i'm french speaking and your speech is realy clear for me perhaps a little speedy but quiet well so i learn a lot of things with you ! thank very much!
I try to keep the information packed in because I know a lot of guys have limited time to catch up on the videos so I keep them as packed with info as possible. Glad you can understand well though! Merci beaucoup
You always have the most informative car audio videos! Anytime I’m unsure of what I’m doing I always check and see if you’ve done a video on it. Thanks for the excellent content.
Got to play with the smart ruler at the most recent master training course at Mobile Solutions. It’s a great tool to add to anyone’s template set. Ps I got to make that maroon door panel. Thx for sticking it in there bud
I love it that you still use the dinner table for your work that exactly what I do I found a waist high long dinner table it's the best for building sub boxes on😎
Templates are the keys to semetry in custom fabrication. Mix that with abs plastic abs you can make anything. Especially if that plastic comes out of a 3D printer
The wire trick is good idea!! Like piping you would normally have to sew into place. You could get that wire that lights up and border it with like purple or blue or even just bright white would give it that lit yet classy look! Mobile solutions come up with some cool stuff. It's extremely simple and at the same time it's a tool that is far beyond what meets the eye if that makes any sense. Hard to translate what is going on in my dome piece sometimes lol
Those Mobile Solutions templates could be used to easily make some cool furniture too. You have the upholstery down to a science! I like the genius wire trick too. I'd like to see you do that again with fiber optic line, monofilament, or something clear you can then light up!
Hey great fabrication video there Mark... Been watching your videos for a while now and love how you work, and the information that you share with all! I'm not really into fully customizing my car audio so much, just as long as I have a good sound that I'm happy with, but what you custom guys do is amazing and you have my full respect!... And who knows, one day lol... Great videos, thanks for sharing.
Hello, custom world! I'm quite new to this custom fab work and i'm trying to do a custom fiberglass build to my 2011 maxima. Please help with any input on designs and material. CAF, thanks for the videos, ive learned a lot in a week.
Would love to get ahold of this template and other MS tools. But unfortunately I live in Australia and find it nearly impossible to get. Love your work nice tutorial thanks mate
Hi Mark, thanks for the informative videos. My question is where can I purchase the acrylic roller you use to press the material into the grooves? Thanks again, Mark.
Okay I have 2 12s that are dual voice coil 2 ohm that have a rms of 600 with a max of 1200. My amp is a 2000 watt at 1ohm and a 1400 watt at 2ohm. I’m trying to figure out how to wire them for a 2ohm load. I have a sealed box , so could The run 2 positives and 2 negatives from a sub into the one connection port on each side or would that not work. If u have any other suggestions let me know
Hi Mark, have just installed some Rockford speakers, Rockford p300 12 audio control lc 7 and Clarion eqs 746 however I am getting some noise from the tweeter even when muted. I just picked up the car and while driving back I felt no much effect from the Rockford components door speakers as well. Any suggestions for this please?
Hello Mark, do you do outside work? I have a challenging install to do on my Skoolie and could use your help. I am traveling in the NW area and can bring it to you.
Good morning and happy holidays! I need help . I wanna use my factory head unit, but I don't want to take my dash apart just to connect the remote wire for my amplifier upgrade. Do you know of any other way I can wire the remote another way?
Hey man- still love your vids! I know a lot of pros watch your vids but I bet there’s even more of us average “Joe’s”. We’d like to see you switch up your lessons some and show how people used to build these things using poor man’s tools. Mobile Solutions makes some great tools but a little pricey for us to follow along.
Ive made several videos using basic tools, no one watches them. I prefer to focus on mastering car audio and doing things right... And that takes an investment in tools.
I just bought some subs and would really appreciate some help with what amp to get. The subs are two 12” 4ohm 300rms and 1000w max. What size amp would I need, as in watts and rms? Thanks in advance!
Love your work , designs and videos and dont get me wrong , i am definitely jealous on how many tools and templates u have and thats just to name a few , but i know u wouldnt ever need to ,but could u make a video that goes back old school like do a build but only use the basic tools that we wouldve had back in the day , and the reason why i ask , even though ur designs and work is unbelievable and very educational , just saying could u come down , to well honestly my abilities a person that have basics hand tools and a cheap jig saw actually scratch that , that was stolen bc son though it was for cutting down tree limbs with lol cant ever win or get ahead 😂 but with a really cheap skill saw yes it has a blade but u might as well use a blow torch because that blade is so dull it doesnt cut just ssmokes lol 😂 but i do have four drills well there again only two really work a 12v and 16v but trying to help someone out in a big problem need some money for groceries and to keep there utilities on lead me to getting drills with no chargers to charge the batteries , two sanders but they are broke and then a buffer that i honestly believe could've or should've come from a ancient tool museum and if u guessed yes it doesnt work either but thank god for what i do have , its all i got and I'll keep doing what i love to do the most always have and always will , i really wanna go to a db drag or a bass competition where im at they dont have nothing like that Knoxville TN ALSO !!!!

Check out my Jeep build playlist, the build process is basically the same, except instead of going from the side of the vehicle in, you are going from the floor of the vehicle up. ua-cam.com/video/Ol-H0EBEO5c/v-deo.html

yeah time is limited, I watch at 2x speed, still ok. cheers from czech republic :]
These tools and templates are like the VST of cosmetic fabrication :)
You should do a video on custom door panels and installing them. Great work, Mark! 👍
Daniel Warren Yes for sure! I'm wanting to do some soon but it's very daunting
The wire trick is genius
You always have the most informative car audio videos! Anytime I’m unsure of what I’m doing I always check and see if you’ve done a video on it. Thanks for the excellent content.

Hi Mark I think Ill try something like this , but instead of wire I'm going to use EL wire in the grooves. Thanks great video

CAF Edition for the extra DB's!
Time to make some truck fab vids tips and trick..
God dam you made that shit easy. Good shit love the video

So can you show us what can be done with just a trim router? & if i were to buy a router= router table or just plung router?
Mark can you do a video on custom rear deck. That's one area of a vehicle i never saw you cover
Hello Mark, do you do outside work? I have a challenging install to do on my Skoolie and could use your help. I am traveling in the NW area and can bring it to you.
You could use magnets to attach the beauty panel.

You had to say pizza... now i'm hungry. Love your videos!
@ :25 he's holding that panel like a boombox
You should check my Instagram story. I have it as a necklace... Lol
Video idea: a video about capacitors (what they do, which to get, what to look for when buying one, how to install)
Simple. Don't get one. Not worth it, better ways to improve electrical, I made a video about that. :)
Very very good, sensational
Thanks!

Cool video but you need 4x6 cnc your design would endless and you can easy mirror them for door panels. It would be game changer...for your business.
Remember: it’s really important to stick out your tongue when cutting with a router 😜
You MUST have the right technique... 😎
Yep
It all starts from Crayola Crayons to help stay in the lines for coloring books. It paid off.
Wow.
Mark ... how about cnc .... it will save a lot of your time

Roughly $3989.00 dollars. Need some? Not including tax and shipping.
