      I tell my customers that it's like surgery. You may be really curious, but it's probably best that you don't see what's going on behind the curtain. Seeing their engine bay empty, or their interior gutted, is usually a bit of a shock.

Today I found it based from a howcast video I found from searching up an alpine amplifier I bought for my car. I watched it for the nostalgia, and this happened to be in the recommended!
    Thank you so much for the knowledge you gave though those videos! It’s over a decade later and I’m still tinkering like a kid, just hopefully doing a better job of it! Definitely going to sub now!

      The 10 character in the VIN would actually be the correct year for parts and application. For example the car may be made the 8th month of 2017 but would in fact be a 2018 vehicle for all important parts and application information. The only time the exact date of manufacture would matter is if there was a split vehicle production for that full year and things were different between an exact set of dates.

    I've been slowly upgrading my car audio system for 5 years, I've ended up coming across EXO, jacobviral, lifeofprice etc and now have become a basshead. There is a whole nother world to car audio other than pioneer speakers. There is the sound quality scene with 3 way speakers from boutique brands like focal, JL and much more, then there is the SPL market people going for max output, using Skar audio, B2 audio, sundown, deafbonce and more. Here in Australia no one imports most of these brands, in America access to this stuff is easy and if I lived in US I would have a insane system :)

      It's all about his editing style. He's said before that when he films and edits he is constantly looking for the story he's going to tell. The reason we all find him doing chores and installing car electronics compelling is because he makes a story out of it. Take this for example. There's the beginning about building Alexander's van in the first place, the middle about the problems he's been having, introduce Seth's background in car electronics, the problem with compatibility, and then a solution and climax with the stereo install is 100% functional. It's simple, but really engaging. Seth's the master at finding a good story to tell in seemingly mundane footage and tasks. It also helps he's got a on camera presence. Alexander is also really good at this as well.

Here in the states, Fiat doesn't have a great reputation and Dodge/Ram didn't have a van since their deal with Mercedes-Benz was over.
