I was ready for 10 more years of the bass Van Doug. We ready..

[@FUCKDSS]

10 more years bondo bondo bondo bondo

[@loudelvis610]

Lol and Doug is still a relatively young dude...a decade of worthless content lost ..lol

[@arturozarate1752]

After all the shit you talked😂😂😂😂.....Doug, you'll wake up one day realizing that this was your chance. This was your Jon Price. This was your Steve Meade. This was your one way to ensure that people would remember your name. Integrity.....smh

[@arturozarate1752]

Don't worry! You'll get at least 5 years of sub cabinet build for the Mule, and another 5 for the DSP mounting location and bracket.

“He who try’s to polish a turd will end up with shit on his hands”- Doug Wise words 🤯

Special Doug sale ! Free Astro Van with the purchase of NVX speakers ,Jy power lithium batteries 😅

[@justingray9836]

How about his inverse for gobb?

[@matthewjoiner2852]

You should of put the bass van up for sale ages ago. You have done more work on it in this video than you have in the last year😂

[@whyteb0y]

Pretty sure EXO is the only one taking this serious. I haven't seen Mark from CAF ever mention a bass build for this.

[@lilshawn2]

This is the most amount of work in one episode I've ever seen you do to the bass van... And it was just so you could GET RID OF IT

[@scamchan]

Wow Doug got more done in this video than he has in the last 5 years I am impressed!! Thanks!!

[@NightshiftCustom]

never seen him get so much done

[@wayneeads6830]

Drilling a hole into carpet tip: use your soldering iron with an old tip to melt a divot in the screw location. Follow up by shaping the hot mess with a flattening tool or whatever form you’re after.

[@Cawpbell215]

excited to see the new box being built over the next 4 months.

[@anicetomaldonado]

4 months? You must be new here. This box will take a year and 72 build videos. Greatness cannot be rushed, neither can Doug. 😅

[@wadebuck69]

Looks like EXO wins by default because I have no doubt that he will finish his project.

[@justingray9836]

EXO won't show you stuff he doesn't think will end up turning out..

[@sterling-Dubois]

EXO is killing it. I’ve been watching him for years and the boys just doing a solid build after killing Frankenstein lol been watching him for years.😊

[@single_cam9199]

Exo

[@HumanGorillaHormone]

Realistically Doug doesn't have the experience building loud setups anyway.

[@UPLAND18]

FYI EXO finished it lol.

[@psementalist]

This is a nice treat to watch on the 4th of July. The Mule is what made me become such a big fan of SoundMan

[@tyronedixon7404]

You’ve got a lot done on everything you touch. I really have faith that you can finish the van. But if you’re serious about letting it go then I understand. I’ve been watching your videos since 2013 and you always make me laugh. Hope you reconsider the van. Have a great 4th of July.

[@Jkhagg25]

Since 2013 eh? I think that’s around the same time he started the bass van build.

[@tyronedixon7404]

@@Jkhagg25 he started the van build in 2020. My reply was for Doug directly.

One more carpeting tip: tame the wild fibres with a heat gun. Quickly wave the heat over the carpet to smooth out the fibres to a uniform flattened appearance. Not too long in one area as you can most likely guess what can happen.

[@thedraftdoctor1]

NVX knew the bass van was going to blow and pulled their sponsorship

[@schtekar]

Onwards and upwards, Doug! I'll be here watching, laughing my ass off while also learning stuff whether you complete your project cars or not 🤝 You're a true inspiration!

[@Vegas_Baba808]

That's too bad. While we know all the smack talking was for comedic purposes, it would of been awesome to see the finished product. We look forward to your next project, Doug. 🤜🏽

[@golfmk216D]

absolutely love when you working on mule!

[@AwesomeBuford]

Glad to see you doing a stereo build... finally. Oh... wait, never mind.

[@bob808]

Sad to see her go, but interested to see the new project!

[@DeBassHead]

wait what happened to the JL system the mule had

[@PHUSII]

The amount of work you have done to the van is mind blowing! Engine repairs, alarm, removing door handles, repairing hole in the roof, making the cage for bass, door panels, ipad dash kit, etc etc etc! Someone will get a 75% done bass van with your signature on it! Kinda sad to see it go, it would have been one for the history books on the cars you have fondled over the years! That said, can't wait for the next shit box you will turn in to a golden goose! Keep the episodes coming!

[@firstnamelastnameisallowed7943]

I've been a subscriber of the ol soundman since Amplified was in the old shop and you guys were doing installs on peoples cars. It was right when you went from the original shop then moved to the last shop your dad's company was in. Just like back then I subscribed because you and your guys were funny as hell and had a great working relationship that showed on camera. Things have changed for sure, but I still watch because your humor is refreshing and your "advice" is solid. Unlike your prior business plan, that shit was liquid. Not solid at all... Anyway! Doesn't matter what cars or projects you have I watch because of you Doug and I'd say most of us do the same so do what you gotta do and I know Ill still be a loyal soundman fan!!!

[@theresalong6573]

the work on van was incredible, will sell quick hope some 1 finishes it

[@christopheranderson9240]

I cant wait to know the new build!!!!!!! Awesome show! Been watching since the start!

[@mkm83672]

Please welcome, shipping is also ok.

[@91forever]

Was waiting for the mule to be fixed. Yes😊

[@harkbelial]

Goodbye to the van, we knew that it will never be finished but we hoped anyway.

[@ChickenJoe24]

When i go to sell my car i need to hire yu for the pictures! What a great outro. Whatever yu do Doug we support you

[@ZelosZelo]

where is the van now? how/where do we follow how it turns out?

Happy 4th! Great video

Astro la vista bass van baby!!! Looking forward to seeing what you start next 😉👍

[@CarAudioEnthusiasts]

happy 4th man!

[@fraliexb]

5:48 Doug giving advice, "don't buy a taken apart turd, because you'll have to pack it back together before you polish it." Wait, isn't the BASS VAN also a taken apart turd?

[@joevanbeneden]

Hey Doug, you should build a box for the sub that takes you 5 hours to unbolt to change it. Never seen anyone do something like that before!

[@freddiemoralez1536]

🎉🎉FUNNY CONTENT 🎉🎉 THANKS. THUMBS UP AND GOD BLESS ALL 😊

[@seanrigmaiden3887]

I was thinking about you this afternoon as I was driving from San Diego to Monterey and passing by the Santa Clarita highway 5 exit. I for one am glad you got rid of this project. You never seemed "into it" like your others. Almost forced. I'm looking forward to a new intro to your vids without the van dash joke. I've watched ALL your vids. The vids from your dad's shop are epic. A great way to document your life journey. Keep it up!

[@monkeyjustice]

Pretty excited for a new project, that means we get a new series and more videos!

[@waynelyons3474]

Can’t wait to see your next build Doug. I enjoy watching you work on all your projects. You do great work.

[@jamesmarze9850]

I always look forward to watching your videos because I know I'll get a good laugh and learn something. Keep up the good work ;)

[@James-of-all]

Dude! When u snapped the head of the bolt putting in the iPad dash mod in and the following 30 seconds of video....I felt that...I did that same shit last week installing some other dumb shit, even said the same thing verbatim!

[@85ZERO17]

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MAC AMPS AND W7

[@edzackery1305]

He’s planning on selling the mule too so high end stuff will get pulled out

[@sloth1992]

We all need a compilation of advice by Doug!!! I wish I had this advice 8 cars ago!!! He’s right, you get 10 cars it’s just too much turd polishing, had to get a new daily driver just to have something not to work on lol. 2 turds is all you need!

[@watchingitallhere]

I wanna see Mark at CAF finish the van. 😆

[@lanesteele240]

It would be pretty

[@anicetomaldonado]

Shut your mouth! Doug will set the van on fire before selling to Mark. I think. 😂

[@sneakersnsupercars]

Mark Zuckerberg the car audio nerd couldn’t finish off his boyfriend let alone Doug’s bass van

[@TH-en9fl]

Lol Mark would have to gut the would thing and start over from scratch. But that would be funny

[@watchingitallhere]

The amount of wood work, sound deadening and caulk in this van is mind boggling... I think the bones are there for a really impressive system. Godspeed to anybody that can finish the vision. 🏁🔉🔉🔉

[@SuperMetalLicious]

Hands down best youtube show!!! Not sure if you can tell but I am wearing a Amplified t shirt in my youtube profile picture.

[@shadowz9260]

I’ve got that nvx 5 channel in my car. Super stoked with it the thing shreds 🤙

[@namyarb]

I had it installed for about six months, and you're right, it made a shit-ton of power! It wasn't the cleanest, but far from bad. Unfortunately the sub channel stopped working on mine so I had to RMA the thing. NVX took care of me, and sent me a new (not refurbished) amp. I didn't want to wait and couldn't go without music for that long so I bought a Kenwood XR901-5. Fits under my seat better, cleaner power, and still slams. With all that said, I would not hesitate to order any NVX product in the future. Cheers

[@hansschroedenbach]

I totally understand dude, you have to feed your family and spend your time on the biggest money maker which is probably the iPad dash kits and dash mods. Hard to find time so the bass van and longer KZbin vids have to take a back seat. Sad because I love your videos for the humor and high skill level. Best of luck and I always look forward to any new videos you post.
