Steps Covered In This Vid:
1: Sealing Off B-Pillars
Keeping the sub box and front cabin fully sealed from the sides and rear helps increase spl. I figure out the curved shape by measuring across every 4 inches, then connecting the dots to trace a perfect taper that matches the B Pillar. Cutting plywood on table saw then using jig saw to finish accurate cuts.
2: Gluing New Panels On Driver Side
-Attaching panel with loctite PL Max so the expanding foam sprayed behind acts as a platform to mount on top. Mounting the wooden piece is very easy due to pressure from being wedged tight. 2 layers thick should be strong enough to prevent bad amounts of flex or unwanted vibration. Adding angle iron to the outside will make it stronger as well.
3: Removing Handle Brackets
Gutting the rest of the useless parts for added clearance. The two handles stick out far away from the b-pillas making the surfaces uneven and harder screw into. To brace it up properly a flush surface is best for staying flat from top ceiling to bottom floor. Used an oscillating saw to remove the large metal chunks.
4: Filling Up The Passenger Gaps
Breaking the last segment up into thirds, that way drawing and fitting the gradual curves to the roof don't cause any interference with the factory sliding door track or upper stock braces. Acts as increased bracing and seals the smaller bits that couldn't be customized on piece #2. Used 1/4" nuts & bolts and self tapping screws to secure to vehicle frame.
5: Plotting Important Design Data
Marking out the key areas where the steel cage and wooden squares to screw into. This will line up all the strongest points that way the hardware bites really hard into the material. This extreme install needs ALL THE STRONG aspects it can get.
6: Cutting Final Sides to Enclosure
Putting the biggest pieces in, double checking fitment and spacing. These large sections of plywood get screwed against the walls in order to get EXACT measurements for the internal dimension. Maxed out all edges, literally as large as it will go. Need as much rear chamber volume as possible to keep tuning low and displacements not a huge problem.
7: Figuring Out The Wheel Wells
Because the wheel wheel dimensions are so close to hitting, the existing baffle setup with 8 18s is causing massive issues. IT JUST WON'T FIT!!! Or will it? Makes our subwoofer overlap or baskets get cut, uh oh. Had to troubleshoot like crazy
8: Choosing a Box Design
Picking the loudest design and the most musical designs don't always match up together. Plans started with a front firing 6th Order with 8 18 inch subs, then slowing transformed into a laid back series tuned 6th with 12 18's. Had to change the plan due to lack of adequate space, little port area, loading issues, and the pain in the butt factor.
9: Explaining New Boxes Design
Going through all the details of the bigger bandpass enclosure. Showing how to use the quarter wave theory when trying to tune a very large chamber. Illustrating how matching the QWL (quarter wave length) frequency can help with tuning variables within a given target range. Rear ports, front port and cabin size all play roles and affect how well the bandwidth will pressurize throughout.
10: Switching The BAFFLES
Changing baffle layout to begin building alternative alignment. Marking the hole centers for pilot holes then using a router and circle guide to cut perfectly sized circles. These cutouts will be flush trimmed using a flush trim bit.
11: Layering More BAFFLES
-Stacking more layers atop the template. Will be 5 layer. Had to trace out subs, leaving a buffer zone for the jigsaw to cut larger than exact holes. Wood glue and screws will stick them tightly together. Staggering the seems as the plain is seamed to begin with.
PLUS MUCH MORE!!! 😊

HEY GUYS!!! Moving into the NEW HOUSE in less than 10 days 😎 Here's another full length build episode to celebrate the good news!!! Thanks For Watching 📺
Today's Question Challenge:💡
WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE *UNLIMITED SKILLS* or... *UNLIMITED MONEY?* 🤔
Congrats man!
Can’t wait to se the build done!!!
Unlimited money. You can hire out skilled professionals with a schooling background to take care of it for you. No stress on your part. I would rather sit back and enjoy.
UNLIMITED SKILLS 4 SURE :) WITH SKILLS YOU MAKE MONEY BUT MONEY CANT MAKE SKILLS!!! :)
Unlimited skills
Looking awesome dude! This build is going to be insane. And to answer your question unlimited skills 💯%
I would have unlimited money to pay people what I want done. Not a broke person with skill.
A person with unlimited skills would never be broke.
@@whitecompany18 Agreed, I would much rather have unlimited skills to be able to do it alllll !!! Money will always come and go, but having all the skills is priceless!
@@whitecompany18 almost impossible for someone have unlimited skills.
@@huggywuggy3608 basically every human mind wants to know everything.
The most I love about EXO is how he messes up badly, embrace his mess-up, and continue on living without batting as eye. Takes a big man!
got me hooked on this build, and honestly such a genuine guy i swear it’s impossible to not like exo!😂💯🤝
We all know the endresult is going to be epic, but the way to that point is getting epic as well thanks to you!
I would choose unlimited skills, even with no money you would get everything you want done since you will know how instead of paying anyone to do it. You would also never be broke since people would ask you to do stuff for them.
Unlimited skills the money will come naturally.
Everyday I check my subscription to see if you uploaded an update. Wait was well worth it!! I hope your new home brings all the joy to you and Elise.
Unlimited skills for sure. With unlimited skill you can make as much money as you need. Money can't buy you skill.
Triumph through adversity brother. Glad to see you're still putting out content in the midst of all your life situations. Keep it up bro proud of you
Unlimited skill, money doesn’t matter if you’re not doing something that makes you happy. Car audio allows me to do something I love while learning new skills.
Yup skills first, money will follow!
Definitely unlimited skills. When I was younger, I searched for the almighty dollar, and found it, and was absolutely miserable!! The old cliche really is true, money can’t buy you happiness.
Money can't buy you happiness is just something people with money say
that may be true but id rather cry in a bad ass ride than under a bridge!
To a certain extent you are correct. However, when the electricity in the house is shut off because there is no money to keep the lights on, happiness stops when sweat is running down your leg as you try to sleep.
When you have lived both worlds of not having anything to having anything you want, it brings context to this. I had just about anything that I wanted and was miserable. My thoughts and focus was all around getting more money. After a while of having this mentality, I looked around to see the only things I had to show were physical possessions. I only had fair weather friends, I didn’t associate with my family much at all, and there was no one at home at the end of the day. I was alone. Even in a crowded room I felt alone. While at the drag strip, I had the fastest car there, but had no one to enjoy it with.
Then I lost it all, literally. My world came crashing down and I found out really quick what is truly important in my life. My only possessions were what would fit in the bed of a truck. I didn’t even own a car and I was homeless, but strangely enough joy started coming back into my life.
It was not money and physical possessions that brought joy. Joy and happiness was found with things that money can’t buy. True friends, good relationships, and meaning in life are things that money can’t buy.
I’m not saying it’s easy because it’s not. Life it easier when you have money. But you cherish things more when they are hard to get.
@@91CavGT5 now try it the other way around. Guaranteed you'd be singing a completely different tune my friend
Unlimited money forsure.... that way I could hire guys like you with the skills.... we all win 😂
This guy is so amazing and talented been watching him for a long time now and always makes me smile god bless you brother ❤️
Gotta Love him ,,,,,,,
@@adamp2 100% bro
As an installer, from the 90's till today...I have learned much install tricks, and so forth, from EXO myself over the past few years. It's always great seeing innovation come to fruition with these builds. You are a top notch guy all around, and soo humble. I started watching you goofing around in the Caravan days, till now. Never a dull moment, and I commend you for staying true to yourself, and the hobby. Good luck Man!
I just started watching for this build cant wait to see the next episode
Absolutely love EXO. been watching a long time. I honestly believe we are watching a world SPL record being built. Keep it up EXO. You are the man, love watching your videos.
Unlimited skills all the way being able to make something your self is so rewarding
Always Saving my life motivational..... Salute to everyone. Unlimited skill.
I look forward to these build videos! Love em and keep er going Exo!
Hands down this is some of the best, most refreshing content on youtube rn. Dont stop being you Bruce
It was great to see the baffles being off set to keep the strength and integrity top job Bruce.
Every time I watch your videos I can feel that inspiration that makes me walk forward again
Exo g.o.a.t
So frickin’ excited for the finished bass mobile!!
Unlimited skills... Simply because those skills will earn you the 🤑💰
I often cringe by watching how you do some things. I will give you a shit ton of credit with the amount of detail you put into your work and channel. Your passion with mobile audio is truly next level. Congrats on your new move and wish you blessed and safe travels. I have been in hospital for 2 wks now dealing with Covid. Its really great to forget things and watch your vlod! Thanks EXO 💪😎
I hope you get well soon and kick that nasty covid to the curb!
@@MrDopey32 thx george. Im one of the worst cases in s texas. Been in ER since 26th. Its gonna be a long road but ill bounce back fast once i can get back home!
@@JTMoney333 get well bud
It's like I didnt even hear the question fully, instantly went to skills. but then I realized I've been teaching myself skills for the past 26 years of my life, I could definitely use unlimited money. But then again if I had ALL the skills I want, I could single handedly change the entire world. Unlimited skills is a no brainer!
Okay Exo I'm supposed to be sick in bed but I'm watching your UA-cam video. You do have the most badass build video's on UA-cam
I hope it gets better my friend
Unlimited skills. From a car audio perspective, I've had a blast building my first few boxes and making custom door pods but they don't look anything like your work. I get discouraged by the way the end results look but then I remember that everyone starts out somewhere, even the pros like Mark, from CAF. With unlimited skills i could become a master fabricator and make my projects come out nicer.
Hey, I have a question that I hope you can answer, my question is if you could make another video of song to play for bass for the bass playlist. Pls and thank you.
Unlimited skill. Beacuse you could make more money than you would ever need doing the things you loved.
My guy. You have some absolutely amazing craftsmanship. I applaud you for that!
Nice to see her helping chase the dream.
Ofc unlimited skills
Here for another banger, Dropped a like 👍
Unlimited skills no question. With the skills you could earn all the money you could ever need. Not to mention you would be able to do it any way you choose, or in multiple ways. All of which you would love to do. 100% win/win. great update video. Can't wait for the next one.
haha yes, Exo must have some amazing wood glue discount with the absolute insane amounts he's always using lmao :D
Dude I swear to god this is the freaking most work I ever seen anyone do that involves car audio.. I have been keeping up with this project for freaking months already so seriously big big props to you man! You are truly one dedicated BASSHEAD and it sure doesn't go unnoticed!! Most people would had given up half way already Lol
Can’t wait to see the finished build, it’s gonna be loud 😂
It's been a lot of fun following this build. Thanks for taking the time to document the whole thing for us.
I just wonder how much he spent on wood since it's so outrageously priced!! But awesome build and can't wait to see it complete
More than you can afford pal... 12 ply 😂😂😂
Saya suka cara kerja kamu dalam renovasi sound subwoofer di mobil ven...kerja bagus👍👍👍
Unlimited skills, money will come with the skills!!! Blessed!!!
Unlimited skills. It sounds like it would be fun to be able to do any and everything you want with great skills. Everyday would be exciting
Unlimited skill no doubt. The adventures and hobbies you could have would be sure to bring about more happiness than money ever could
Unlimited skill, for sure
Skills are what make you, well, you. It gives you something to be proud of. Built, not bought
Who else been waiting for this video 👌
This is by far my favorite build going on on youtube right now, I love it man keep up the great work.
Skillz buddy !!!!! Gotta have skillz!
The effort you put into the editing really shows. The logical structure of the videos is great and it makes the 38 minutes to fly by in a heartbeat. I personally love that you don't skip out on build steps to squeeze the videos into a more typical 10-15min duration and try to pump them out more often than you feel comfortable with. Keep up the good work, bring us along and stay safe!
Haven't been watching lately i have to many hobbies lol. But i have to say I've missed me some Exo. Just something about the energy and even though I've never met him he's like an old friend.
Unlimited money… the fun part of life is learning so much but still having so much more to learn. The journey is never over and the process of learning the skills is my favorite.
Unlimited skills hence, money coming in! Can’t wait until the next update! I’ve learned so much watching you!
Bro the fact that you did this is honestly the most insane thing ever!!! Then you edited a video of it!!! WOW
Glad to see the behemoths coming along,and you're doing a great job EXO.
you work soooooo hard. I hope this puppy turns into the dream boom box and stays that way for a longggg time.
You have topped all audiophile efforts and awesomeness!!!
I love watching your videos!!! They make me happy and reminds me of when I built systems back in the day!!
Coming together really nice, and for my answer i would have to say UNLIMITED SKILLS for sure. With the skills you can make the money.
Wowsers Im so impressed with how far the behemoth is looking, I'm tuned in for the final results. I give this a phat thumbs up"
Son of a salamander had me in stitches. Love this project.
Hello from the UK 🇬🇧 I've been following this epic build and I have to say I'm mighty impressed by how things have come along. I'm sure you've come across many frustrating times making sure things come together. I think we also need to take the time to thank your beautiful and amazing woman who has helped and supported you through the build. Good luck with the moving of house and look forward to the next episode ✌
This build is crazy. That thing is going to be awesome
Unlimited skill! I would always be having fun making the money!
I would want unlimited skill🤔 You can make money easy if you have the skill on what you do! Also love the updates on the build Exo!

E.X.O= Exact Extreme Overkill! Unlimited skills by far.
Unlimited skill‼️ i can’t count the amount of times i had a image in my head and couldn’t explain how i wanted it to be builded to someone else so i had to do it myself.
Congratulations on the new house EXO, one of the best feelings in the world is owning your own home.
Welcome to Tennessee! I moved here 23 years ago and loved it from day 1
Unlimited skills. Could make easy money and help out making this world a better place in so many different ways!
Cant wait for the next episode! Loving the build so far :)
Another awesome build video! From the build, camera work to editing, two thumbs up, man!!!
Loving the build man! Doing a great job, and thank you for the technical breakdown on hertz and such. To answer the question, unlimited money for me, I could take the money get into the right classes and learn the skills the right way.. plus buy anything g my family and I wanted in the process 😆😆
I would rather have unlimited skill, what people lack is realizing we have the ability to master multiple skills, but negativity clouds that! Thanks for the honorable mention exo, keep up THE HARD WORK💪💪 shes going to absolutley pound!
Seu projeto está ficando muito bom.
Esperando o próximo vídeo
🤜🤛
Unlimited skills is my answer. Having unlimited skills have the potential to bring unlimited money. I also think that having unlimited skills would allow you to find what you love doing. If you love what you're doing then it's not work and will bring a bit of happiness. Everyone could use some of that.
This build is next level.
Unlimited skills no doubt about it.
Congrats on the home purchase my man!!! Build is looking amazing thus far!! Think I speak for us all when I say we love all the extras goodies in the videos but even if they weren’t present we would all still be here supporting ya Bruce!!
Love your work and passion EXO. I'm loving watching
Unlimited skills! With those you can pay the bills!
You are a mad man a genius, and yes go with your gut !! Go big!!
I would love uimited money. Money can't buy happiness but I love learning skills. You can learn skills. Money just supports the opportunity to learn. Love the videos EXO
Glad to see your build moving along. And congrats on the new place.
Skills for sure, all the skills pay the bills. Money would come easy with skills but being skillful equals feeling accomplished and happy. Money can't buy that.
Unlimited skill 🙌 Hands Down 👊
Amazing build, can't wait!
Always, unlimited skills as its about teaching others skills to progress humankind.
These videos are awesome and give great insight into the steps of creating a walled car audio build. Thanks EXO!

Very impressive! Project, Video and life juggling . . .
