the old speakers (if they're not dead already), to see if they can survive or for how long.
I like to imagine that most of your public isn't into cars but you are making them appreciate cars more than just a box that you drive to where you need to go. There's nothing that makes me die a little bit inside than seeing people who view cars as an appliance
The Car has become The Jackhammer with how much bass you can make it endure
You being on floatplane and actually using ltt cable ties is such a nice syngergy
almost as nice of a synergy as this segway, to our sponsor!
I swear you are teasing us by not changing spark plugs.
What's the bet that a new set of plugs would immediately snowball into another rebuild though..
With such Hard Work from George. You ought to get him a beer.
I’ll always love Dankpods, but this is by far my favorite of your channels
14:27 please don’t blow “the car” like a set of cheap headphones
i had the same exact car for my first ever car, it looked exactly like that and i am so happy to see you give it some love. I stickerbombed the whole trunk and painted it two tone because of the paint damage on the roof and hood. Very good times, thank you for helping me relive some of those memories lmao.
Man these were the un-killable car. Slow, nothing flashy but mine started even in -40 C temperature we have here in winter. It was decent for the time. The rust eat out mine after 12 years unfortunately.
This is the LTT equivalent of a sleeper PC. Sleeper audio system LOL
Oh I'm so excited to watch this. My own nugget just broke down on the side of the road and we're waiting for a tow. At least I have this channel to cheer me up and give me hope that she can be fixed!
Love your vids goob time have been subbed since the start with Frank shedding thanks for providing me with a quick laugh from Aussie and we are also kind of neighbours cause I'm in nz
In regards to that dash mat: I had a mid-2000s Toyota and that dashboard can EASILY crack in the heat and sun after a little while. That dash mat is super helpful, definitely recommend having at least something up there to cover it.
I bet if Wade put clear ceramic window tint on the windshield, it would help avoid cracking, since it blocks IR. If he got the windshield UV treated, that would be even better.
Being an audio/car nut and being a fitter of stereos and amps in my previous job, this was brilliant to watch. Got a similar set up in my V70 and I just love seeing people’s surprised faces when I drive past with some drum and bass banging out 🤣 they don’t expect a grandad car to be so loud hahahahahaha. Awesome video and nice clean up. Gotta love a stealth nugget
This is the perfect car for that one person at every intersection
Loving the nugget builds!
We may need an George Channel. He has a snake named Catalina who also shows up in this video and also crawls into seating. He sometimes reviews zipties, they're nice. His car also has a bass knob with a dirty sub. His system for reviewing the vibration resistance of nuts and bolts is viewed as revolutionary by other famous youtubers.
When you described driving around where you live, I thought, "wow, he just described driving in Dallas."
1:56 i just love how camera zoom kinda increases the feel of disappointed expression on the car front
14:32 the Honda at 3 am
this brings me back to my days of getting an R31 and getting a waaaaaaaaaaay to big kicker system installed on finance from WOW sight and sound.
Every time you find a coin in the car, it makes my little goblin brain light up. It's so fun to find old coins and little treasures!
Watching this was just like helping my cousin rebuild his ford thunderbird. I can feel the pride and attachment to this car you have all the way across the Pacific and through the youtube trashpile
Hey Dank! I do automotive trimming out my garage and I’d be more than happy to fix up that interior for you! Im at the other side of town but it would be an honour sir.
I can just imagine the endless possibilities
@@Justaguydointhibgs Shrek Green seats are a must 👌
I would put rubber mounts on the Amp if you are mounting to the box because of the vibration. And I would recommend tuning the Amp because how it is set up now is going to kill the Amp and the subs quick. After that, enjoy the beautiful setup.
Great job guys. Adding awesome speakers to old Toyotas should be a thing. I had 2 15 inch 1000 watt subs, 2 10 inch 3000 watt mids in the back where the 6x9s used to be, 2 6.5 400 watt mids up front and 4 1200 watt super tweeters, 2 tweeters in back 2 in front. Running on 2, 4 channel 4500 watt amps. Had 3 car batteries and a 50 farad capacitor. All that shoved into a 98 camry. Best sound quality I've ever heard. Was like a movie theater. Then after 250k miles a connecting rod cap ripped itself loose and blew a fist sized hole in my engine block. So sad.
"The spare tyre is now structurally integral to the subwoofer"
This is this truth
Ah, this reminds me of high school. Massive subwoofers in horrible cars that never get any maintenance. good times
missing the giant wheels and rubber band tires
