Rafa's quick amp install! - MAZDA - BVV#36

Today Rafa installs a used amplifier into his boss' "spare car". This car is a "low miles" used Mazda. She's a Beaut! Rafa has a couple problems with the cheap amp kit that he was provided. I make an amp plate that replaces the OEM Mazda subwoofer.
In this episode we will compare Wishbone's system install, to Rafa's install. Will Rafa's woofer sound good in a cheap sealed box?! WILL IT BUMP?!

WHAT UP DUDES?!?!? 🙌🙌🙌 I hope you all are doing well with the COVID19 problem!! We are on lock down here in California which has slowed me down a little bit, but I'm still able to work by myself at the shop. It has been a little bit slow to get supplies and materials BUT I'm thankful that we're all healthy over here. Let me know how you guys are doing! I hope you all are doing well!

[@bigdreamsonsmallacres]

Soundman Car Audio people aren’t dying fast enough. There’s still traffic

[@shortmicheal]

GOD DAM SWEET N SOUR HERPES!

[@shortmicheal]

You should buy Rafa a fuckin Ipad! YO!

[@locrewcustoms3490]

All good here !!

[@justkiddin1980]

Yeah man already was missing the more or less daily uploads...missing them now more then ever...Even the Netherlands is in a sort of lockdown for non essential workers...Stay healthy and best wishes!

[@jeremusmaximus147]

Hey, just because your locked down doesn't mean you can't put out a video. House work, BBQ tips and tricks, scrubbing the hydro dipping gunk off the bath tub, or maybe even just a day in the life of the doug?

[@schtekar]

I'd watch Dough mow his lawn

[@ignacio8597]

Damn Rafas hitting his boss with the craigslist special 🤣

[@TurskoVideos]

I can't handle Dougs comments while Rafa is installing the amp hahaha. "You just gonna bolt that plate right over those fries?" 12:31

[@707caballo]

DOUG!!!!!!!! With this lockdown I don't care if it takes you a year just to carpet a box as long as you keep up these weekly videos 😥

[@justinsuydamjs]

G Gutierrez remember when it took him 4 episodes to make wishbones box?

[@ChrisProvazek]

Well said, I literally cant even without soundman in my day... Keep up the uploads

[@1-Six-dee]

We really need more yt content I run out by lun h every day

[@1-Six-dee]

@@justinsuydamjs and four months to build the f150 box when he said he was building a bass van I was like I am 38 I won't live to see the end of this

[@jpmavichana]

This brings me back 10 years back. My first set of subwoofers were 2 - 12" Alpine Type-R with Alpine PDX1.1000. Love the video.

[@NaturallyaspiratedJJM]

Very cool. Give us some more quarantine Amplified action Doug!

[@nagrasto]

8:44 one of the most underrated part of the show is when he chains together a bunch of course words. Gets me every time🤣

[@PHUSII]

Doug, please keep yourself isolated and lock yourself into the shop. Make this great content for people that are quarantined etc. I really can't take a month or more without content if you get sick. That would suck so much! You are a big part of me and my wife's life and our weekly routine. Stay safe and keep your distance to people! The episode was a banger tho! Can't wait for the next episode!

[@adambarnett5679]

Soundman hi I’ve found your videos during lockdown here in the uk and I’ve had to shield. Good funny content that’s kept me entertained and learning new stuff to add to my next upgrade on my car!.. 👍

[@scarr3ll]

*thanks for filming on my bday(9th), its like you're gifting me this episode*

[@imdbtruth]

Never use CCA! But amp installs should be considered essential! The air flow produced by the subwoofers keeps the Corona from entering the body.

[@islerenner]

HELL YEAH DOUG!!!!!! There is some good left in the world. So glad to see your content bro, I've been looking forward to this so much!

[@ericv4152]

Damn doug I’Ve BEEN Waiting for some SOUNDMAN LOAFS...lol

[@legendsofcaraudiobradnewso8424]

Love some hatchback installs! Sounds so good! Great video buddy

[@russellfrancisjr.2407]

Just got back from a cruise to Mexico, I swear Rafa was at the port. He kept asking me “Senor, head unit”? As I was getting back on the ship and I sneezed on him, I said “excuse me Rafa, I’m not gay”!

[@bigdreamsonsmallacres]

No explosions ? Delete this whole damn unit!

[@pshort8086]

Thought I was going to bed, Til I saw a new Soundman video! 🐕

[@hippo-potamus]

They should turn your channel into a tv show. Hilarious, interesting, and highly entertaining.

[@brettrobertleasure]

i don't know about you guys, but i am itching to see doug get back to working on the interior of the mule.

[@hoodheisenberg]

You got jokes! Love your content Doug! Give Rafa a hug for me

[@danvinette2424]

Been missing the show . keep em commin!

[@bluestreaktundra]

TIGHTENING UNIT!!!!!!!!!

[@ScubaShafer]

Awesome.. glad your back my dude..

[@davidthomas495]

Glad you're back Doug! Needed my fix so I started watching from the beginning, Amplified Season 1. Doug, you got OLD.... LOL

[@MrYoda1982]

😭god I needed this video to cheer me up, thanks Doug 👍🏼

[@RockfordF150Bass]

Dayuuum feels awesome to see you upload another vid!!! Stay safe my #1 KZbinr! 💯👍👌

[@thomasprice4398]

Wow we get a video every six months now thx Doug

[@josephsorrentino9530]

Doug these videos should be considered essential.

[@gangster1dave]

Corona alert .. I respect a man that picks up an old ass McDonald's French fri

[@jvander115]

Hey Doug hope you and your family stay safe durning these times!!!

[@toddfromargyle]

Honestly makes me mad jealous watching you guys kick it and do little shit like this. Even if it's an alpine sub in a belva box with aluminum wiring and a stock head unit...reminds me of my first install aside from that sick slab of mdf you carpeted up 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@JakeTheBeast4Prez]

The first actual time someone pulled up while Doug was talking and he didn’t ask, “May I help you?”

[@flexart174]

If the boss wasn't so cheap. Could've built the box ported with the correct air space volume. And gone with ofc amp kit. System would sound even better. Great video fellas I laughed my ass off making Rafa piss him self with the horn.

[@murrayent1able]

I watch this guy before man he's hilarious😂🤣🤣

[@Phos_82]

That stance is called "The Wheat Bread Spread"

[@bruth6138]

Great episode. I love people getting upset about CCA wire. A lot of high voltage transmission power lines are aluminum. There is nothing wrong with CCA. Copper and aluminum both form non conductive oxide. Aluminum also does a better job of dissipating heat. Yes copper is better but if copper is is a 10/10. CCA is a 9/10.

[@GULIVERSOFFROAD]

What the heck I wake up to a new soundman video late at night what is happening in our world lmao

[@bluestangGT2001]

Been missing the show

[@murrayent1able]

Man you see how fast time flies it been 5-6 months sence lockdown🤔😩🥴

[@josedl9543]

Doug, your considered essential because you keep us laughing and entertained during these ruff times. We’re talking about lives here, lives are at stake Doug

[@BaldeeeLoxx_]

Doug I almost spit out my coffee when you said the convid clap. Lol lol. One of the funniest videos.

[@Crunchyham6]

wow i hear the door chiming and i dont expect someone walking thru the door @7:36

[@ADR69]

I almost forgot about this show

[@tdog4891]

We are on lockdown in Ohio until April 6 th I really enjoy watching your videos and wish that you would come out with more. I love Rafa that crazy Mexican he’s a good worker though

[@nuen7825]

WTF! I just watched 30 minutes and felt like it was 5 minutes. Great video!

[@Teebiskit]

Have I been gone for so long that Rafa works at the shop again?

[@SharkRangler]

Doug, it’s called the Kung Flu. Or Bruce Lee Flu, cause it’ll kick your ass.

[@JawjaBill]

It's Alive!

[@Ron_Masterjohn]

Hilarious my favorite type of humor.😊 Rafa need to be very careful because he almost mounted you. 😊

[@courtneeedwards1388]

It's about time where you been man I been waiting two weeks for a new video.

[@socalda909]

Great episode as usual

[@ScubaShafer]

Doug. Your alive.. Rip it.

[@michelevitarelli]

Soundman is alive!

[@barrymonroy7138]

Should of put some wiring ferrals for the power and ground wire...

[@jackdaniels2871]

THE KUNG FLU 😷😂

[@davidbroadbent1470]

Doug should throw that bose sub in the bass van and call it done

[@RTM459]

Only thing I caught is rosie palms this being at home thing is causing problems

[@MrROTD]

Under the seat amp is a great option you dont need to run the power very far.(AC which is the audio signal transmits much better than DC power ie resistance isn't as much of an issue over long distances just like your houses electricity service)

[@workingclassperson2124]

Ya I tell most to go sealed then if they want more bass I school them on what tune/Frequency is what, and what they want it do do-loud or low. then THERE BUDGET!$$$

[@peterthomson6161]

That's not CCA wire it's ACC wire. CCA Copper-clad aluminium wire is an electrical conductor composed of an inner aluminium core and outer copper cladding. The blue wire you're using has aluminium wire on the outside

[@RebelByBlood316]

Damn I got an itch to get mine built 😭😂 nice install fellas

[@caraudioetc]

Wish bone may have had ofc and a ported Doug special and an lc2i, but those pdx amps are no joke.

[@douglasmann1278]

You two are the best

[@barrymonroy7138]

That's how Dean & Fernando do it..

[@c_lo01]

You would swear Rafa worked at the VW plant in Mexico the way he takes a car apart.

[@junjungtz2011]

Rafas installation looks like Circuit City installed it🤣🤣🤣

[@cross_fire_]

Hell yeah! Finally made the credits!

[@HammyTechnoid]

2 percent rule... 0:50 gotta be 2 percent smarter than what you're trying to fix.... *RAFFA!!!!*

[@inmotion81]

This was really funny...love it

[@garywidom]

The hand on top of the intercooler fins!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@psementalist]

Doug and Rafa I'm so happy that you are on KZbin I've been putting up with way to many assholes

[@Johnsautorepair1]

Y'all are a trip!.... Wtf happen to daily videos?... Anyway keep up the videos!

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Good Times !

[@andyschloesser2098]

7:38 CAN I HELP YOU!!!

[@kylekautzman7052]

I need one of those roosters! Where can I get one!?!?

[@loudelvis610]

Doug has Rafa locked in the Gimp cage🤣😂

[@maccustoms2295]

Rafa sounds like a constapated robot. Lol

[@westsurfer87]

Inserting 💥 @ 21:37

[@chrisgolding1259]

Hahaha rooster gets me eveytime hahaha good shit. #burnone

[@johnpinkston7500]

Man! No ferrules for those wires Rafa?

[@stickyleg6541]

The corona has aged Rafa 7 years.

[@robtremble2277]

after rafas done he should put a rainbow sticker on his cars

[@alexgoebel961]

Humpalotas where Rafa humped every thing is probably another reason why he's not employed with sound man

[@NinaBabyTV]

Soundman car audio I have an 08 TSX with Navi and I want to add a single 10" type R too. Thing is... Is it possible to get an Lc7i for the sub only, but be ready for the future when I upgrade the door speakers?

[@the-gti-guy3940]

Thanks for this Doug! Needed a good laugh 😂

[@derrickharris8050]

That chicken doesn't want to go to China 🤣 you guys stay safe out there.

[@nitroboynik]

[@keanubuck1413]

[@Boats29]

[@RiteSideup-nh6kn]

You got some good sponsors .I’ve been away for a couple months ,the genius marketing of the butt cheek isolator brilliant😬

[@KayceeRiceFanPage]

Hey. I have two 12 inch 300 watt AutoTek subs. How much would it be for either a sealed or ported box built (whichever one would be louder) and delivered to NY state? Me vehicle is a 07 ford focus

[@chrclmnky]

Wuhan clap

[@fairfield781]

That's gonna make some nice wheat toast without that fuse lol

[@drewscruis]

So why did he mount the amp crooked?

[@Cooper3312000]

I’m using 8awg CCA wire to my 300watt Audiocontrol sub amp haha it was cheap car hasn’t burnt down yet.

[@quicksno]

How can something be so stupid, but so smart?
