  • Let's get busy wiring up the sub box for 12 18's! Went a slightly different route by hiding all the wires inside the framework for the subwoofer baffle! Now each wire is hidden and super clean looking. Even managed to fit some nifty voice coil temperature Sensors in there! Come join the install, and thanks for watching!!!

      When do we get EXO in 4k? Great work by the way! I been following you from the very beginning and Im about same age as you aswell. I started my bass head journey knowing next to nothing just like you and today Im designing PA systems as a hobby. It has been fun to see you grow, get your own place, partner and more, basically going through the same life stages like myself. keep up the good work man! regards from a great fan!

    Being the old dude in the room, I came from the heyday of the mid 90's Iasca sound Q cars. Attention to detail and craftsmanship was of paramount importance. It has been a pleasure watching your skill set improve with time. I am glad you are committed to not building yet another raggedy looking SPL/demo king system. We worked hard to hide wiring away neatly and build with great fit and finish, especially around the amp racks. I hope you keep it tight and right in that deparment too! Respect from KC!

    You turned me onto the hydraulic crimper. It's inexpensive enough that there's honestly no reason not to own one. Depending on the model, you can crimp anything from 4/0 (bigger with some) all the way down to about 10g. Super solid connection with minimal effort. You the man EXO!

    That wiring is looking great! I love how the isolation blocks are right even with the hole penetration. Using the frame as a wire trough. Just perfect! The whole time Exo was teasing that there was a wire issue, I thought it would be my old nemesis. When you drill through a piece of wood and get a screw! I forgot all about the tabs. D'oh! But it still worked out and the build is looking stunning!

    Dang bud, as someone who used to design roof trusses for a living, seeing your joists 6" OC is pretty nuts. You could practically park that Nissan up there with how much weight that will hold (sarcasm, but it will hold a LOT of weight). You could have gone 12" OC and been perfectly fine for the most part. Of course, Im not one to talk since I built my work bench to clear span 8 feet and still hold over 500 pounds dead center. As I once heard, if it's worth doing, it's worth over doing. Great job on the both builds so far (workshop and van).
