EXOcontralto I caught that lol

[@troll3r4lif38]

Same

[@ROTTBOXX]

I wondered

[@danielwoodland9576]

EXOcontralto lol I saw it as passed that it was dead lol.

[@ohiohouston3560]

I thought it was a joke

[@MaximumKarma]

I'll give you 100$. What a goddamn good guy, people like exo are a rare breed these days. I wish he was my best friend. Seems so fun to be around. Love you exo maybe we can meet someday

[@sao_fishstick707]

Exo....can I have $100

[@EXOcontralto]

Made me smile ear to ear, Tonk :D Thanks for the kind words and taking the time to enjoy the whole video :D

I love that you help other bassheads

You know it, man! That's what it's all about 🔊

[@SPLaholic]

Could have clocked the alternator to properly fit, instead of cutting the brackets. But, I will give you guys a passing grade of A+ for actually thinking outside the box. lol. Good job.

[@danb5279]

YES Could have clocked the alternator

[@EXOcontralto]

Sucks that "a direct replacement" would need such a tweak :p

[@krugtech]

its just a simple adjustment

[@csorrows]

@@EXOcontralto It's a simple tweak tho. A few minutes and done.

[@jimmyhayes6756]

Some starters need to be clocked. It’s fairly common.

That dude might need to make a KZbin channel also lmao he crazy

[@PH-x]

This takes me back to all the videos i watched on my old account man glad you kept these ones upbepic vibes in these episodes 💯❤️‍🔥 gonna catch up on your latest videos ive missed again soon 🙏🙌👊❤️‍🔥

[@sinisterfox2330]

I have also been inspired to do car audio thanks to EXOcontralto it's been a long time since I've had some good beat.thanks to guys like you I've learned more then I thought I could,you make it all really easy to understand . I only have the basics ATM but with time I'll get there 😎

[@PurpleDragonGuy1]

You could have also reclocked the alternator instead of taking out the bracket and everything but whatever it takes it takes! Keep up the good work brother!

[@pgmurray76]

James Scott Crawford I am curious Mr. Crawford, are you saying that the alternator case bolts could have been removed and the back casing cover with the regulator, post, and connector rotated clockwise? Thanks!

[@mrmeiii]

Paul M that is correct

[@pgmurray76]

mrmeiii Thank you! I saw the other replies saying the same below. Although the terminal was a little rough, they could have drilled it out instead of replacing it - in a pinch. We drill terminals (not by a lot, and not often) on the railroad when the wrong size was ordered or if we run out of one with larger diameter bolt holes. And this is for 750VDC switch heater circuits with 100Amp 1.2 inch by 3 inch round fuses. Making sure all is clean and tight with weather protection is number one. This assumes the terminal has a wide enough overall diameter.

[@EXOcontralto]

Thanks for the insights, James! Sucks it needed customization right out the gate.

[@12Messenger]

The bass doctor. If you've rode down the street without bass in your trunk and you've been feeling sad lately by not having bass call 1800-EXO right now call 1800-EXO absolutely toll free today and get your car back on the road so you can cause havoc in traffic

[@wahzureone]

Awesome video guys Great production lighting segway editing Keep it up

[@EXOcontralto]

Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!!!!

[@jondoe6618]

Quick tip for swapping alts. There are bushings that slide in the brackets where the bolts go in. Just tap them out a little to make room for the new alt.Then tightening the bolts tightens the bushings back up as well.

[@EXOcontralto]

Thanks for the suggestion, Jon!

[@rogeriorodriguez1212]

Thank you is EXO come when your video was detailed enough for me to attempt to gather the proper materials and complete my own build. Thank you for sharing the knowledge

[@EXOcontralto]

Happy you ended up finding something to help!

good shit EXO... Mike is cool as hell

[@EXOcontralto]

For sure, super glad we ended up meeting and becoming friends :D

[@crazylarryjr]

@EXOcontralto, It's possible to clock some alternators, basically remove the back plate, not the plastic one, and move the rear to allow the plug to sit correctly. then reassemble and install

[@EXOcontralto]

Thanks for the suggestion man!

[@raymancouldbe]

I definitely learned a lot from this video. Great edit!

[@EXOcontralto]

Great to hear! What was the best thing you picked up along the way while watching?

[@davidjames4887]

Exo going back to his roots so pleasing to watch

[@EXOcontralto]

Smiling from your comment! Thanks, Dan :D

[@carlossantiago8321]

I saw an earlier version of this where they went for a ride and the owner of the van was soon happy not to mention his system was playing niiiice

[@jman4573]

I can relate to mike it takes a while to get to where your at I just bought my HO alternator. I was advised though to stay away from that 370 something about it not being good for daily use? That it only makes good amperage at 3k or summ I don’t remember I got a 320 instead!

[@1775bobcat]

Man I love this video!! that Mike reminds me of my Dad's friend Happy positive yelling guy

[@EXOcontralto]

It's funny you say that. Mike reminds me a lot of my father and pretty much every other character my father brought around while growing up 😂

That's how you know exo a good dude he panic yelled ill give you a hundred dollars before even seeing if the vape was broke lol. Good stuff my guy

[@waderyun.war00034]

You know you can pull the 4 bolts out of the alternator and turn the back plate to where I you needed it. It's called clocking the alternator.

[@EXOcontralto]

Some other suggestions saying the same, thanks for the comment Wade!

[@waderyun.war00034]

EXOcontralto saw that when I scanned through the comments it's awesome seeing you help others out keep it. If I wasn't so broke I would send a donation.

[@gregl5677]

Yeah i second that you can clock the alternator. Ive gotten some from factory not clocked properly. Just remove bolts and turn. Good tip

Exactly what i was gonna say lol

Thanks EXO I was wondering if I can fit a few alternators under the hood of a GMC Savana which is about the same as this guy van. There ain't no room for more than one alternator. : (

Lol that guy was awesome! Hope to see him on a future video!

[@EXOcontralto]

Me too!

[@MortifiedU]

Copper washer.. awesome work, but on that negative terminal use a copper washer 'for the extra bite'.. when two different metals are used and electricity past it may speed up corrosion. Not a biggie, as in may take a few years. But just something to consider, you try to use the same material with electricity where possible otherwise electrolysis or galvanisation may occur. Please correct me if wrong, but just thought about it when watching, I setup a 4wd with additional 300 amp hour batter with solar and a dual battery system..

[@christophertryon7619]

my God man. I'm truly amazed at the work you show. I must admit, my first taste of bass was roughly 16 years ago. my first set up was some boss subs 😂😂 not the best but ran 4 12"s. your videos give me many more ideas to set up my wife's 2012 focus. I've got 2 10"s and 1 12" waiting to build a box and a 2500 watt amp. any ideas on the box idea and subs?

[@EXOcontralto]
