My Next STEREO SYSTEM BUILD! - NVX DSP and AMPLIFIER!

Today I talk about my next car stereo system build. I test the new NVX DSP to make sure it has a "bandpass filter". Then I mount the DSP and amplifier. Then I bed line the bed of The Mule with the Herculiner roll on DIY bed liner kit.

Doug is awesome! I look forward to his video builds daily. You have to have a personality to watch Doug’s channel. It’s not for “everyone”. Keep doing what your doing Doug. Some of us see and recognize the work you do. You have a family to provide for, stay true to yourself as your videos are a direct reflection of who you are. Apologize to no one. Keep going sir!

[@Jason_Voorhees.]

It's a good day when we get an upload from our boy Doug-e-Fresh

[@PHUSII]

Love the episode! Reminds me of the older Soundmans! The explosions are top notch comedy! Keep them coming!

[@therandumbcarguy]

Looks good buddy. The mule has always been one of my favorite builds on KZbin.

[@Jester2All]

I absolutely love how you don't bleep out the cursing. Anyone who has worked on cars, especially wiring, cuss the fuck out of the inanimate objects 😂

[@AlexCarter-AscAudio]

doug you brighten my day first your'e making your own security screws and then you make your own arc welder thank you for making my day better

[@MrDarkSky176]

that intro never gets old love it Mr man!

[@Schmelsworth]

The most classic Soundman Vid that I have seen a while! Still got it Doug.

[@scottkeller87]

Hey Doug thanks for showing that new NVX piece! That DSP looks so simple functionality awesome 👍 Watching your Mule rebuild cool, nothing against Mac but time for some new and smaller chassis tryouts and NVX has great products you already know...😂 I know! I use a brand Recoil similar to NVX in many applications, but not equal. Anyways what about adding a second NVX matching 5- channel on that backboard, then split the power from each amp down the vehicle.. so Amp A runs left side and Amp B runs right side, each pair of channels bridged...your Hybrids would love the Xtra power in those sick kick panel glass pods as you are the "fiberglass master" no doubt, just thinking 2 mirror amps would look killer is all! Great vid ..stay cool ..keep building man ;) I'm old school-

[@endall39]

I agree, save the Mac for something else. Use something compact. There's so many efficient compact amps out there that put out real power. Keep the downsize theme going.

[@Outsida2K]

Would you please do a review of the DSP. And let us know how it works.

[@ChristopherMaier.]

Best channel on KZbin!

[@airtow6766]

You are just a funny ass guy. I binge on your videos everyday!

[@nissanv6TT]

I can't believe I've been watching your channel for nearly 10 years. Thanks for all your content Doug.

[@caseytbss]

Need epoxy primer over the bare metal & body filler before you bed line the stuff. Typing this before I know if you did it!

[@944obscene]

I actually used Herculiner to cover the exterior of a FG box I made a few years ago. It was just a small thing with a shallow RF 10" sub in it, but you put that on a piece of carpet and the coating kept it from going anywhere lol. Could kick the damn thing and it would pull the carpet with it. Never faded, always had like a rubbery feel to it and it seemed to dampen the box a little. Between the Herc outside and the flock inside, it was a tight sounding enclosure, even with the plexi window on the front.

[@HAMMER_2.2]

One of my favorite systems from around 10 years ago was the NVX X Series 5.25 components with the similiar model of SB Acoustics 8" midbass. It was a sweet 3 way setup ran from 2 of the NVX JAD800.4 amps. Subwoofer was an Image Dynamics IDMAX 12 and eventually the NVX X series 10" for a front sub. NVX has made some sick stuff!!

[@sardal1930]

My jad800.4 died two days ago after 10 years of use. I was so sad!

[@illuminatikiller1]

The computer screen was blowin me up during the bedliner music cut.... Niieecce!!!

[@sidemotion]

You've been fixing the Mule so long, I had a whole ass kid. He's 6, and you're still not done. I'm thinking when he graduates in 2035, I'll buy it for his graduation present. Might be done. Probably not.

[@changchung]

I hope he never end The Mule... I love this videos...

[@HoUsEoFcAtS78]

Put the drill in reverse when mixing. Works so much better.

[@hansschroedenbach]

Bedliner, good way to cover up bodywork imperfections. Looks good, looks real good.

[@SunsetWingman]

That DSP looks like they took a miniDSP, put a new case on it, and jacked up the price

[@sethh8892]

That's how you make money, duh😂

[@SunsetWingman]

@@sethh8892 But you can actually just buy a miniDSP already

[@sethh8892]

@@SunsetWingman yeah, but a cmpany could just rebox a product and sell it for more to make more money... Thats how companies make money😂

[@SunsetWingman]

@@sethh8892 You mean how they try to make money. If you are smart you buy the same thing for less.

[@sethh8892]

@@SunsetWingman well yeah, obviously... but 90% of people are retarded and that's why these money making schemes for businesses work... if you purchase anything electronic you've fallen for it. Everyone's using all the same crappy Chinese products, but with different higher-end logos on the front.

[@gev003]

Dougs grandson might be old enough to drive by the time the Mule is done

[@johnnyjohnsen4611]

Finally some carstereo thing in this carstereoshow😅👍

[@bob808]

Good job, Douglas!

[@30aught6]

Hey Doug, look at the top of the drill. There's a fast and slow switch marked 1 and 2.

[@BDJones055]

I can't wait to see Doug give up halfway through this build too. Maybe he will try and hock it at the local flea market. Keep up the great work Doug. I can't believe the Van is gone.

[@robertkeenbuildingmylifesh3429]

Always majorly saving my life motivational to me.... Salute , blessings to everyone grind and motivations.....

[@matthewbauer89]

The only reason I laugh at your struggles with mounting the amp etc is that I go through the same thing every time I try to do something. I ask the same question, why am I having trouble? Keep it up Doug. To help I calm myself with a Bourbon Dougie, 2 shots of Bourbon (Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, Blanton's) and Diet Ginger Ale over ice.

[@Southwood714]

That’s a solid Turd, Mark is shook up.

[@619SanDiegoChargers]

Listening to you work I thought I was hearing my self 😆

[@jacobrzeszewski6527]

I love this channel. It's got that mid 2000s vibe. I'm just getting into car audio and my two observations: JL and AudioControl are the best. Period. And anything cheaper than NVX is gonna be a fire starter. I'm still in my decision making phase of if I want a DSP, 5 channel, or mono block, fancy line out, or just ram a speaker level signal to a JL amp and let it deal with it.

[@thatguykai479]

I went with mono and I’m gonne be upgrading to 5 channel now

[@6hilltop6]

I have this NVX dsp paired to the NVX 6 channel loc connected to 5 channel soundstream reserve amp and sub and it sounds absolutely amazing

[@jmakc3541]

@6:33 We can all be thankful no fumes were ignited! 💣

[@RyanBassForLife]

Nice and yeah I went to a stereo show. It was amazing. Never knew 160db was so loud 😄✔️it out.

[@Hoppysjunkyardrally]

I want the mule so bad! Such a dope ride and my ninja Doug built it! I care what you did Doug 😏

[@hitek835]

Good Old-School video!

[@michaelzernie7092]

That Herculiner, thats what i used for my sub box. Best of the best. Its got a texture now thatll rip flesh from the bones. 2 coats and wow!! 4 x 12 inch BDC2s in an 11 cb ft slot ported box. 250lbs empty.

[@AwesomeBuford]

Looks good Doug. About 20ish years ago I was building a frame off 1992 S-10 Mini. I had the bed and cab sandblasted and sealed. I used the Duplicolor bed liner system as an undercoating and on the floor of the cab which used the similar bulk Gallon and spray cans. Your result was exactly like mine. I ended up using 3 coats but the texture and finish looked exactly to you yours does.

[@macleod1592]

2:57 I laughed my ass off at this part lol..... I can't count how many times I've been in some uncomfortable position trying to make something fit while inventing new cuss words

[@arturozarate1752]

@ 12:32 good masking job!

[@psementalist]

Doug keep up the good work making awesome KZbin videos

[@thedude7726]

Rip it

[@christianh1331]

This is my new favorite channel. I can relate. Died @ 21:27 LMFAO!

[@mkorsun]

You need Dean and Fernando for 5-Star car audio to fix that nightmare😢

[@TommyBlazeHD]

Hope you're staying coll out there Doug! It's hot here in LA, and I know it's even hotter in Santa Clarita. 🥵

[@callmedaz]

I went away for 5 years, came back, still fucking around with the mule😂

[@RyanBassForLife]

Nice my dad has a 15" NVX 1500 rms watt subwoofer.

[@jamesbowes5890]

It does look good, your project is coming along well!!

[@TecniclyAwsm]

I really want that NVX XDSP66BT DSP. I just can't afford one right now, hopefully soon. My whole system is waiting.

[@strassafrass1]

I got some V series in my mini. Looking forward to running an amp onto them and seeing what they can really do.

[@skywalker859]

Herculiner is really good stuff.. I've used it to seal up my floor underneath the vehicle, sealed up my new radiator support and my 6th order bandpass

[@rickyjett675]

Poor Doug's been getn bullied by Rodger for years now! He's the only reason I work late! Gotta get that OT baby!

[@jamesmarze9850]

A cheaper turd brings more joy then a high car payment!!! Yes!!!

[@sawsandstuff380]

I wish they had a phone app to control the dsp. Not a deal breaker but still.

[@edzackery1305]

I haven’t seen wiring that messy outside of a trailer park build. On top of that you used a so so product, applied over an improperly prepared surface. It’ll be fine..only has to shine till the new owner passes the curb right doug 😂

[@justinmurphy2227]

I'm sponsored by Raptorliner and you can most definitely roll it own. Also, since it's a Y2K product, you can add a leveler to the base and hardener to help out. Yes it gets brush strokes out but if you are using a 3-4in roller, it'll get rid of the over lapping lines of extra material. The Blue Foam-Pro line of brushes are amazing! They are super durable and leave the best finish between a smooth surface and a rough surface. Just a great medium. If washed out with warm water, they will last for quite a while. Here's a link to the 4-in rollers. Their full size rollers are just as great. Doug, if you would like, I can get you a considerable discount on some Raptorliner to "reevaluate".... LOL. By the way, I love seeing you do work on the Mule! It's one of the coolest unique rides that I know of and very much deserves more exposure in my opinion. Just let me know if you need anything I'll even have some extra rollers and brushes.

[@Klaus_2323]

"A New Hope" , fucking genius :D

[@scottcates]

Doug -- Listen to me. Are you hearing me, Doug? This is possibly your best video -- like ever. It doesn't matter what you did to Rafa's Mom, Doug. Keep up the good work, brother. At least your boots were pretty for the first few minutes. And never -- I repeat NEVER...put Herculiner on your taint.

[@jbee1542]

I understand the "sq mindset" for next project...pays better. However, we all got the initial itch with the bass. Once that van is finished, it's a rolling billboard. Take your next SQ project at the same meet as van, and destroy your market. Still have much hope for bass van. J.

[@brockfijal9244]

You said wait till we see Your next system, we haven't seen the first system 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂So far the van never bumped !!!!

[@reyesdsac]

Doug your the man.. Keep that shit going. One video at a time. Take your time. and burn it all. lmao.

[@thedude7726]

Rip it and grip it

[@CarsCatAliens]

Love the little Doogie howsier theme song... Now go type in your journal with Vinny

[@strassafrass1]

Raptorliner from Slamazon does a good job as a roll on. its swell.

[@Brianj1529]

I came up an awesome excuse to tell my wife why we NEED to buy the mule. It’s on a sticky note somewhere…

[@thedude7726]

Grip it and rip it bro

[@MichaelHernandez138]

I like Zen Doug 🧘🏻 Keep the Confucius coming 📿🙏

[@six9carolinas]

Hell yeah..

[@audioholic850]

It'll be a miracle if you even finish the mule.

[@bradysimpson]

Doug needs to watch more Dean and Fernando 🤣 Clean that up, son! 😂 Great vid. I missed the nuke

Doug's pain is our viewing pleasure.

Hey you are using a accuair vu4! I've built those!😊

[@georgedra33]

cant wait for the motor to go in!! hopefully it wont take 2 weeks like this damn paintjob... but all good things are worth waiting for!!!

[@myronjansen2165]

Da Fu!! I haven’t been getting notifications!

[@mr.motormaster9881]

Why is this show not in DISCOVERY CHANNEL OR TURBO CHANNEL

[@shanecunningham6082]

Man tell the wife you fugged up when you killed the bass van series.. and your gonna finish it if she likes it or not.. mentioning this for a friend!

[@joedirt1927]

CAF has some great videos on clean wiring

[@RobertL78]

Doug’s next build is a Tahoe with the F150 box with the ports into the driver and passenger seat backs and the mule box in the way back.

[@Southwood714]

Keep it up like Rafa’s mom

[@poopandfartjokes]

He’s back in the mule. Hope he doesn’t miswire the amp, cause a big spark and ignite the goddamn fumes! 🔥

[@they_call_me_don9899]

When you have adhd and start new projects before you Finnish the current ones you're working on haha get your shit together Doug ❤️

[@LobbyDaLobster]

Thanks SloJoe84 - Now you've ruined the surprise. I hope you're happy now.

[@bassmansl9596]

Nice bro 👌

[@greengrss6652]

Where's rafa?

[@thedude7726]

He ripped it

[@lilflip1820]

I used that Herculiner on my sub box and it worked well.

[@Pkripper-67]

It worked swell?

[@jamesmitchell811]

next build should be the Chevy. killer sound system with a slick ipad install and airbags😎

[@ryanhurt6876]

Great video Doug was wondering when you were going to finish the mule😮

[@roussellwhiteiii4536]

I’ll put some stained wood in the parts where the bed liner ain’t. Keep the vids coming Doug

[@thedude7726]

Ripped it

[@cashlessracing]

Can you just use this as a headunit? And stream everything bluetooth. Just use youre phone for volume control

[@dmcsub]

Havent watched soundman in 10 years and we are still on the same build good to know I didnt miss anything appart from a smaller shop now

[@jamesmarze9850]

Lmao straight up hilarious I can relate to your perception on life.

[@FieldDominic-q2k]

Runolfsson Oval

[@poopandfartjokes]

Fun fact: you can just roll on Raptor liner too. I’ve used rough naps and smooth naps. Even the smooth sponge naps will leave a slight texture when it’s finished.

[@NightshiftCustom]

and its much better

[@dvc79707]

motor mount is going to twist

[@johnebuckland]

Hopefully we see Allyn soon

[@gjkrisa]

Why do you have to plan to sell the project to finish it. I’ve been waiting since 2016 atleast to see you finish the mule.

[@bradsmith403]

It always matters what you did Doug

[@FoxhoundOSP]

hipass deez nuts on yo forhead, Doug. lol Sorry man. just sounded funny. Good content brother. been watching for years!
