    Let's build some door panels!!! 20 speakers for 12 subwoofers should do the trick 🔊😎

      Thank you so much for posting another video on the behemoth build. So awesome you're showing doors. That's my next adventure is putting a 12 in mid in each door of my four-door 2010 Toyota Corolla S

      Bruce, advice from a Russian colleague. the door had to be treated not with foam, but with glass sealant and 4mm vibration material, 2-3 layers. It seems to me that with the number of subwoofers you have, your doors are poorly reinforced, which can lead to damage to the metal

    Bruce, the expanding foam trick to stop the rattles in the door is what I’ve been doing for years for trunk lids! It works GREAT to stop those pesky rattles, and makes the overall sound be SOOOOO much better!!! Love your positivity and am loving your updates! Keep on keeping on! You rock brother!!!!!

    2-3 hasty/shoddy installs as a kid.
    2+ acceptably done, yet Wally World sourced installs in my 20's, +
    10+ YEARS of wishing, dream building, researching sound, experience, and YT vid installation tips/ideas/techniques, +
    1 year of dedicated saving, +
    2+ years of slowly piecing together the best SQ audio components and fabrication materials I could reasonably afford, =
    THIS WEEKEND (other than my KW head unit and ridiculously overpriced but necessary fascia, which I installed months ago) I begin my first, from the ground-up, "professional-level" complete car audio build; electrical/charging system, batteries, wiring, connections. sound treatment, amp racks, speaker pods, processors, more than I wanna type here... Thank GOD for channels like you Exo, CAF, Steve Meade, etc, that have inspired me and kept the ideas rolling. You, specifically, show that with hard work, you can build just about anything imaginable. Thank you! Great stuff, as always! Watching this, I kept picturing the clip of that long-haired dude in the black SUV who gets his hair just blasted straight back off his head when the bass hits🤣🤣 Kept expecting that to be you in this one🤷‍♂️😂 God bless!

    Let's Gooooooo with Exo. Bro it's been a over a decade since I discovered your channel and your content has never disappointed.
    You did a fantastic job on the door panels without a CNC everthing cut by hand.
    I'm not taking any shots at anyone that uses a CNC cause I'mma be real. If I had the money to burn, I'd use a CNC, too. But hand tools do the job just as nice, maybe not as precise, but definitely gets the job done.

  • @woldemortxyz7996
    @woldemortxyz7996 6 місяців тому

    You were so close to perfection!
    All the work you put into those to make them look nice and be rigid, you should have just made completely sealed enclosures for the midranges and midbasses.
    It makes so much of a difference, especially for high motor force PA drivers, like those neos, to be in a sealed or ported enclosure, instead of a leaky box that makes them like IB and lets the door flex. Then you could also put some damping behind the Midranges to tame the standing waves inside and get a lot clearer sound.
    If you don't already, I'd also separate the 8s and 6.5s completely, make the 8s play like 70-200Hz and 6.5s play 200-2kHz, so they don't play over each other.

    After running wires through so many door jams and motorcycle handlebars. I have found another method that works well, is getting the little swivel chains for ceiling fan lights and taping that to some thin weed eater string and then tape it to my wire and then just hold your tongue right and it'll all come through...eventually.

    you can use hvac aluminum tape (or black metal tape to keep it black) to cover the edges to it is not goopy in the future or if you have to handle anything while it's warm/hot.
