Dude. This is the funniest shit ever. I fucking love this channel! I’ve seen your videos long ago and I’m so glad I rediscovered them again. Thank you algorithm lords.
Rrrrrrrafas gettn overspray on his phone!:) loved the cypress remix. I have tons of episodes to catch up on since the new year I haven’t had time to watch with a new job and shtuff. All the sounds, music and wakyness I’ve missed like the desserts miss the rain. And I saw the sign 🤖
Doug's brain will [explosion] when he finds out that companies make chamfer bits that he could use on the CNC router to bevel the edges before he takes them off the table.
Hey ! Just the guy I’ve been looking for . I have a 2016 corolla and about 3 months ago I installed 2 kicker 12’s in a band pass box and I have to admit it sounds pretty good only when I have my rear seats down but when I have passengers in my car all I hear is rattling no bass whatsoever. I was wondering , should I switch out the box ??
I agree, that sub woofer is a little sub standard, but it sounds great, as long as the customer doesn't drive it with too much power. That iPad bezel looks BEAUTIFUL!!!! I really like that. The way it slides in, then, slides down onto the mini-USB port for charging and data transfer is absolutely genius. Almost a "factory" look.(I'm glad that router didn't take material off of you) The sub woofer box looks like the damping is just right. The cone excursion looks like it doubles, for each octave the frequency of the tone goes down. If that's happening at a steady amplitude, that indicates that the box is well matched to the Thiel/small parameters of the driver. You don't always need a super-expensive driver to get good sound quality. It just needs to be loaded in an ideal acoustic environment, and it looks(and sounds)like you've achieved that. Good work!
This is how all Alpine stuff is now!!, When I was a boy and someone said they had an Alpine deck in their ride (they didn't make subs then) We thought they were rich and had the epitome of all decks even better than clarion!! But as we can see Japan has fallen from their throne of electronic prowess to the gutters. Which is something they have had issues with in the past according to Wikipedia regarding the company. "At the Alpine Museum in Japan there is a model "7307" radio/tape recorder (circa 1981)[2] shot by an American (Roger Holdaway of SpeakerWorks in Orange Ca) using a .45-caliber pistol at a distance of 4 feet. The owner, frustrated with the performance of the product, shot the unit and returned it to Alpine. This gesture brought home to Alpine the importance of product quality, and as a result they spent US$25 million on a testing and evaluation centre in Iwaki-city, Japan." So apparently the have allowed the bean counters dictate business again. Too bad eh? Same with Fujitsu Ten (Eclipse). Sad days indeed. Motorola should step back up to the plate they created (the one that gave them their start and namesake) and make car audio great again! and maybe create an American Production facility and create some jobs as well! Ok enough hopeful rants. I'm out. Alpine = Shit it's to be expected not everything can be a sundown I guess... Stay High fellas! Love ya Doug and Rafa, full homo.
Sure, that Alpine sub isn't a Sundown, or an EMF, but, you don't need the most expensive driver to get good sound. What matters most, is that the sub woofer is loaded in a box, that matches the Thiel/Small parameters of the driver. This well damped ported box seems to be ideal. The only thing is, that the customer needs to know, that it won't handle as much power as a high end driver would. If he's careful, this can sound excellent, even though it can't be played as loud.
I have a speaker tester made by rafa in an alpine face plate case that I won years ago for best comment. Hit me up if anyone is interested. Video proof in old shop video
I always wondered How many iPads have you and Rafa installed in your lifetime, because Rafa has been knocking out a lot lately. Doug try and do the math so the World Can put you in Guinness Books of iPad Legacy. Even though you are the legend. Hahaha
I like to see the polyfill to lower the box frequency. I bought a box tuned to around 39 hz and I was going to lengthen the port but with box volume losses it's a diminishing returns type of thing. I used high loft polyfill batting stapled in so it doesn't get sucked into the port. I don't have a way to test how much it lowered the Fb but it sounds good. Some will say don't polyfill a ported box but I don't like the sound of a big hollow box. Good on you buying Reggie a new speaker, you da man Doug.
Reggie will get his sub in about 6 months!! Hey Reggie look at the bright side you'll be getting it before we get our nut danglers I mean bass danglers!!!!🤣🤣🤣
i got an old 1000w rms SWR-12D4 thats a trooper. I noticed the new versions of it are only like 500 watts rms. it heats up like a stove top when shit starts clipping though, but faithfully takes 2kw no problem.
*@**1:08** Arm drag, raked burned junk into the garbage can- in one fell swoop.* *That had me ROFLMAO.* *You should've test bumped it with the Fall River pack.*
Good job on these kits Doug. I don’t think anyone was getting the Adam jabs you were throwing but is he still with sonic electronics? and what is the song you have played in the last 2 episodes. This time it started at 17:15
Hey Doug I found something cool. You might like to add to those kits. It's a magnetic charging cable. just go on Google and Google It ,magnetic charging cable , It is freaking awesome and it would be awesome for your addition to the iPad kits.
What is the deal with the acrylic kits? What is the point of using acrylic if it is going to be painted? I thought it only got used to make midget disco panels..
Funny, as soon as I clicked on video, my colon said... " Yo dawg ! I'ma puuuuuuuuuke !!!! " I think my poop schedule is set to only make chocolate cigars to amplified . Wait wait wait...is Rafa free loading in ya shop? Now all da sudden he's like some sorta of jaime angilo of UA-cam.....is he paying you rent! Brown boy bettah have ma moneeeeee! That's cute, he's holding up his macaroni art like he's a 5 year old.... " Oh we are so proud of our little ninho 🤗😍🤗😍"
Name of DnB track if anyone was wondering: Total Science, Digital & Spirit - Rumble And Doug Please stop being so cocky even as a joke, its getting old, you had a serious oversight in this one, not checking that woofer first before building a whole box for it... At least you don't hide your mistakes so kudos for that man!
I had a brand new alpine 6.5 coaxial do that right out of the box. They sent me a new one but I put the project on the back burner. It makes me nervous though because I have $5k of unopened alpine equipment sitting in my garage waiting to go in my bus.
Ahh man Reggie 😂 you done got the hookup even though you aynt a lb! Lol don't worry there some that will get that but yeah our hero is working on his craft of audio again! Lol good vid Stay Eazy
Loved the intro Doug, really cool. That kit you made looks amazing, Rafas was meh :) Actually it was pretty rad as well. Shop looks super efficient and clean AF.
I spent the last couple weeks catching up on when i stopped watching (2 years ago) and god damn. Fucking t-bird is sick, and your f150 box turned out stellar.
Rockville wouldn't be so bad, if they didn't embellish their ratings so much. Modern amplifiers are so powerful now, due to class "D" switchmode technology, that the ratings are REAL! People who deal in high end car audio are used to the actual specifications, not the hyped up specs, like we saw back in the '80's. If a company is using those ratings, and pairs an embellished driver with a real amp, smoke comes quite easily. Alpine, Blaupunkt, Kenwood, and other brands that used to be the "must have" are all the same. Good bang for the buck, but they are no longer considered "high end".
Recently blew a Focal 165 KRX2 mid woofer and I had a old alpine s series 2 way laying around I threw it in there and it’s taking all 250 Watts I’m throwing at it. No wait it’s 175 it’s a 4ohm speaker the focal was 2ohm it drew more power but still I was impressed it could take that big DC audio 175.4 😂
Yo this starting episode cracked me the hell up lol Slinky 🤣🤣
Thanks Doug for always delivering smiles every Monday and Thursday. I appreciate your genius humor and teaching us how to do amazing work. Peace bro.
I love how organized the shop looks now, so much more room. It's crazy to think how cramped it was while building your projects.
If I purchased it and drove around the block and came back with it sounding like lips flapping, would you warranty it?
Yep
Kevin Larios
Open zipper?
I think this show needs some Goonies .
When I saw the blown woofer reveal, all I thought of Chunk saying ‘ahhhhh shit!.
The sounds you make when your building the iPad kit makes everyone in the house think I’m watching something else haha
I love the relationship that Russell and you have. It's a beautiful thing really.
Doug built the ultimate queefing box lmao
At least if it rains and that guys sunroof is down his ac controls won’t get wet. Didn’t know Rafa installed awnings on dashes!
That was nice to buy a new sub.
Love these longer episodes !👍🏽👍🏽
Dude. This is the funniest shit ever. I fucking love this channel! I’ve seen your videos long ago and I’m so glad I rediscovered them again. Thank you algorithm lords.
A moment of silence for Rafa not hiding the plug for the F150 kit.
Collective soul... shine. Great song.
Rrrrrrrafas gettn overspray on his phone!:) loved the cypress remix. I have tons of episodes to catch up on since the new year I haven’t had time to watch with a new job and shtuff. All the sounds, music and wakyness I’ve missed like the desserts miss the rain. And I saw the sign 🤖
Doug's brain will [explosion] when he finds out that companies make chamfer bits that he could use on the CNC router to bevel the edges before he takes them off the table.
I was thinking that same thing! lol
That last part was so funny that it made Doug laugh 😎

Remember kids, always torque the screws on you woofer :)
Another kick azz show 👍👍
Your sound effects crack me up....Oh go figure. look at this, look at this 🤣🤣🤣
Rafa needs to do a new ford dash and put that ugly as wire into the design
art There must not of been enough space to fit the connector, probably couldn’t move the iPad up any further.
Some company needs to make a 90 degree type C cable 🤔
Those iPad kits are pure fire 🔥
I care about Reggie. I'll buy a shirt after I get paid.
Love the new intro to the show!!

Glad your Reno is done looks great love watching you and Rafa build shit
Good episode always love watching the SMD meter be used
Rafa 🤷♂️ when he realised he forgot about the cable for the ceral box 😂😂
I might have missed it. But why did you go to acrylic?
He just uses it when he makes custom ones.
You know its bad when the Alpine sounds like Rafas mom queefing.
I have a speaker tester made by rafa in an alpine face plate case that I won years ago for best comment. Hit me up if anyone is interested. Video proof in old shop video
Why not use a 90° cable like Rafa we all know he's not straight so it would make sense
I love my boy Doug but when these two are together it's priceless 🤣
My favorite part of the week
I always wondered How many iPads have you and Rafa installed in your lifetime, because Rafa has been knocking out a lot lately. Doug try and do the math so the World Can put you in Guinness Books of iPad Legacy. Even though you are the legend. Hahaha
What glue do you use for the clear Lexan iPad kit?
So you build a spot so Rafa dont get the cars full of overspray but he doesn’t used it 🤦🏻♂️
Shadow Komori Life Come on, we all knew that was going to happen... 😆
Feels like I’m watching a Michael Bay movie 😂😂
Love this guy
Hey man love the videos. What would u recomend for sub box on 2018 ram 1500 quadcab i like to get 1 bad ass 8 inch or 1 10
"Oh, go figure, look at this" 😂
Good shit Doug love your show 😂

Dude you're a class act! 🤣😂
18:50 Douglas you need to work safer. An injury is going to slow you down. Work smarter. Use the cnc to make a holder and hot glue it to the bezel.
Digging the music. Collective soul was a nice touch 👌
i got an old 1000w rms SWR-12D4 thats a trooper. I noticed the new versions of it are only like 500 watts rms. it heats up like a stove top when shit starts clipping though, but faithfully takes 2kw no problem.
GEL! Yessssssss
*@**1:08** Arm drag, raked burned junk into the garbage can- in one fell swoop.*
*That had me ROFLMAO.*
*You should've test bumped it with the Fall River pack.*
Nice Build! Is there no 90 degree cable you can use for the port?
still best show on utube
that box is gonna swell ;)
Yes test bump Thursday's
Good job on these kits Doug. I don’t think anyone was getting the Adam jabs you were throwing but is he still with sonic electronics? and what is the song you have played in the last 2 episodes. This time it started at 17:15
Had to pause the video just to say, that ghosted driving footage in the intro is noice!
Hey Doug I found something cool. You might like to add to those kits. It's a magnetic charging cable. just go on Google and Google It ,magnetic charging cable , It is freaking awesome and it would be awesome for your addition to the iPad kits.
My day just got better
What is the deal with the acrylic kits? What is the point of using acrylic if it is going to be painted? I thought it only got used to make midget disco panels..
we got old Raffa with the nice swade layed out in the dirty ass parking lot..... nice touch... but still a killer video doug!!
Finally. Like that speaker, I'm taking a 💩
What kind of glue is that in the brown glass jar
Like the Candlebox again!
Funny, as soon as I clicked on video, my colon said...
" Yo dawg ! I'ma puuuuuuuuuke !!!! " I think my poop schedule is set to only make chocolate cigars to amplified .
Wait wait wait...is Rafa free loading in ya shop? Now all da sudden he's like some sorta of jaime angilo of UA-cam.....is he paying you rent! Brown boy bettah have ma moneeeeee!
That's cute, he's holding up his macaroni art like he's a 5 year old.... " Oh we are so proud of our little ninho 🤗😍🤗😍"
Name of DnB track if anyone was wondering: Total Science, Digital & Spirit - Rumble
And Doug Please stop being so cocky even as a joke, its getting old, you had a serious oversight in this one, not checking that woofer first before building a whole box for it...
At least you don't hide your mistakes so kudos for that man!
I'll go pick up reggie's alpine and deliver it for you doug....😁
I had a brand new alpine 6.5 coaxial do that right out of the box. They sent me a new one but I put the project on the back burner. It makes me nervous though because I have $5k of unopened alpine equipment sitting in my garage waiting to go in my bus.
Ahh man Reggie 😂 you done got the hookup even though you aynt a lb! Lol don't worry there some that will get that but yeah our hero is working on his craft of audio again! Lol good vid
Stay Eazy
Top job
Is there any way to see the kits Rafa does installed?
Geee you really hold a grudge dont you 😂😂
Do get Allyn to build a box for the show sometime soon🙂❤
Looking good Doug! What you gonna do with that wire hanging down over the knobs? Tuck that! ICE CREAM!!!! BOOM!
Test Bump 🔥🔥🔥
Everyone knew that speaker was going to twist.
Loved the intro Doug, really cool. That kit you made looks amazing, Rafas was meh :) Actually it was pretty rad as well. Shop looks super efficient and clean AF.
Haven't heard that Collective Soul song and a long time goodshit keep the videos coming brother I love the content
The Highlight of this show is all the Wyked Throwbak Drum N Bass that Doug uses to start the fire
You’ve got to sample more of that NES Goonies II “Good Enough” Homer!
I can vouch that this is what Alpine woofers do.
Reggie’s sublyfe matters
I spent the last couple weeks catching up on when i stopped watching (2 years ago) and god damn. Fucking t-bird is sick, and your f150 box turned out stellar.
You go through all that hassle to build Rafa that treehouse and he won't use it wtf
FACT. Rafa is ungrateful!
just like wen doug built a speaker box 4 rafaz car dan sold it da next day wtf?🤔🤔😂😂
that slinky woofer sounded sweet.
Reggie be smoking that Reggie
Is that a Rockville Alpine?
Rockville wouldn't be so bad, if they didn't embellish their ratings so much. Modern amplifiers are so powerful now, due to class "D" switchmode technology, that the ratings are REAL! People who deal in high end car audio are used to the actual specifications, not the hyped up specs, like we saw back in the '80's.

Alpine, Blaupunkt, Kenwood, and other brands that used to be the "must have" are all the same. Good bang for the buck, but they are no longer considered "high end".
Hopefully, my gift for you newly renovated shop should be coming in next week. I really hope you enjoy it.
I hope it's dicks
I’m not even pooping and I’m watching
Outshined is a great background/transition music choice.
Try f-150 dash version 2 because that cable hanging out of the bottom completely ruined the whole thing.
Does anyone know the beat playing in the background @17:14? Thanks in advance.
Dam Doug. Your shop looks so much open bro...
*Watch the movie Daybreakers. The system in those cars is awesome.*
Recently blew a Focal 165 KRX2 mid woofer and I had a old alpine s series 2 way laying around I threw it in there and it’s taking all 250 Watts I’m throwing at it. No wait it’s 175 it’s a 4ohm speaker the focal was 2ohm it drew more power but still I was impressed it could take that big DC audio 175.4 😂
how'd that polyfill workout?????blasted out your port
this is like a Rafa show recap
That's a nice thing to do Doug. Be a man of your words and buy a new one after you blew the first. :). Good guy Doug.
Did u just plug in that type-s for 1ohm?
Oh, and can you PLEASE give Jason Barney the attention he so desperately needs?? GEEEZ!!
Aaaaaalleeeeeellluuuuuuuujjaahhhhhhh. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The 4 type Rs i had on a pair of hifonics 3ks back then didnt burned BUT the surround did unglue and the coil separated from the spiders 😂
