You guys should make 2 hour episodes twice a week! LOL, that still wouldn't make them happy. I think the quickie episodes are good. I prefer the 10-12 minute ones, but these 2 times a week work out to be about the same anyway. Doug you need to put together a feature film about car audio...you have the skillz friend
Missed glassing the inside... Cannot expect that chicken wire an a single layer of fleece with bondo to stand up to bass... You need at least two layers inside
Spoon is eating cereal, John is in the bathroom, Johnny is typing "all work and no play make Jack a dull boy" and Allyn is chillin' over at Sonic doing front flips acquiring coins. Those who get the last two are certified old school...
I was a professional installer for 12 years I bet I didn't break 20 door panel clips..... You ain't got the right tools dog!!! Special tools and knowledge of how each door comes apart is important. Also spend a couple hundred bucks and stock most cars the clips for those times you need them, we did fixed a lot of clips for customers that tried installing lol
Just Me A lot of new cars come with so called "quick release" clips on the door panels. They are supposed to unlock when you pull on the door panel but most of the time they either snap or stay in the door and snap the locating notch on the panel, another example of design that favours ease of assembly over ease of maintainance/ repair.
hello mate, Thanks for the video.. I really need a expert's true advise please.. I want to install competition level system with two batteries Rochford Fosgate t.2500 bdcp and Orion Hcca 15 in a Hybrid SUV Lexus RX 400h 2006... is it safe and ok to do that? mind the hybrid vehicles dont use alternators. .. the battery gets charged through the big hybrid battery packs at 13.3 volts while engine is switched on. I want to know that is it ok to install secondary battery where stock battery only getting 13.3 volts while car is running? will secondary battery and competition level system affect and damage the electric and mechanical systems of a hybrid 4x4? have you ever build in hybrid 4x4? Thanks
In this video you can clearly see that Rafas mom isn't doing to well by how skinny and malnourished he is. Years later and several thousand cheeseburgers later, Rafa and his mom are doing much better. You can tell by the size of Rafas gut and his mom
the real question for me isn't how to install it, its more of how not to mess with the other system. or even if it will mess with the other systems. I've been told that the newer ones like 2013 RX350 and up have systems like SRS ABS Vehicle stability control the could be effected the moment you put a subwoofer in the creates low frequency. I want to put 1000watt subs in and want to know before it. just don't want a air bag going off when I'm bumping some tunes with the boys. any info on this would be super helpful thanks :)
Ohhhhh somebody didn't watch Marks How-To on board kerfing.... Haha, hey did they use any fiberglass mat then on that box or just resin? I feel like just resin and the wire mesh would be really strong.
i feel like the part after 1:50 would have been a lot easier to use kerfing instead of cutting multiple pieces. instead of having to align a bunch of blocks and glue them, he could have had just one single piece to make a smooth curve with.
Doug hi, I've been watching ur videos for about 4 to five yrs now I like, its knowledgeable & funny also l'm the youngest son of a master carpenter so I knw a little but as far as design I do not, I have a 2003 chevy suburban in witch I want what u did on ur cusin jeep cherokee wit stealthbox something like tat for my svv can u do something like tst on a suburban or video on one
Couldn't all of that had been avoided by using just a base, a speaker ring and fiberglass everything else? I mean, I've seen it done. They pulled out chicken wire and all of this other unnecessary stuff; Just a waste of time
I just love rafa! or should i say Jerry.... :D Clearly these guys didnt watch Mark on CarAudioFabrication! He has an episode about kerfing! I think its his first one...
is it just me or did Rafa look like a hipster cowboy at the end ? like all he needed was the hat and the boots and it would've looked like he just hopped the fence.. @ 5:53
The title for this video says how to build a fiberglass box, but the actual video is of somebody building a wooden box with a small fiberglass insert on the top...
GOD, I'm so tired of the endless repetition of rap. Two years of disco was "too much" but for some reason 36 years of the same sound is STILL NOT QUITE ENOUGH. UGH. I'll go elsewhere.
I was starting to watch until the punk in the beginning put on his thug routine. I stopped watching right then. And then reading other comments, I see this is a shop you should never go to.
Thank you for the video but the installer is a cocky loser, I wouldn't let him touch my cars. BTW fiberglass would have been a stronger material for that box.
cfoote2667 I agree, that guy was working for my business i wouldn't deal with that shit attitude to other business Owners or employees it would make me look like a moron for hiring a loser like that.

Damn big D 10 years ago showing love
Missed glassing the inside... Cannot expect that chicken wire an a single layer of fleece with bondo to stand up to bass... You need at least two layers inside
with the right tools and the right amount of motivation. Anyone can build a subwoofer box. I think Imma quit my job to start a sound system business.
Spoon is eating cereal, John is in the bathroom, Johnny is typing "all work and no play make Jack a dull boy" and Allyn is chillin' over at Sonic doing front flips acquiring coins. Those who get the last two are certified old school...
Thanks for showing me which shop to not go to.
Damn this is when i used to watch this all the time, boy how time flies. also thats not a fiberglass box
man you guys should start making the 20 to 30 minute episodes again
All those fancy tools, and he didn't kerf it.
MDF doesnt kerf very well. Its more likely to split and pop when you start to bend it. You being God Id assume you'd know that ...
+God That was my first thought. What a waste of time.
Funny, I live in a world that has never seen any other type of kerfing but that of MDF. How odd...
RhettROPlays that's why you cut little slits through it to get it to kerf lol
Rafa you still got it brother ..both your master skill and cracking me up Amego
that's so cool. I'm so glad people still say the word "dawg". I was afraid it would die in the 90s.
Want longer videos of Rafa please.

We want more RAFA !!!!!!!!!
This was a really good episode. Good car audio content without a bunch of filler (DOUG SAYING THINGS IN FUNNY VOICES)
Rafa bringing the dopeness

So, where's the fiberglass subwoofer box?
pbkayakyer
How to make a bondo subwoofer box XD
He probably had his fiber in a glass, then he built the box.
Watching Amplified in my new SoundmanCarAudio Tee shirt!!
How do you work out what subwoofer you need for a custom box like this one?
I cracked up at "his plethora of techniquery..."
If you'd look into Rafa's ear, you'd see Adam & Jordan, 'cause they obviously are living in his head... YOW~DOG
About how much would a custom box like this cost. I want to do this exact same thing for my car.
Thanks for following me sound man!
Question, what would be the measurements for a 8 inch subwoofer?
dam this definatly takes a lot of skill to do this shit. Dudes definatly know what they doin
why not make the whole back of the box from fibreglass shaped to the plastic trim? instead of the shaped mdf and wire mesh?
Damn Eric got some skills! The isn't the same without Rafa!!!
what would be a good price to pay for a custom box like that ?
Most annoying music ever. The sound of the grinder was a relief.
Nice work you brown guys do.
the real question for me isn't how to install it, its more of how not to mess with the other system. or even if it will mess with the other systems. I've been told that the newer ones like 2013 RX350 and up have systems like SRS ABS Vehicle stability control the could be effected the moment you put a subwoofer in the creates low frequency.

Man rafa kills it!!
The year is on the door jamb rafa
Damn, Rafa looks like a Palmdale Tweeker back then compared to how he looks now lol
U guys make learning fun & interesting
Doug, you should set up a live video feed in the shop on Vaughn Live. I'd watch the shit out of that haha.
I am caught up with all the builds but I like to check to be safe.
Is there any diffrence between wood and fiberglass boxes in sound quality?
Do you have video's or ideas
For a1988 bronco 2 ?
+Ronn Harris I have an idea. Crush it.
can I purchase one of these
Ohhhhh somebody didn't watch Marks How-To on board kerfing.... Haha, hey did they use any fiberglass mat then on that box or just resin? I feel like just resin and the wire mesh would be really strong.
I guess you guys didnt bother with air space specs?
0:18 240sx with silvia front... I just liked this show even more
Longer videos!!! Please!!!
Cool lesson, great instructions.
nice box indeed
FREAKING AWESOME EPISODE!
i feel like the part after 1:50 would have been a lot easier to use kerfing instead of cutting multiple pieces. instead of having to align a bunch of blocks and glue them, he could have had just one single piece to make a smooth curve with.
Doug hi, I've been watching ur videos for about 4 to five yrs now I like, its knowledgeable & funny also l'm the youngest son of a master carpenter so I knw a little but as far as design I do not, I have a 2003 chevy suburban in witch I want what u did on ur cusin jeep cherokee wit stealthbox something like tat for my svv can u do something like tst on a suburban or video on one
very cool work
How do I order 1
Couldn't all of that had been avoided by using just a base, a speaker ring and fiberglass everything else? I mean, I've seen it done. They pulled out chicken wire and all of this other unnecessary stuff; Just a waste of time
That's called a milk shake right,when you mix filler and resin together.
NO Credits! What was the song name?
Skinny Rafa 😭😂😂
Yoooo pretty boy skinny Rafa!
I just love rafa! or should i say Jerry.... :D
Clearly these guys didnt watch Mark on CarAudioFabrication!
He has an episode about kerfing! I think its his first one...
God damn Rafa has a huge dome!!!
when rafa was skinny! xD
was thinking the same ;)
His mom must have been fine as fuck back then.......
is it just me or did Rafa look like a hipster cowboy at the end ? like all he needed was the hat and the boots and it would've looked like he just hopped the fence.. @ 5:53
Update us on spoon, john, johnny, and allyn!!!
Yeah, but does he have a Soundman installed iPad Mini in his dash?!?! No! Hahaha.
Where’s the end?
The title for this video says how to build a fiberglass box, but the actual video is of somebody building a wooden box with a small fiberglass insert on the top...
I guess I can wait until Friday's to watch the full 10 minutes of actual footage instead of 2 minute intro's and 4 minute Raffary.
why not kerf that bend?
Ok 1:20 - 2:55 what's that second track please? since doug no longer lists 'em. Lazy ass.
guess thats one way of glassing
Damn Rafa was so thin! Lol
Eric needs to learn kerfing :)
GOD, I'm so tired of the endless repetition of rap. Two years of disco was "too much" but for some reason 36 years of the same sound is STILL NOT QUITE ENOUGH.
UGH. I'll go elsewhere.
Why don't you try listening to lyrics? They arent all the same. I'm sorry that you're close minded and want to generalize all of rap as the same.
good job!!!!!!!
as a material called blue?
Great workmanship, too bad it looks booty. The shape is terrible. Looks like it belongs on the back like a continental kit.
Rafa was skinny?
song names?
Look Nice Good Stuff
Song at 4:15?
i bet it fuckin sucks breaking clips. Especially if you gotta order them and the customer has to wait even longer because you fucked up.
I was starting to watch until the punk in the beginning put on his thug routine. I stopped watching right then. And then reading other comments, I see this is a shop you should never go to.
Fucking amazing techniqu-ery!
and john... with his m3 engine ROFL!
For the Lexus fans, check out Soundman's install on my RX330 here: /watch?v=lgYhhy1jdvQ
I don't even.. Bondo body with stucco mesh? Eh...
papi likes=)
Your videos are informative........please leave the clown out. He was annoying.
Haha!! Dope stuff! Yee!
Thank you for the video but the installer is a cocky loser, I wouldn't let him touch my cars. BTW fiberglass would have been a stronger material for that box.

You really think Rafa was being serious... You must be new around here.
Chicken bass coop
I'm suing that car audio shop for oppressing rafa and his name.
😯
