This bass war lasting longer than real wars lol

[@user-mt9de5wt5y]

Yes but nowhere near as long as the money grab excursions that have been going on for the past 60 years with the last 30 ramped up to multiple locations at the same time. And the funding of other wars to grab real estate across the planet.

[@onlykillz_1662]

haaaaaaaa 😄

[@JacobBennett45]

For real. Why I quick watching this channel. Nothing happens

[@jerichojoe307]

At this point he's just using the word bass wars to get people to click on his video. Not to mention even though this was just uploaded 16 hours ago I swear I've seen this build before so now he's even redoing old builds, and if it's not, then he's doing a lot of rebates because I've seen quite a few of this very same type of box on his channel; and it has absolutely nothing to do with the bass war😂. Mark from car audio fabrication dropped out, and Doug has pretty much dropped out he just keeps name-dropping bass war 4 clicks. EXO already had the bass war won quite some time ago in my opinion. And after seeing the quality of his build, the rigidity of the cabin that EXO was building; I think Doug bitched up with his little Astro van and pulled out because all he's ever really done was small box fabrication and new that EXO was making him look like a joke. The craziest part about it is that EXO does most of his builds with common hand tools and still out competes😂 whereas these guys have dedicated shops and specialized equipment😂😂😂😂😂😂 So like I said he's just name-dropping "BASS WAR" for clicks. Hell that's why I clicked I thought he was jumping back in, then I saw this little rinky-dink box that he built and realized that he trolled me into giving him an extra view. I don't like deception. I used to watch dugs channel religiously back in the day when it was actually good, but I stopped watching a while ago because it just turned into nonsense and repetition. But I still stayed subscribed to watch something here or there. But after multiple bass War deceptive clickbait titles; I'm tired of being trolled by this guy for views cuz he can't come up with anything interesting or original anymore. I'm out now. Unsubscribed 🤷. There is no more bass war. Every single person that was involved that anyone cared about anyways has pretty much dropped out. The only one that remained consistent in the still working on their build is EXO. And so in my opinion he has already won it 💪. Crazy to how he keeps bagging on Mark and I've heard a few comments about EXO; yet I watch both of their channels more than I ever have his 🤷 the best thing that he has done on this channel in my opinion was the original box for the mule.

[@kyddzofcali]

​@jerichojoe307 my guy wrote a book that no one is going to read 😂

[@hooptastic_hippie8522]

I love how Doug declared Basswars and is the only one participating lol..im here for it!!

[@kevie3]

I feel like if anyone could create a war a be on both sides fighting its self it’s Doug and Rafa’s mom 🤣😂

[@scamchan]

Starting small and working your way up to the big boy boxes is a smart move Doug.

[@deschen851]

Brings me back to high school. Also, nobody cares what Doug does.

[@user-mt9de5wt5y]

I only complain because the entertainment value of your videos are second to none and your craftsmanship is stellar.

[@limited50scla]

Bass Wars are taking forever, but nothing close to Mc Donald’s repairing the Ice Cream Machine 🍦 😂

[@scamchan]

Ice Cream machine is the biggest legal scam Mc Donalds came up with they screw over the franchises with machines they are not allowed for fix on their own.

[@russellfrancisjr.2407]

I like to say how happy I am this build didn’t last as long as the “midget disco” f150 build. Miss ya! Russell

[@DIYAudioGuy]

17:25 I'm not sure about that, my last video was a flop. It had a view count similar to a Big Jeff Audio video.

[@darrellharbin8776]

Your still golden.

[@thevirtualmixtape]

“Cockpit instrumentation” cracks me up every time. 😂😂😂😂

[@Mike-Honcho-]

Doug, don’t let the Debbie Downers get you down, these videos do kinda suck but you put your heart and soul in them and that’s why I appreciate them. Keep it up Dougy!!

[@justkiddin1980]

Seriously i would love to see you do something with infinite baffle…Like the PSsound dude…He does some real crazy stuff..

[@halrichard1969]

Good Show. I didnt learn anything but hey it was cool.

[@garyclemmons1073]

Classic soundman video. Love the edits.

[@reganmorben9248]

Yes! A Box Build!

[@waterlover]

Love how Doug places his wood nice and tight on the cnc table

[@theresalong6573]

never gets old watching u build a box, u explain size and why thing r built and tuning , kool

[@Hoppysjunkyardrally]

Perfect timing.. was searching for something to watch on lunch. WUD UP DOUG!!

[@jonasthemovie]

Terminals would look cleaner if they were closer to an edge and in line with the port, either vertical at the back or horisontal at the bottom.

[@joeb9793]

I agree. Would also have installed the woofers symmetrically so the JL logos mirrored each other instead of having them both angled to the same side.

[@CoquiAudio]

man I telling you this is one of my favorite channels so much fun and comedy I love it no homo! 😂

[@reset1101]

I come for the content and the memes, I also stay for the music. The songs you use on your videos are fire man!

[@johnwanamaker358]

A perfect Friday combo- watching an episode while eating lunch!

[@we-r-one_automotive.daniel3108]

Used all these techniques on my blowthrough 🤙🏽...except carpet lol

[@RyanBassForLife]

Cool it looks good.

[@74elsinore]

You should check out Lippincott Supply in NorCal for your nuts, bolts, screws etc..

[@Andrew_kiwi_AF]

No internal flare on the port?

[@christianh1331]

You do awesome work! I appreciate all the tips and tricks. Very Entertaining!

[@TheJtg0411]

Love the vids Doug! The only thing is that when you calculated for port length for tuning, the port was all internal and now that some is external, it will change the tuning frequency of the box because of its now different internal air volume due to volume displacement. Shouldn't be too drastic of a change though for this build. But sometimes those little miscalculations can be the difference between a good sounding system and a great sounding one. I hope this channel is around forever! Keep up the awesome work! 🤜🤛🤘👍💪🔥

[@ZER0-C00L]

The tube is gonna twist Doug !

[@user-mt9de5wt5y]

I still miss the regular uploads. Stop watching T.V. and start making more videos. 🤪🤪

[@Daniel-gf1zj]

13:59 Its actually “Kuh-nip-x” btw Doug.. 😅

[@1337ASM]

It’s been like 2-3 years since I regularly watched the channel despite having a large monthly subscription on patroon. Seems that I’ve got some good content to catch up on 😂

[@darrinwatts9229]

Now that is a SOUNDMAN VIDEO BUILD

[@UcantBeSerious03]

I think that 90s bass rattled a few of his screws loose. Worthly of a sub.

[@tommyostlie]

U still got it man, well done 😁👍

[@goosunsafetyfirearmtrainin9561]

😂 as always Stellar job, please keep up the great content

[@Category12]

That’s a awesome box !!!

[@joeygarcia6783]

Sounds perfect 🎉🎉❤

[@bigsteviesri]

How much size diffrence would you need to make it for a single jl 8 with a 33/35 hz tune can you the same diamiter of port or would you need to go to a 4" love the vids from glasgow scotland.

[@MikeyFay22]

King Of The Box 😎💨

[@vegetable206]

That grey is coming in strong.

[@maskedsniperr]

Yayaa new Doug Video!

[@hoodheisenberg]

What a beautiful large SHEET

[@RonnieBravo_]

Perfect beat at the end... I didnt hear a word you said... lol 😂😅😂😊

[@edud8452]

That's Swell👍

[@Hk7762Tube]

Can't wait for *THE* Soundman to sell everything, buy 18-wheeler and build a subwoofer container!

[@djparra41]

I bought a couple of these 8s off of FB Marketplace… thought they were 10s… not gunna talk about it. But to my surprise the fuckin bump with 600 watts goin to them so I ain’t mad

[@RobertL78]

The Great Value 2 Live Crew was a nice touch

[@kran5112]

But does it Bump?

[@ssaammaa14]

Nice box bro

[@hobotechMASTER]

this war is like the war on terror. lol. its a long one.

[@ammosingh5899]

Again!! Cockford Ballsgate😂😂😂😂😂😂 just brilliant

[@300LongGun]

I week is complete!!

[@zax2004]

The thumbnail made it look (at least it did to me) like the box had an arm that was punching you in the face with a pink boxing glove on it. lol

[@bojow8102]

Doug has no business talking about other people's heads 🤣 Love you Doug, even with your fivehead 😆👍👍🔊🔊

[@Gnik4144]

20:54 fancy toys lol

[@annihilationindustries1990]

yo Sound man what do u use for software to calculate your subwoofer boxes ?

[@Josh-qk8us]

Any chance we get a bump video of the famous J smell builds

[@bonzainews]

I love that Doug still uses WIN ISD BETA...

[@antariusb]

Hey Doug, can I buy that master sheet of that sub box

[@ThePalikka85]

Is there a reason why you dont use flared ports like aeroport or something similar?🤔

[@HenryShtotz]

Building this J smell box again with these two J smell pumps? How long can you do the same thing?

[@kiklop8362]

Black allen bolts ftw :)

[@jonasthemovie]

What resistance of the coating?

[@chrclmnky]

Bass! LOL. But seriously that 3 inch port will chuff like a Mark Zuckerberg's J smell at even mid tilt.

[@ApEsXiT]

Good call on the construction paper dougie, it helped me poop along.

[@L.o.u.i.s..]

Leaving the port end square?

[@74midwestbass74]

👍👍

[@ReallyConcerned]

Just droppin in to tell you...."Your doing it all wrong Doug".....8==D......lolzzz

[@roadtrippin2781]

Mundial Tailor shears Doug? Nice!

[@russeljones6394]

What brand of carpet do you use?

[@AwesomeBuford]

Doug, have you had any luck using the flared ports?

[@Christianortiz100]

How you calculate the Volume you need for the speakers on a ported box?

[@Dude-Smellmyhelmet]

Google

[@suazzz3070]

Why isn’t Rafa on here anymore?

[@markcasillas2166]

I have a question I was hoping you can help me with,I have 2016 Jeep Cherokee trailhawk kl it came oem with 8.4 uconnect 6 speaker non premium Systeam,since then I’ve added after market kenwood excolone touch screan after market door speakers all new ofc wiring for speakers and amplifiers,the problem I’m having is that the driver door always always sounds distorted,I can put bran new speaker bran new wiring and still get same results,what could it be?

[@darrellharbin8776]

Could be door panel resonance. Do you have any deadening treatment in the door?

[@markcasillas2166]

Yes I have killmate on the door

[@markcasillas2166]

I just can’t pin it,doesn’t matter if I put bran new door speakers or not it’s just driver door all the time

[@darrellharbin8776]

Gotta be something with the door. I had one once (rear door) that did that with multiple speakers. Turns out the mounting surface was not straight and it kinda torqued the basket just enough to get the coil off center which screwed up the linearity and had a little “rub”. I installed a speaker ring of foam and fixed it. That could be your situation

[@greengrss6652]

Cant even get a like from the man...done buying ur merch

[@webberfan1234]

“Inserting You-Nit!”

[@Questionbhv]

Smells like Cookniac in here!

[@mavjnv]

What did you torque the bolts for the speakers to. Hahaha.

[@04ninjazx10rr]

Qualatitty at it's finest.

[@MikesAdventure]

Bring out the SMD IM-SG 👀

[@Ron_Masterjohn]

I’m not a bass head and just want an even good proper sound quality like the way the song was mixed by the recording sound engineer intended it. A proper balance and not over powering muddy bass. For a 2002 Suburban what is best for listening to classic rock like the Foo Fighters and Van Halen what kind of subs and box would sound the best and have quick punchy kick drum and bass guitar? Sealed or ported for tight accurate reproduction?

[@MrDopey32]

A couple 10 inch in a sealed box for rock. Sounds good for punchy bass of rock. That's my opinion😊

[@95Sn95]

I can believe people will bend over and want JL to bang em in the ass... $329 for an 8" sub with a small motor and a steel frame!?!? Highway robbery. The recoil echo pro 8" is actually better looking and uses the exact same frame and I believe the motor is slightly larger or the same motor i bet they come from the same build house, BUT the echo pro is $60! What an 8" built from those components should be. And as far as the JL is better and has way better SQ I will debate that I would love to see a blind A B test and I bet after the JL buyers would be wtf seriously what did I get for the extra $270??? It's amazing what people will spend for a logo, The worst part is that the jl logo is gonna be hidden lol. But can't knock JL if they can fool people why not I guess.

[@ajflores84]

How much would that box cost me? Since you’ve already done the footwork behind it? I’ll go pick it up when complete.

[@masterfabricator]

Im the only MASTER in here ill have you know 😅 dont be forgetting this... continue on. 🎉

[@79asspin]

👍👍👍

[@damianbeelzly3685]

What's the song at 19:55 and background music at 20:28

[@arturozarate1752]

Doug, its good to see that your responsble choice of quiting the Bass Van is taking you down a better path. You've gotta earn for the family man. If you gotta "cookie cutter" sub boxes man do it! Pro-box HELL...."DB's Bass-brix" in stock at a hot rod shop near you! Every day you're stepping higher and higher! You on your way up "nickel" Say hi to Zuckerberg, for me when you get there bruh. EXO still hustling to keep his lead in the race😂😂😂😂

[@kevinhamlett1400]

Bong rips in the background made me smoke one.

[@paullmight42]

It doesn't matter what ya did Doug...

[@darrenlee1765]

bro, pop the JL logo's off and blue them back on straight. MY OCD IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@goosunsafetyfirearmtrainin9561]

Are you coming to Vegas, PSsound is coming.

[@cliffp73]

25:39 how about get an anodized and make one red and one black…

[@mountain.sledder]

Would you look at that, some car audio builds. Was going to tell you to change your name to bodyjobman 😂

[@wijibo6772]

I installed an engine in a mule. It was furious.

[@derekscherban3952]

I have been watching you since day one and enjoy your vids.. I just don't understand why you build quality boxes just to install a hillbilly port.. use a flared port end that screws to the box.. looks better, reduces port noise and is more secure.. other than that keep up the good vids

[@soundman_caraudio]

THANK YOU! You won't have port noise as long as the diameter is large enough. you only get port noise when you go too skinny.

[@Mike-Honcho-]

@@soundman_caraudioThat’s what she said!

[@jxke]

I use Surfshark to look at pictures of Rafa's Mom.

[@jzlharvey]

2:00 start

[@shanecunningham6082]

Why hang the port out like that though?

[@greengrss6652]

will work for bass...my router broke!

[@rickyjett675]

But will it bump?

[@ocda3]

Doug over here talking about Mark's giant forehead acting like his hairline doesn't look like it's on a pilgrimage to Mecca.
