[@EXOcontralto]

Happy Friday, Everyone!!! Hope you had a great holiday 🙂 Time to fix what the subwoofers have already destroyed 😅

[@SKITYSTUDIOS]

Lovin the van exo

[@skity1233]

Are u going to use vibe door speakers in the future??

[@justkiddin1980]

Please my guy shell out for a great aftermarket alarm that doesn’t integrate with the ODB system thats added on just to protect against people that might want to steal that thing…

[@CTC540]

Exo where can I get some fans like that for Mt amps so cool

[@Higginbottom_2]

Probably should’ve used nyloc nuts on all the new bolts. Hope the lock washers hold🤞🏻

[@loud_n_lowtaco200]

We need some traffic/public bass reactions from this beast!!!

[@Hntr618]

Yesss

[@skity1233]

Cmon g

[@elice05]

HELL YEAH!!!

[@VENAROA_L.]

Haha you're crazy. I think this system has to get loud bass in traffic too😎

[@hectormtz18]

Yes!

[@92804dv]

Pro tip for the wiper arm removal - back off the nut a couple of threads, pull up/out on the wiper arm, then give the nut a tap with a hammer, don't have to hit it too hard for it to come off.

[@skippy710]

Just wiggle it hard and use mallet if anything hammer to hard

[@alpinetype98R]

Thank you, about to change my wiper motor, this will probably be useful info lol

[@jimmydanc]

Pro tip, just push down on the arm where it flexes 10-15 times

[@pissgoat]

you literally have to press down on the hinged part and it will automatically loosen it

[@MaNNeRz91]

If you bend the wiper arm back where it hinges they usually just pop off without unnecessary force 👀

[@myboy051]

I’m an Automotive tech of 22 years. Next time you have an issue removing wiper arms. Put the nut back on a few full turns and hit it with a dead blow. If you don’t have a dead blow. But the socket on the nut and hit the socket with a hammer. They will pop right off.

[@Alkatross]

Smart! Good idea

[@pgmurray76]

No. Hood down. Arms up. No beaty-beaty. No pullers. No bs.

[@jimmylundin4380]

So you teach people the wrong way to do it? Just bash it like an idiot. So what if the mecanism inside break?

[@zacjenkins1258]

I'm just wondering if anyone in the bass competitive world has ever built a setup off a retired armored truck.... It's already beefed up from factory. That would be a perfect platform to build off of

[@RotaryTurbo]

Yea, and they're already set up to haul loads of weight because of coins. You could do the same trick exo did by stripping it down some first and probably have loads of vehicle weight rating headroom.

[@gregkrueger331]

BOSS Audio did an armored money truck in 1999. There’s a video of it on Reddit but it might be found in other places too.

[@priscripzionz]

I'm from the island of jamaica,i follow all your vids and i believe that youre such a genuine person.aint no one can hate on you.

[@CarsCatAliens]

I could not agree more my friend. Sadly though there are too many hateful people on the Earth that we have to share our time on this planet...

[@liftedcj7on44s]

On that wiper arm bracket I would add a 3/16" steel plate behind it that sandwiches the firewall.

[@ericcleland817]

Taking the bass van to the event was a worth while deal in my opinion. Youll never be able to push it to it maximum potential unless your able to work your way up to that point. The event allowed you to do a soft to mid grade starting demo, but you already knew that there would be areas that would need addressing to ensure the van doesnt fall apart, and also makes the bass much cleaner, and deeper overall. Better to find out now, than later.. Awesome Video..

[@jasonhughes1156]

For the windshield wiper repair: if those nuts back off, you should look into stainless rivnuts and locktite.

[@icandreamstream]

Love that the build is ALIVE. Just a small suggestion: you’re gonna want loctite on that hardware.

[@joebruce2180]

Exo is nuts.In a good way!!!! His passion and knowledge is unmatched!!

[@u9Nails]

I'm not risking my gaming PC to click on that typo! LOL!

[@IchabodCraneMD]

Such a great video. Have watched you for years and keep me wanting more. The full explaination of everything you do is so well thought out even when a mistake or miscalculation is made it's explained away and repaired. Love every second! Thank you!

[@iammikegolf-hc3wp]

You should try getting an aftermarket aluminium resevoir.

[@brian6029]

Was thinking the same thing especially if the plastic one keeps breaking. Unless of course he make some kinda cushion or brace to help absorb all that. Guess we will wait and see. 😎👍

[@Jesusnumber1]

I got to say I really love the build Bruce however the approach to building a loud demo vehicle from a stock chassis never works out reason being is because these vehicles off the line are not designed to handle that kind of vibration no matter how you reinforce it. You should have started out with a brinks transport vehicle or H1 hummer because the cab of these vehicles are designed to handle that kind of pressure. My trunk even though it was one of the loudest on Earth it could not hold up to the pressure of 162db+ Burps and everything just eventually broke hence I retired. I wish you all the luck but it's a never-ending money pit brother.

[@kyleg5141]

Ive been watching all your videos for years and im so happy to see your channel growing. Good luck fixing up your van!

[@eugeneirons7907]

Man I love the positive energy even though you are faced with so many challenges. You do more than just talk about car audio you give out life lessons and ways we can achieve our own goals. Thanks EXO for being that guy we can look up to 💪🏾💪🏾

[@232Stangpwr]

Love it! Damage report and upgrades all in one video.

[@DrewStone0515]

I cant lie brother, I look forward to your videos all the time!!! Keep kicking ass!!!

[@focusdrivenmedia3436]

If the future taking the wipers off open them up/lift wipers. The pivot point adds extra tension to it

[@curtisarchambault5346]

Exo knocking the socks off and car parts! My main motivation for changing my bass up is you bud!

[@BaconMoney420]

This is amazing, great job EXO!!!!!

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

Really looking forward to those door panels!

[@kevculmstock1]

This is next level stuff man. Congratulations on all your hard work!

[@TSYN_reviews]

Love all the support you are receiving in the comments. You are amazing EXO you keep doing things the way you are doing them and trust me .. life has a plan for you . Keep safe and keep bassin !! 😊

[@Nedsped0]

All that damage that quickly 😂 can't believe it! I'm pretty sure you've got the windshield thought too, I mean, you aren't even tuned yet 😅 love it👍

[@TAZSOB]

This is the first bass build I've followed, great system and it gives me tingles seeing them subs pushing air

[@lonnienunes]

Love the build very epic 😎 can't wait to see how big a number it's going to do in a competition .

[@davezimmerman8627]

[@ballodium9358]

[@BASS-IS-LIFE]

[@CarAudioEnthusiasts]

[@teerrppss]

[@ryanwalker8180]

EXO just to give you a perspective on how many fans and people that love your videos. I watched it 8 minutes after being posted and i liked it right away and was the 150th person and by the time i finished watching the video you had 575 likes. We love you and your videos are a huge inspiration to all of us

[@RJSDZNS]

Another great upload! I can't wait for the next!

[@toodarkpark]

This is the part of the build that I really enjoy. It works and is awesome, but you turn it up bit by bit and then fix what breaks. Rinse. Repeat. I can't wait to see what breaks after the next show!

[@russianmafia792]

Great video

[@LynnAmos-xf8dx]

Love the build man huge fan

[@kennyjoassaint6854]

[@alanstant9356]

It happens to all of us, my friend. It's amazing what bass does to the vehicle with all that power.

[@DJ-ob3mp]

You should add sound deadning in the windshield wiper motor area as well

[@GaryEwing-fw1wy]

Man keep doing what you are doing. I've been following you this whole build. Pretty sure I follow you on about 6 or 7 different google accounts LMAO!!! I live in Huntsville now but been all over the US.. Hopefully I'll get a chance to get a demo from this bad boy!

[@Dot1Nicholas]

[@jordan3204]

I love the channel and will always be here watching and maybe someday ill get a chance to meet ya and experience the build first hand!

[@chadrizla496]

I always wondered what toll this took on a vehicle. Especially when your north of 150+. Thanks for sharing this.

[@sliminus92]

Cant understand how ur "only" at 655k subs. Ur videos are 10/10. And im in love with ur build. I have been inspired to build a larger building myself. 🔥🔥🔥

[@stevefox3763]

Lol My four 12's loosen interior screws, EXO says hold my beer and breaks welds all over the place ha ha.

[@leeluxford6039]

Exo left the building when that wiper arm went 😮 hope you didnt hurt ya self to bad

[@justmessingaround7126]

So nicee brooo keep it upp, huge audio fan

[@marioterras3044]

the fun has just begun indeed !

[@electronicsguru4050]

You’re the best bro, I love to watch your videos. Keep it up man. We are all proud of you. 👍🏽 🎉

[@johnebuckland]

Love the build EXO. Amazing you went to the trouble to over engineer that area of the firewall. Hope the Honda works out ok, bless you greeting the Deer. ❤❤

[@freddiemoralez1536]

❤ IT 👍😎. AND THE WORK CONTINUES 🎉🎉

[@seedoubleyou6201]

Happy Friday

[@Chris-B-Bassin]

[@SKITYSTUDIOS]

Yes mate love the vids

[@Martynas605]

I was waiting this video :) !!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@zoopinc]

wow, i love these vids!

[@rjm31992]

I appreciate your videos man, your really a inspiration!

[@down2earth838]

Excellent job from day 1 till now. Only thing I don’t understand with all these builds is solid steel to build and frame box and expect soda can thick metal to survive in the front 😂

[@gordn24555]

Exo racking up the views and likes in true bass head fashion! Got the throwed together Nissan van or whatever shaking n wobbling imagine another 12 18's and more amps : 0

[@cedric38wilson]

Good build

[@kalebdelong3781]

What the heck!!! Stupid KZbin didn’t even notify me about the vid! Thanks for the content exooo

[@aestheticdetailstudio3939]

I been waiting for the next video

[@edwinsparks2165]

Sooooo Badazzz.....All Love from my family to yours!!!!

[@loaked3000]

"This. Bracket. Wont. Come. Off. HEEEYAAA!!!!" Goes flying. OMG that made me laugh so hard

[@washant]

Love this build mann 12 freakin 18s sheesh🔥

[@tomw2003]

I look at you with admiration, sir!

[@colfox9779]

Amazing job on this build! Your determination and perseverance are incredibly inspiring. Having some offroading experience personally, if you haven't already, I would add another lock nut on the other end of the roof braces, without the nut to hold the threads tight against the rod, the vibrations will eventually strip em out. Congrats on making your dream build a reality!!!

[@victorlambertt4662]

Thanks EXO you are one awesome guy I love you videos 💯

[@Lsx865]

Awesome work brotha. Dang was hoping to get a demo in knoxville. Maybe next time

[@nicke1370]

[@ehrenkrause9861]

[@Burden1113]

Love ya man!!!!

[@smigletat9634]

Just under that cow.. It looks as though you need to buy yourself a rivet/nut gun old friend🤛🤜 Always worked for me when in need of some anchoring!! This tool should be essential in car audio for SURE! Great vid as always.. Nice work my man!

[@cowboyexecution3642]

Exo is very smart💪💯

[@billynomates920]

casualty of bass. if exo hasn't just come up with the name of a badass tune then i don't know

[@billynomates920]

master cylinder - leave the show. that's a good one as well.

[@floranfauna3090]

Hell yeah!

[@gordiefrench5342]

Hey exo Insane how much damage But it was good to see before you let it rip and get it fixed Great job on a monumental build

[@saleen0402]

Love you bro!

[@JDMerica]

You're the only guy who gives me motivation to get off my butt and finish parts of the build lol. Love it!

[@zZBucketsZz]

wow dude, i didn't know you lived near k-town. that's awesome! i'm in Oak Ridge. small world.

[@rustybrown9829]

When you do the test . Watch your intake . Try to see if they have a aluminum replacement. Amazing build brother 👍
