SOUNDMAN vs CAF vs EXO BASS WARS UPDATE! BVV#65

Try SurfShark, GET 83% OFF and THREE MONTHS FREE! 👉 surfshark.deal...
Today I continue skinning the inside of the Bass Van with 3/4" birch plywood. I begin paneling off the area around the sliding door. I'll need to find a way to work around the sliding door's top track.
Will it slide?!?!?
I talk about the status of the bass van build off. Then I order new pulleys so I can install our new US Alternator and JY Power lithium batteries.

WHAT UP DUDES?!?!?! 🙌🙌🙌 I’ve missed you guys!!! Leave a comment, let me know what you guys are up to.. 🥰🥰🥰✌️

[@kingtankkkingtankk7246]

New sound bite

[@cornellwilliams8922]

My favorite car audio page

[@Jdmstreetking]

Crank the videos

[@squalley]

Missed you too Douggie 😎🥃 Hope the family is safe and well 🤜🏾🤛🏻

[@shawnmcmanaman1]

Get back to ragging on Rafa's mom with the rafa rage clips. I really miss that lol. And the hallelujah sample🤣 good shit

[@loudelvis610]

It's not swell to use a jigsaw....Mark Zuckerberg would have spent an hour and a half picking mobile solutions templates and putting on his 9 layer saftey suit to router out that panel that took you a minute and a half.....And that you can pretend to be Luke Skycaulker with that nifty power caulk gun

[@OtherDalfite]

Lol reading this a year later and dying🤣

[@poopandfartjokes]

“Derrrrrrr!!!!!!!” Had me cracking up every time!

[@masterfabricator]

Is that you rafa?

[@poopandfartjokes]

@@masterfabricator haha no. Where the hell is ol’ wheat loaf? Gimme a noise!

[@therandumbcarguy]

I’ve been waiting for you to drop a new vid... finally!

[@phrogman4654]

That other item you couldn't remember on the engine was a smog pump I bet. You might want to go to the bone yard and pull a front accessory drive off another GM v6 or v8 so you get all the bolts of many lengths and all the brackets. You also need a different water pump (reverse rotation) the belt one is standard rotation.

[@P.Adams626]

I love this channel but I don’t know I’m gonna live long enough to see a single sub go into this van

[@johntrataris8731]

Where has raffa gone?

[@agoodballet]

@American Patriot whoever that is seems to be doing a Dash Mod. I don’t think it’s Rafa though, he would have fucked with him at least once in this episode.unless he’s just trying to keep it drama free with all the Covid bullshit we have going on and all the professional assholes that would jump on and bitch about masks and whatnot.

[@jerodTSI]

Need more rage clips!!

[@masterfabricator]

Dick jokes and bondo is rafa

[@95Sn95]

A compleate front accessory assembly off any 4.3 v6 from at least 90s should bolt up I'd go to salvage yard and buy whole set for next to nothing. A small block assembly may fit but can't remember

[@koop-mi4mc]

Find a S-10 or pickup much more room to work in.

[@chrisp7570]

Some Silverado 1500s had the same V-6 too.

[@tommymoore1752]

And reverse rotation water pump

[@Hoppysjunkyardrally]

Perfect timing.. I just started rolling one😏 WUD UP DOUG!!!

[@darrenlee1765]

genuine fear when that door flopped open! nice work doug :@)

[@caldermarshall5708]

Hey Doug, lots of folks get lift supports for slider doors and open the door upwards. You should do that

[@AhmedSalam]

Liked before I watched, that's how veteran subs do , glad to see u back Doug!

[@CVM222VOLT]

I think the build off results will be easy to predict. CAF will look like a masterpiece in fabrication to a point you won't even want to fire it up but just admire it visually. EXO will look like it was designed on an Etch-a-Sketch but his Tweaked reaction when he fires it up will convince you it must be the loudest to explain why he is acting as he does. Sound Mans just needs a monitor playing his videos as he will have you laughing so hard you won't care how it sounds as long as you can hear his zinger comments. Mead will be standing off to the side just shaking his head.

[@mreinecker]

Doug is going to drive the van on a humid day and the interior is going to swell with all the MDF and explode

[@jayajm2]

One panel install per video. Going to be a while, guys. 😂

[@ChrisInIndy46221]

If you have van service questions You might be able to find a GM Factory Service manual fairly inexpensive on Ebay!

[@turk_xl]

Wall in the slider door. Then you can mount all of the amps on said wall and open the side door at shows to expose the amps. Would be a sick feature

[@Peaterbeaterchickeneater]

About damn time now I can pass this beast 💩💩

[@nickskolsky2560]

Damn man can we get the drum n bass track info for the love of god please in these episodes ?! 😎🤙🏼👌🏼

[@Tikutoos]

We need a full list of his background music😳

[@matthewhockenbrock2728]

Maybe that could be a perk of a KZbin Membership Tier...

[@kaleljll1]

Thumbs up during the adds. Good to see you still being able to work on the bass van!

[@chadkeller4193]

The look on your face when the door fell off! PRICELESS!!! I had to watch it like ten more times.. Great episode

[@BestUnderPressure]

"thought I was getting sued" hahaha

[@Justa4banger79]

Lmao. I lost it when he opened the sliding door. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@DmonkeyProductions]

Hey Doug if you’re wanting useless video ideas like how to pick your amp, you can always do an in depth break down of proper tweeter placement in an 03 Jeep Wrangler.

[@richhancock3110]

I think my kids will be finishing school by the time you get this project done ✅

[@DadsRCGaragePNW]

So idea bro. Hope you see this. About your door track. You could in theory make a new arm that has a different angle. You need some tension on top to keep the door tight. But a different arm could do the trick. You may or may not have to modify the track but if anything you would take that swoop in and move it towards the outside. I know your brain can come up with something. Happy building.

[@droidchevere]

Should build a subwoofer box that looks like a stove for Mark’s bass kitchen

[@alexgoebel961]

If you box around the hinge you can put tweeters or mids into it

[@Arriba-las-nalgas]

Maybe try to fab a sliding door arm to more of a 90 degree angle so it doesn’t stick out into the van as much. maybe source a couple salvage ones.

[@Doublethizzle]

Hello, I'm new here. My nephew asked me to build him a box for his car, being that I build custom furniture pieces, I told him - "sure, why not." Soooo, I watched an old video of yours (BOX BUILDING TIPS BVV#29) and didn't really notice any *tips* . . . nonetheless, I am hooked. Subscribed immediately. Now I just have to go back and watch all the old videos to understand all the jokes. Questions for any one that can answer (remember I am a new to car audio) 1. Why *birch* plywood? Furthemore, why from Home Depot or Lowe's? Neither sell true cabinet grade sheet goods. My local HD carries a 7-ply red oak but it has de-lams all through it. I would think MDO would be a better choice for box builds. 2. If he lives in California why not throw some solar panels on the Astros' roof? Seems like a Cali thing to do. 3. The arm for the sliding door can simply be fabricated to bend upward rather than down. In simplest terms, just flip the bracket up. Can't imagine it would be too difficult to make a new arm that could hug the roof and still allow the door to function normally. Right?

[@OtherDalfite]

I know this is a year old, but I figure I'll answer in case anyone comes across your post. Bitch plywood cuts way, way nicer and is far less toxic than mdf. And it smells nicer and isn't as sensitive to moisture. I've always got my 3/4 birch from Lowes and other than the very edges, I've never found voids. Looks good stained/polyeurethaned too if you want to keep the wood look.

[@PhiMobileSounds]

I would just install the amp rack where the sliding door is and make the best use of the space. Like the RF demo vehicles.

[@shawnmcmanaman1]

Where TF is rafa? I miss the old days when every other sentence out of Doug's mouth was a crack on Rafa's mom 🤣 followed by a rafa rage clip🤣🤣 good stuff

[@mynezye]

You beat me to it. Where the Fuck is Rafa!

[@masterfabricator]

Dick jokes and bondo is rafa.

[@ianmackenzie7340]

Split the panel in half and bond the cut line

[@Winters506]

“Don’t talk about my hairline. I’m 42!” 😂😂

[@psementalist]

Doug Bernards am i so glad to see you back on KZbin again making awesome KZbin videos

[@dondavis9249]

Good video doug one panel installed and surfing the web wow amazing man really that's a lot for you more than I expected to see.

[@derickgreenaway9726]

Wall off the slider door area with the box... Use it to Mount all the amps to.

[@michaelsegarra2709]

Remove the lambo door to see if the wood panel will fit ! Grate to see a video again we miss you weekley

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

SoundMan Beef'n with errybody 😆👌🔥🙌

[@wayneslain9444]

Tbh I think exo would knock him out

[@hushluck]

I do miss Tuesday & Thursday videos... We miss ya Doug!

[@FatboyBass]

Fabricate a rail on the roof for the sliding door so its all external when ya pop and open it.

[@chickenpimp5190]

Who knew all Astros had a built in wheelchair ramp.

[@agent1543]

Can you lower the track and invert the arm? Just an idea, you can hide the track in the boards maybe? Might make it stronger and prevent it from rattling.

[@Treylopez1997]

In the next video Doug will put another sheet of plywood in the bass van

[@bygboie]

Had a couple of weeks of bad news, but you and your videos just put a big ass smile on my face. Thanks

[@JRSLASH]

When the sliding door almost fell 😂😂

[@davidhenderson5600]

Oh gawd the "derr" took me right back to high-school! Haven't laughed that hard for a long time.......thanks Dougie!

[@bobbybyrkett7751]

Doug the other pulley is for the smog pump

[@Jiiaho]

I havent enjoyed any video in a while as much as these bass van videos. keep up the good work man

[@bonzainews]

Doug really knows me. I just squat down to drop a juicy double and he says not to cut my morning turd short yet 12:55. Lol

[@markalbiar6151]

You like it huh?

[@juliewaite3718]

Just change the puppy on the alternator. Look up Martin Gear.

[@ThatOneGuySometime]

Why don’t you just weld the sliding door onto the frame? It would add a lot of rigidity and could reduce the weight some by removing the superfluous tracks and latches.

[@snowsheldon77]

Hey Doug bend a piece of bar stock into a L and weld it onto the support bar for the sliding door so that it’s up really close to the door and then cut out the old one so that the stock slider is still in the same place... that way you won’t have to make suck a big box around it..

[@paulhughes3961]

I say weld that sliding door then you can scaly wag all of that weather strip and metal that's in the way, 🥸🥸🥸

[@Muffin460]

still my fav show on utube running like 8 9 years strong keep em commin

[@rockybundrick2297]

If you have the 4.3 it's easy 4.3 5.0 and 5.7 would work just go salvage yard get the bolts brackets and accessories water pump and fan youl have to get for the year you get parts from rotation is different in 86 there was a v and serpentine combo also

[@AnyRoadAnyTime]

This is so good. But Steve Meade should jump into this challenge, also.

[@damienriggs2691]

Smog pump?

[@jamesdharrington8577]

Soundman looked like Jim from Taxi imitating Mark Z.

[@lintsausage]

That turn around durrr at the end had me crying, good to see you again doug

[@urbansasquatch5537]

What screws do you use after you put pl on and screw the wood pieces together?

[@cloaked45]

I have just finished my Afternoon turd when I saw this dropped. Told the boss I gotta go again.

[@1deadly187]

You might be able to get that outer piece in the side if you "Lambo" the door again........................... But you probably already have a way figured.....

[@tonypatterson220]

Hey Doug if you didn't know already that Cadillac CUE face mod is a motorized face and rolls up and down just so you know. Also if your able to pull it off I too like another person commented would like to see you make a video on the Cadillac mod.

[@integritymobilesolutions5448]

Why don’t you put the alternators in the back of the van and run them off of Electric motors

[@WhitmeisterG]

Looking tight Doug. Do you think you'll be finished by Christmas? I mean the wood panelling obviously we all know that rest of the van will be done just in time for your daughter to take it to college.

[@sergiobarragan6463]

You kill me with the dog that pops up out of nowhere. Then with the kitchen Fab Swell lhfh

[@martyzuno4807]

Today I had my first real customer... thanks Doug ... stumbled across your vids because I’ve got a squareback too ... learned a lot from your silly vids ... keep that shit cool 😎

[@alessandrochiodo9186]

all those dash mods turning into bass van juice !

[@1687cellycell]

Do it hurt that no other KZbinr acknowledge you

[@Clint102696]

Love to see your videos again. I’ve been watching since high school. Keep going!

[@masterfabricator]

Doug put a baby gate in his van,did you get a new Mexican to replace rafa?

[@jesscneal]

Lookin good Douglas 👍❤️😘😆😍😅😜🎄🎅😂😱😈💀👻👽👾💩😺😹🙈👨👮👳💇👊🐒🐍🍡🍸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

[@Dodger_Dawg_]

Duuuude WTF! LOL when you said Dickford Ballsgate I was eating a fruit cup and spit that sh1t up everywhere hahahahaha!!

[@ripperace]

If that engine is a 4.3, do yourself a favor and get to a salvage yard that might have an old Chevy full size truck with the same engine or a small block v8. Everything will be bolt on, and it’ll save you a helluva lot of time looking for pulleys and bits to make the old accessories work with new pulleys. Look for 4.3, 5.0, 5.7 Chevy engines from 87 till the early 2000’s. The water pump is needed too, as when you convert from v belts to serpentine, the rotation of the pump changes too.

[@dannyclark7746]

Just weld and shave the side door shut. I've done this before. Works swell....

[@kurupt8308]

Put a port out that roof cut out lol

[@phasehalide]

Doug why did you bother shaving and installing a door popper on the side door although you where going to be boxing it in from the inside with wood like you are? Aou still going to still open the side door to show amps or the subs in the final plan? Oh and wheres Rafa man? Good to see you post an update after a while!

[@derickgreenaway9726]

Before you go too far take out the second layer of wood...drill holes in the first layer and spray foam all of the cavities

[@MadClowdz]

Watching this while my 10 year old daughter is laying in the bed...noticed the look on her face and realized I should've put the headphones on. 🤣

[@melissajean5767]

Sooo I never win anything so I went ahead and just ordered your sticker pack.. Should be here this weekend♥️♥️♥️ & best part is.. I happily own a Subaru

[@cliffp73]

Van vlog 2,389. We are putting the subs in. We can’t buy gas anymore! So I had to convert the van to electric. So now we have 2-10” R2 Fosgates. And a 25x2 amp that we can play for 10 minutes before it kills the Vans batteries!

[@waterlover]

Those template skills are on point

Finally dawg been waiting for a drop.

[@RandomRichZ]

have you ever done an ipad dash kit for a 2010 mazda 6?

[@shadowz9260]

So your gonna board the door area up. But have the door open? What’s the point of having it open anyway? Or are you gonna put amps and shit there?

[@JustEnufCustoms]

Well sir what have you been doing miss the regular uploads. The "derrrrrr" is hilarious referring to Mark from the fab kitchen. You crap me up Doug, love watching the vlog. Take care my friend ✌🤪🤪🤪 "Derrrrrr"

[@spikeshostagetv5935]

Great job Doug. So far so good. I loved it when you say creating the glove baby lol

[@jaba512]

check this mad car stereo install , by andrew camrata . on video "plow truck maintenance" he installs a new headunit on his dodge, with a chainsaw!

Van is looking sick bro. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. On a side note. How come no black old school Soundman shirts

[@coreypokorny6356]

Make that sliding door suicide door with hinges on it or a rear flipping Lambo hinge

[@angelscookinglife699]

And how long is this build off a year or two that's what I want to know

[@Dodger_Dawg_]

ARe you the time keeper? The build off is 2 weeks but they seemed to have gone over schedule, so when they're finished they all still lose to dickqualification.... No typo.

[@angelscookinglife699]

@@Dodger_Dawg_ I am not a timekeeper but I am a Time watcher and it just seems like it's taking too much time to be watching feel like I've been watching this for like a year now 😂🤣😂🤣
