Exo birthed ma love for bass petty much just got 2, 8 inch subs and I can’t wait to get them hooked up and here the bass I’ve loved bass forever but watching Exo over the years has definitely made me save for a system lol
I'd love to see what a thermal camera would pick up when you point it at the bends in your wires, while thumping of course...bet it gets pretty hot/bright..maybe you don't wanna know..just another thing to worry about. But it would be knowledge for the rest of us! Thank you exo..this van build was a very very long labor of love 🤙 congrats brother and much respect!
I've been watching Exo for quite a while now, and for the record, I am just an armchair bass enthusiat, and it seems to me that he learned so many great applications, which materials are best, and all that good stuff by watching other peoples' builds all this time. Behemoth is a patchwork of many different ideas and techniques that Exo has incorporated all those ideas into his own dream project, and here it is. Well done, Exo!!
It's been a pleasure to watch EXO's videos over the years. Starting from a kid who just likes bass and evolving to building his bass van. The most important quality that comes through in his videos is how encouraging he is to other bassheads. Whether you have an 8" bazooka bass tube and its your first system, or a fully custom setup that's pushing 100,000w rms, EXO is always supportive.
The other day i saw a post of a random oldschool dodge caravan and brought me back to your older videos. From the orion days to the first pair of XXXs you got. You have come a looong way. 😁👍
Met Exo at Slamology. The patience he had while everyone there talked his ear off was amazing. Just wanted to say a thank you to you and your wife for being so nice, patient, and authentic.
A 166db+ in the kick is beyond a good spl score. Bruce your amazing and that build you built is beyond amazing. I meter around a 151db at 41hz on glass so you almost metering a 165db on glass is also amazing. If anyone is into smaller no wall builds thats what I got ✔️IT OUT👍
I'm so proud to see you getting to finally enjoy your dream build. I've been watching you since this was just a thought. You did great brother. Much love.
I check you and Doug’s channel at least 3x a week to see if you’ve uploaded. I love your content brother, so much positivititty and passion for car audio.
I have no idea how many years I've been watching your channel, and I am here to stay. there are very few channels that can succeed at working on one single project for years.
So I was into car audio from about 1992 up until about last year. Last system was two DB 3015's on an 8k. I just literally woke up one day and thought...man you know there's no point in spending money on this anymore. It's all the same bass just different packages and volumes. So I sold everything and went with a single Kicker 12" for that low end fill on metal. But, EXO you're channel is the only one I still follow. Unfollowed Parker, Price, and Meade. You're videos are just so refreshing with the positive attitudes and how much fun you're having.
EXO, For box tuning for no 13 option that you mentionned, One great way to EASY remove air volume inside the box is actually filling it with bag of water with external hose connected inside to the bag so you can add or remove water from the bags withjout moving something by yourself. This easily tune your box. Water is not compressible and can be added without transporting material manually as it travel thru the hose!. We tried it and it work well! With the weight of water added you can even get the volume added at 1kg per L. Cheap inflatable PVC toys or mat for pool work great.
This is such a satisfying video. I have watched this truck being built from the beginning. And watching you run that thing full out was well worth the wait. Love your videos and that build is amazing. Great job from start to finish. Congrats.
Who cares about numbers I'm just absolutely blown away on the quality of your build and the attention to detail. I've always been a bass head since the mid 90s but your energy and compassion to bass is second to none. Hats off to your build. Absolutely amazing
Look into magnet door locks to hold door instead of bolting it shut. Banks use magnet door locks. ( it’s a plate on one side magnet on other side ) A few on each door around door will hold solid then you can easily unlock and let people in 👍🏻
i have waited years for this build. along the way after like 2 years i thought you arent gonna finish it.. and then this popped in my recommendation. you are very hardworking exo. tons of respect
That fact you have built a bunker around those subs and getting the full force of air movement makes this such an epic build. Those bass kicks must feel like a horse kicking you in the chest.
I remember in 93ish, I would go to the autorama car show in Cleveland. There was an s10 with 40, boss 10s in the bed under a cap. They claimed to be the world's loudest, and i think it was in the mid 140s if I remember correctly. They had a foot thick plexiglass wall between the cab and bed. They acted as though it was a safety feature like 140s were deadly. Then fast forward 30 some years, and people are having the time of their lives in the mid 160s in Exo's Nissan. Keep rocking!
I just want to say ignore the negative comments man, this shit is inspirational. I doubt anyone who leaves messages calling this type of bass 'weak' dont even have a sub themselves. You make me want to further upgrade my audio system, keep up the great content.
Heck yea exooo! Had a wedding today finishing it off with a basshead, hope everyone is doing good including the man behind the magic… Bruce your a legend in this game!
Brilliant build from start to finish ( almost) you’ve had fun and made lots of people very happy. Great van build, looking forward to the tweaks, from UK England
You definitely got me started on car audio a longggg time ago. You have always been one of my favorites and I always was rooting for you. I’m so glad to see what youve built and what your channel has turned into. Definitely Frankie x1000000 this is so sick I hope to see you one day and hear it myself. I can’t even imagine the pressures! Congrats EXO!
Loudest I heard in a car war 18,000 watts and it hit so hard it hit so good that when I walked away I felt absolute euphoria such a blissful experience every cell in your body vibrating to the same frequency produces such unique experience
Great installs takes time. Man!!! The smiles and joy of all the people that got demos fills me with heartfelt smiles and joy. Bass is life! Keep up the amazing work and we'll done on the numbers that you've reached thus far. Thank you for your great videos. With lots of respect and admiration from 🇿🇦
Dude.......it is absolutely awesome how humble and kind you are all the time. Super super cool that you give some random fella a demo and just make his day! The build is nothing short of amazing!!! Always love your channel and your work man, can't wait to see how high those numbers get when ya get her dialed in!!
GREAT NEWS! I mean i expected big loud coming from EXO with all the time and money but guad damn!! I did not expect those numbers! holy shit man congratulations!! So many people just dont understand the significance of this! insane! Once again bro hats off to you and congratulations on not burning it down! I have just recently finished my loudest system yet and connecting the batteries, running it for the first time is nerve racking....then running it at full tilt is just as nerve racking! Love it!
Dango EXO love to hear it in person hearing on UA-cam doesn't do it justice. I'm also a Bass Junkie. I'm located over in Southeastern KY. Hope you fared well through the storm that just came through. Nice to see ya got it up n running
massive congrats exo! been watching you for god knows how long! i found your acc when i first realised i was a bass head along with smd. must be nearly 10 years ago now.... i remember when you bought this truck and you knew exactly what you wanted to do and you done it !! much love and a massive well done !
Bruce...you the man. I was the one at Slam that waited for a demo, but the spider let loose, so MAYBE next year. HUGE fan. You're an inspiration to A LOT of us. As much as I love all of what you've done, shared, AND struggled with, I wonder what the human limitation is to SPL. When do things begin to liquify? I see you wincing in pain and I see others do the same. I've sat in RP's van when Norris had it at Rockford. Not full tilt, but it hurt...Whenever a new video drops, I'll be watching!
Man, I’ve enjoyed every second of this build! I’ve never done a demo, I’m going to try to come to a show you are at and at least hear it from a distance! I bet it’s awesome!
Bro i just wanna say i absolutely loved this build and this video. Your videos got me into car audio way back when and gave me the motivation and now ive got a whole setup bangin in the little hatch toyota. Isnt anything near like that but 3.5 k aint to bad. Just wanna say thanks for the content, Learned alot from your videos, Love from BC Canada
Reminds me of the IASCA competitions from the early 2000's with those vans built for one purpose. This thing you can actually drive and use! absolutely insane. I had 2 12W7's in high school and thought that was loud at 147. I can't imagine this.
not gonna lie been waiting so long i forgot this build. i do remember your lil blue though. what an achievement. been watching for many years keep up the good work
@@subdynomanno, you do It with one coil wired normally on amp 1 and inverted coil wired to amp2 , then 3 with 4, 4 with 5, etc etc , ive gained 0.4 dBs doing that
I saw myself in your video! Sundown was such a great show! 6 ft away was plenty for me. I sat in some other big systems, but nothing was on the scale of your build. Just incredible.
I've been watching for years and have been watching the whole process knowing from the day you announced the plans for this build and your ideas this was going to be one epic journey and I anticipated every new video update on the progress for this video.. and I'm so excited for the videos and demos to come Exo I love the excitement in your voice again brother ❤
MAN burps a 166db, and IMEADIATLY starts talking about how to get louder.....TRUE BASSHEAD! Love ya Brother!
Dude was that at 28 hrtz?? That's insane😃
"It's always a good day when EXO uploads" couldn't be more true.
You're not wrong at all.
So true brother greetings from the Caribbean #bequia
Exo birthed ma love for bass petty much just got 2, 8 inch subs and I can’t wait to get them hooked up and here the bass I’ve loved bass forever but watching Exo over the years has definitely made me save for a system lol
Word up big dog
Time to start GETTING LOUDER!!! 🔊
Thanks for joining the ride!!! 😀
Congrats! Those are elite numbers. Hard work and knowledge pays off.
Instead of fully taking the whole seat out, try taking the back of the seat off 1st and test it like that
See you soon… Knoxville competitor here
I'd love to see what a thermal camera would pick up when you point it at the bends in your wires, while thumping of course...bet it gets pretty hot/bright..maybe you don't wanna know..just another thing to worry about. But it would be knowledge for the rest of us! Thank you exo..this van build was a very very long labor of love 🤙 congrats brother and much respect!
Amazing ride it was and will continue to be Bruce. Let's go!
Who agrees this is by far one of the best builds ever!
I damn sure do!!! A lot of time, money, and hard work went into the Behemoth...
Easily in my opinion soo much thought and detail into it
I've been watching Exo for quite a while now, and for the record, I am just an armchair bass enthusiat, and it seems to me that he learned so many great applications, which materials are best, and all that good stuff by watching other peoples' builds all this time.
Behemoth is a patchwork of many different ideas and techniques that Exo has incorporated all those ideas into his own dream project, and here it is.
Well done, Exo!!
AND it’s drivable!!!!!
This man rebuilt speakers he too. Yea it’s the best to me too
Almost a 164,5 at 28 is crazy, congrats on ur first 165!
I've done a 150 at 20 hz. That took a lot. Doing a 165 at 28 is nuts!
love u leon
Stop spoiling😅
and the same at 48hz.. literally that covers the spectrum of nearly all heavy bass music - its all super loud.. so cool.
@@twentyonehertz thats a 6th order for ya
Harold is a bold man to climb in that mofo! haha love this series so much man
He bout loss his hearing for the rest of the day.
The excitement in my man's voice is making me smile ear to ear for 24 mins and 49 seconds...
Seriously, infectious excitement
If you have ever talked to him in person he has the same excitement in his voice.
casually hits a 165+ and says its not loud enough LOL. Love to see the progress Exo
It's been a pleasure to watch EXO's videos over the years. Starting from a kid who just likes bass and evolving to building his bass van. The most important quality that comes through in his videos is how encouraging he is to other bassheads. Whether you have an 8" bazooka bass tube and its your first system, or a fully custom setup that's pushing 100,000w rms, EXO is always supportive.
The other day i saw a post of a random oldschool dodge caravan and brought me back to your older videos. From the orion days to the first pair of XXXs you got. You have come a looong way. 😁👍
Only a matter of time before they delete a side window
Hell at this point you must be the loudest most badass setup in Maine
Man that was a couple years ago lol.
@@sideshow45 it sure feels like it 😅
You have worked your ass off for this exo,you deserve the fun your having and it sure does look like fun
Met Exo at Slamology. The patience he had while everyone there talked his ear off was amazing. Just wanted to say a thank you to you and your wife for being so nice, patient, and authentic.
This build is awesome!!
A 166db+ in the kick is beyond a good spl score. Bruce your amazing and that build you built is beyond amazing. I meter around a 151db at 41hz on glass so you almost metering a 165db on glass is also amazing. If anyone is into smaller no wall builds thats what I got ✔️IT OUT👍
Been here since you started collecting the 18s and I'm here for the list.
I just moved to Tennessee! I'm hitting the next tourney specifically so i can finally meet exo and hear those bandpassed 18s
That is the most beautiful complex system I have ever seen anywhere… 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯💯
Best build ever by farrr. Way to go man
wow i remember the early early days of exo.. you sir have come a long way. proud tonsay i watched this mans journey
Man this install looks like it was designed by an engineer!!!! Good job Exo👍🏾
I'm so proud to see you getting to finally enjoy your dream build. I've been watching you since this was just a thought. You did great brother. Much love.
I check you and Doug’s channel at least 3x a week to see if you’ve uploaded. I love your content brother, so much positivititty and passion for car audio.
My bass God !!! The years of work to get to were you are now … You did the best work you could possibly do !!
I have no idea how many years I've been watching your channel, and I am here to stay. there are very few channels that can succeed at working on one single project for years.
This build is incredible, and you're the most wholesome dude. This is one of the best channels on UA-cam. Can't wait to see this monster evolve!
Man love watching exos videos I never skip a single second! He deserves every bit of success I hope too hear this build one day!
That's sick bro! Glad everything is working out for ya. Watched this whole build, been waiting to see what it could do. Props!
EXO, thank you for sharing!!!!
Hope you the best! You lighten my day when you upload!!!

That's a awesome idea
It works until one of those bags blows and water goes all over the place
@@Jooseybitsmaybe bladders for Wake board boats? They're pretty tough material.
The journey to this point, you have to be proud. Thats a ton of work
This is such a satisfying video. I have watched this truck being built from the beginning. And watching you run that thing full out was well worth the wait. Love your videos and that build is amazing. Great job from start to finish. Congrats.
Nice! Hearing damage at the age of 25! Impressive!
Man I’ve been watching since way back when you did your dads truck man your stuff is always good to watch man two thumbs up 👍🏼 👍🏼
Who cares about numbers I'm just absolutely blown away on the quality of your build and the attention to detail. I've always been a bass head since the mid 90s but your energy and compassion to bass is second to none. Hats off to your build. Absolutely amazing

Well that would be interesting to see. 👍🤔
Hmm, electro magnetic doors. Just don't have your debit or credit cards too close it will zap them inopporterble.
Im so glad to have this guy in the basshead community.
i have waited years for this build. along the way after like 2 years i thought you arent gonna finish it.. and then this popped in my recommendation. you are very hardworking exo. tons of respect
I love the excitement he expresses when people acknowledge his set up,true passion for the love of bass
Bass on exo
this has to go down as one of the most impressive builds out there, the attention to detail is absolutely amazing- n that shit gets DOWN
That fact you have built a bunker around those subs and getting the full force of air movement makes this such an epic build. Those bass kicks must feel like a horse kicking you in the chest.
Who dont like to see exo back doing his thing he probably is the most down to earth people thats actually doing something
seeing exo still doing it and doing it better then ever makes me so happy lol
I remember in 93ish, I would go to the autorama car show in Cleveland. There was an s10 with 40, boss 10s in the bed under a cap. They claimed to be the world's loudest, and i think it was in the mid 140s if I remember correctly. They had a foot thick plexiglass wall between the cab and bed.

Man that joy is shining from you to the moon and back. After all the hard work you have made a masterBASSpiece 🤩🤩🤩
I just want to say ignore the negative comments man, this shit is inspirational. I doubt anyone who leaves messages calling this type of bass 'weak' dont even have a sub themselves. You make me want to further upgrade my audio system, keep up the great content.
Imagine a relaxing fishing trip, floating along the water. Then a random EXO appears, and makes the day even better.
This guy is genius! I’ve been following him and learning a lot from his work and I appreciate his insights and expertise.
My father would have done the same thing as Harold. He would have been 70 today. Pure curiosity from a machinist with ear for great sound or power
Come on guys this guy is a gem ! Least you guys could do is give a like to his video!! He takes his time to make us these works of art .
Dat pooh shiesty back in blood was hitting my boy good song of choice 🤣🔥🤝🏼
Heck yea exooo! Had a wedding today finishing it off with a basshead, hope everyone is doing good including the man behind the magic… Bruce your a legend in this game!
Exo is the fing goat also that box is crazy efficient to be doing a 160 and change from 28-48 that’s just wild
NOW I AM UPSET! i live in Granger county 1 mile from the lake! turn it up!!
You’ve put a lot of work and effort into this. And 166.4 dB SPL is insane! Wow!
holy molly, I've been watching this build for years, and it's definitely worth it in the end.
X out the seats eXOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! THEY ARE ABSORBING SOME OF THOSE MUCH NEEDED CABIN PRESSURE WAVES
Been waiting patiently for you to connect the LED lights above the subs.😊
Jeez., I was underprepared for the level of this build, wow!
Awesome!! I’m so happy for you and glad you’re having as much fun as you can!!
Brilliant build from start to finish ( almost) you’ve had fun and made lots of people very happy. Great van build, looking forward to the tweaks, from UK England
Man, I remember you doing your first 150db in a minivan many years ago. Awesome job on all the details and hard work!
Thanks to UA-cam I get to reminisce the 90’s into very early 2000’s of car audio.
This car audio scene has disappeared in Toronto, Canada
Congrats on your new personal best! Been a pleasure seeing this build. Hope one day to get blessed and catch a demo!! Respect homie!!!
Congratulations Exo ! Glad you are doing what YOU LOVE and sharing it with us on ytube . Keep on rocking how you want to!
Gonna need to sack the weather forecasters for missing this superstorm. Congrats on an amazing build!
You definitely got me started on car audio a longggg time ago. You have always been one of my favorites and I always was rooting for you. I’m so glad to see what youve built and what your channel has turned into. Definitely Frankie x1000000 this is so sick I hope to see you one day and hear it myself. I can’t even imagine the pressures! Congrats EXO!
He can rollover with this van, nothing gonna move xD so nice build !
Man the build came out great exo. Very clean and methodical. The spl score is just icing on the cake
Loudest I heard in a car war 18,000 watts and it hit so hard it hit so good that when I walked away I felt absolute euphoria such a blissful experience every cell in your body vibrating to the same frequency produces such unique experience
Great installs takes time.
Man!!! The smiles and joy of all the people that got demos fills me with heartfelt smiles and joy. Bass is life!
Keep up the amazing work and we'll done on the numbers that you've reached thus far.
Thank you for your great videos. With lots of respect and admiration from 🇿🇦

Always love your channel and your work man, can't wait to see how high those numbers get when ya get her dialed in!!
Bro is so excited and I am too brother I’ve been watching you since the beginning.
Imagine if your old self with the Orion triple subs in the van saw what you had now bro haha you'd be geeking out like everyone who got a demo haha
GREAT NEWS! I mean i expected big loud coming from EXO with all the time and money but guad damn!! I did not expect those numbers! holy shit man congratulations!! So many people just dont understand the significance of this! insane! Once again bro hats off to you and congratulations on not burning it down! I have just recently finished my loudest system yet and connecting the batteries, running it for the first time is nerve racking....then running it at full tilt is just as nerve racking! Love it!
I’ve been following you since the caravan back in the day…crazy how far you’ve come
I love it.I think you should take the first step by play Different subs.i love it man. Wow
Well done Bruce! A 167 out the gate is impressive, and she'll be be a 170 build in no time! Just gotta make those adjustments
So happy for you. This thing is Amazing. My favorite build on The Tube Of You. 🔥
Dango EXO love to hear it in person hearing on UA-cam doesn't do it justice. I'm also a Bass Junkie. I'm located over in Southeastern KY. Hope you fared well through the storm that just came through. Nice to see ya got it up n running

i remember when you bought this truck and you knew exactly what you wanted to do and you done it !! much love and a massive well done !
Bruce...you the man. I was the one at Slam that waited for a demo, but the spider let loose, so MAYBE next year. HUGE fan. You're an inspiration to A LOT of us. As much as I love all of what you've done, shared, AND struggled with, I wonder what the human limitation is to SPL. When do things begin to liquify? I see you wincing in pain and I see others do the same. I've sat in RP's van when Norris had it at Rockford. Not full tilt, but it hurt...Whenever a new video drops, I'll be watching!
Man, I’ve enjoyed every second of this build! I’ve never done a demo, I’m going to try to come to a show you are at and at least hear it from a distance! I bet it’s awesome!
Bro i just wanna say i absolutely loved this build and this video. Your videos got me into car audio way back when and gave me the motivation and now ive got a whole setup bangin in the little hatch toyota. Isnt anything near like that but 3.5 k aint to bad. Just wanna say thanks for the content, Learned alot from your videos, Love from BC Canada
Reminds me of the IASCA competitions from the early 2000's with those vans built for one purpose. This thing you can actually drive and use! absolutely insane. I had 2 12W7's in high school and thought that was loud at 147. I can't imagine this.
EXO is in fact a true bass head, and I'm here for it.
not gonna lie been waiting so long i forgot this build. i do remember your lil blue though. what an achievement. been watching for many years keep up the good work
Congratulations dude!! Ive been watching u build that beast for a long time!! I would be a very proud dude if i was u
Congratulations bro I’ve been watching you put this together since day 1… 👏
This is a classic video. It is amazing what people do with their time.
phase aligning those amps is going to have AMAZING results, IMO.
I was wondering about that, so you'd calculate the sub distance to the point? Dang that's awesome 👌
@@subdynomanno, you do It with one coil wired normally on amp 1 and inverted coil wired to amp2 , then 3 with 4, 4 with 5, etc etc , ive gained 0.4 dBs doing that
Exo's pure enjoyment when the bass hit is why I watch this channel!!! Luv you Exo, listening all the time from Texas. Keep bassing brother!!!?
Man what a build, had been a blast following your progress and dedication! 😊
Congrats EXO!! It turned out perfect! Hope to see it up close soon 👍
That's so freaking awesome brotha. Phenomenal job. Only gains from here.
This guy always put a smile on my face, love you EXO
I saw myself in your video! Sundown was such a great show! 6 ft away was plenty for me. I sat in some other big systems, but nothing was on the scale of your build. Just incredible.
Been with you for years, not stopping now. Love this journey
