Great tip on using reverse on the drill!! Especially when you only need to take just a little bit off. I to have grabbed my drill, shoved it in the hole, rushing, and had the terminal ripped from my hands!! Not only do you NOT trim what you want.. but like you said, sometimes it'll rip that little thing right off of the lines!! And now your starting over.... take your time and do things right! 5 or 10 seconds of thinking and slowing down will save you hours of headache.
Dude, i work at Advance Auto, trust me, don't get the silver battery, if you are into car audio, get the Platinum AGM. I have heard back from my car audio customers that it has improved their sound. It also doesn't vent, so the terminals wont corrode. I put AGMs in all my builds.
I have done hundreds of stereo installs and have always ran my power wires underneath and pinned it up and customers were like what you doing, I'd just say you'll thank me later and made sure it was protected from bumps and such, there are various grommets and trunk drains that can be used so that's more than under dash and you don't have to pull but maybe one or two interior panels off and boom it's wired and ready, some people just can't understand why we do stereo installs like this exo and like you bro been In the game for a long time excellent videos buddy
You didn't show how to install the 2nd battery. I wanted to see if the original battery needed different terminals, or if there is something else needed to add the 2nd battery other than cables.
I was going to say the same thing but I noticed that he got separate smaller (lengthwise) of the same ground and power wire he installed and ran the power wire (he installed under the car) into a fuse near the battery then connected it to the battery then another separate smaller power wire connected to the amp. Then for the ground wire, he took a smaller (lengthwise) wire then ran it to the ground on the battery, then another one ran from the battery to the amp. I hope that helps!! I paused the video at 11:27 and followed the wires remembering the colors of the orignal two he installed.
Love your work and videos. I see it both ways with running power externally. My only issue with this particular install is you have zip tied the power wire to the fuel lines. Not a good thing if the insulation wears thru.
Heck yeah dude that's awesome !!!I love to see when you get excited bro !!!When you saw that 140 DB that was priceless!!!I felt Your happiness through my phone!!! Congrats to Elise she's bumping now!!!!
Nice job exo!! Gotta make the misses happy!! Very respectable number. A 140 on a single sub daily driver box. Congrats. That's perfect for everyday listening!! Keep up the great work!!
One helpful thing to know bass is a long wave form so if you the rider or driver in a car what to hear it well, put you bass speaker farther away from you when possible. Like in this case you don't need the rear seats down and playing it that loud. Point you bass speaker toward the back of the car and do as much as possible to stop the truck from rattling, especially the lid and the rear lights. Glad you were wise about the power wires. Yes, a fuse at the battery up front is great, but you partly ruined that safe plan by not fusing the battery in the trunk. Also a softer speaker, in a ban pass box and maybe 200 watts RMS amp would have worked out very well.
You can also hook the power wire to the second battery straight to the alternator with a circuit breaker in between and run a second large ground from the engine battery to the body then ground your trunk battery straight to the body and the two batteries won't fight for voltage or confuse the alternater.
So you ran a powerline from the 1st batt to the 2and one, grounded the 2nd one off on the chassis, then ran a 2nd positive and negative from the trunk battery to the amp. So good to know when I install my new battery
Surely it'd sound better firing toward the rear, right? I've tried several forward fire setups without being sealed off and it's always better to the rear.
My setup is pretty Similar, got a grey corolla sport with one 12” kaption spl max 1200 watt rms kaption amp. You should really change the factory head unit and speakers, makes a big difference
Just finished a small system in my 97 mercury tracer. Got Hertz speakers in back Audison in front hooked up to a 650 watt rms pioneer amp and 2 10 inch Memphis brx 1044s in a ported box with 1000watt rms amp. What i like about these subs is the magnet is about 9-10 inchs so even though its a 10 inch sub it hits harder then a lot of 12s out there.
In this case it was decided PURELY off the convenience of moving things. Having the sub to the front allows more storage in the trunk without damaging the sub.
Don't get caught up on the AGM part. If the batteries are not the exact same then you need to add an isolator so you do not kill your main battery overnight.
Nice job hey bro I've never watched your videos I think I've sat all month and watched every video you made from the beginning I seen you come up through like the last 5 years lol.. you can see the changes in your place and in your stereo systems with you and your girl pretty cool man wish you luck on you're endeavor you make me laugh too. Keep doing your thing boy God bless
Pepsi, sprite, Canada Dry ginger ale would’ve helped with the corrosion on the battery!! You can literally see the acidity from the sodas eat away at the corrosion.
What kind of build would you suggest for listening to Decaf with a 10 inch? I'm not a person who likes "loud" anymore, but I want it to get LOW... like movie theater low...
True... unless I do a build with multiple drivers ... more cone area can result in lots of low bass too... two 10's have more surface area than one 12... if you are limited for box size... I have enough room for a 1.73cuft box which will work for two 10s but only for one twelve.. it's all about moving air.. :)
Spot on sir. Now. My personal plan is to make a box for 4x12" 275w rms jbl's to see how much they can do with about 1,5kW of power. I'm hoping to get some decent bass with a box i'll have built & tuned for 30-32hz. I'm currently running two jbl 12's as mentioned before on 500w rms, and i believe they're pushing over 135dB, hopefully closer to 140. But that's in an oem jbl box most likely tuned for 55-65hz.
EXO.. I'm thinking about doing the same thing to my little beater car as well. I see in the video that you have the stock head unit. is it possible to get clean clear music highs, and low Bass with just the speaker upgrades, and amp, with a factory head unit? In your video sounds like yes.
EXOcontralto Just two more questions.. #1 Was it necessary for you to put two batteries in this build? #2 By "HPF settings will hurt you" you mean, it will be hard to set it up?
I personally think the subwoofer should be pointed towards the back of the car, instead of pointed towards the windshield.. I mean I've done it like that for years.. the bass tends to be deeper and harder that way but I guess to each its own. Awesome!!!!
You're VERY right! But this setup is meant for daily travelling and grocery getting. With the sub facing the rear, the cone would be constantly hit and possibly damaged from all the stuff we transport in the trunk!!!
EXOcontralto hey buddy yeah you're absolutely right.. in that case then yes I would have kept it the way you did.. I was wondering if you guys could ever get a chance to check out the Power Acoustik subwoofers and the autotek amps.. that's the equipment I had in my car and they seem to do really well but yeah just a thought
Colby from my own experience the sub pointed backwards always seem louder.. and besides I always thought you hear less woofer noise and more deeper Bass
EXO i just installed 2 kicker comp s single 4 ohm voice coil15" subs with a kicker cx600.1 and 4gauge amp kit in my sons 08 dodge ram regular cab 1500. i will be upgrading the amp to a 1200.1 later but right now o was wondering if i should get a new bigger battery or just add the xs power aux battery kit and do the big 3 upgrade. thank you for all the videos and your time for a kinda newb.
Hey EXO can you do a video on tuning an amp? Also quick question I have a 180 amp alternator stock and wondering if I can push 2 15s on a 2500 watt amp without having any issues? I would most likely be running 2000 rms with two kinetic 1800s-pros. I see you have two different batteries? Does it kill the battery quicker since they don't have the same specs?
Kc Pilch you will never know until you try but what kind of vehicle has a stock 180amp alt? Biggest ones I seen stock where 160 and those where big V8 cop cars with shit loads of electronics.
woo hoo 140 on a single nice work EXO ! glad to see someone else's missrs is in the daily 140+ bracket too hehe cheers for the upload, anticipating it for days, take care and hope she enjoy's it !
@EXOcontralto Got a question if u see this comment, i got 2 12s in my truck facing the truck opening should i flip it around and roll around with the sits down for better bass like u did in the video?
Wait you have your remote ran off a switch? Is that so you can turn your amp on and off? I wanted to do that with mine and the guy who installed my stuff laughed and basically said that was a dumb idea
I can tell you one thing those Toyota STOCK door speakers sound amazing to be stock! My mom has a 2011 Toyota Camry and the bass only from the doors is just enough to be shaking some mirrors and the clarity is awesome! Toyota should start up a speaker company too! Who else agrees?
Exo please explain what you did with the secondary battery in the trunk. Im confused on how you hooked everything up and would like to understand so i can repeat the process. EXO READ PLS!!!
stay away from led acid batteries.. buy agm only, they last longer if properly taken care of.. use your warranty before it expires, drain your battery and return it within warranty for a new one
I'm going to make a video about that soon. It's a yes, and no - depending on length and location. People ask that a lot when seeing Frankenstein or Little Blue. It'll make for a great video topic
Not that I would ever pay anyone to replace a battery...... The corrosion would have come off all connections just from the sonic boom of me slapping that can out of her hand.
A A RON hey there question is good. you can aim it anywhere but keep in mind the bass will be absorbed immediately if it hits the padded seats versus the banging in the trunk. Trunk rumble is fine ya know when the license plate slaps. It’s your taste and check out Crutchfield.com faq’s. They have everything
Holy shit thanks for the reverse drill trick on ring terminals! I just ripped a chunk out of my hand a couple weeks ago when the bit grabbed an took me for a ride lol. Thanks buddy!
EXOcontralto I honestly have no idea. I did a 136.3 3 weeks ago on this crappy single xplod 12 and an olddddd Optimus 300w amp. bought lost my bowels over that number. where do you live in nc?
Happy WEDNESDAY, Everyone! :)
Its wednesday in my country :P
EXOcontralto eeeeeeexxxxxxooooo!!!!!!
EXOcontralto bro...my phone says its Wednesday 😂
WOOPS, me too! HAHHA

Just got done with my NVX install Sunday. It was because of you and your Dad that I got it. I love it.
So pumped for you dude!
craig pennington What did u get man I'm looking into trying some Nvx subs?
She may be a keeper man ... When she suggested "You should get a reading on it." She speaks the language! LOL
You didn't show how to install the 2nd battery. I wanted to see if the original battery needed different terminals, or if there is something else needed to add the 2nd battery other than cables.

Heck yeah dude that's awesome !!!I love to see when you get excited bro !!!When you saw that 140 DB that was priceless!!!I felt Your happiness through my phone!!! Congrats to Elise she's bumping now!!!!
Hey man!! I appreciate that, and glad to see you on the channels :)
Hey no problem anytime bass head brother!!!!! I'm a lifetime suscriber to both channels,keep bringing us your awesome videos!!
Lmfao, exo looked at her an said "are you shitting me" priceless had me rolling
LOL, damn girl be sleepin at the wheel!!!
Nice job exo!! Gotta make the misses happy!! Very respectable number. A 140 on a single sub daily driver box. Congrats. That's perfect for everyday listening!! Keep up the great work!!
Thanks man, I think so too!

Dan Hodgkiss I think I need to do that I’m having power issues with my battery’s
So you ran a powerline from the 1st batt to the 2and one, grounded the 2nd one off on the chassis, then ran a 2nd positive and negative from the trunk battery to the amp. So good to know when I install my new battery
He looks so proud which he should be
Since the seats come fold down, why not put the port facing forward?
Surely it'd sound better firing toward the rear, right? I've tried several forward fire setups without being sealed off and it's always better to the rear.
Yeah its louder firing back in my sedan
Had it faced like this for better viewing of the sub on video.
My setup is pretty Similar, got a grey corolla sport with one 12” kaption spl max 1200 watt rms kaption amp. You should really change the factory head unit and speakers, makes a big difference
I don't know what you're spending on fuse blocks or multi-connections but Steve Meade has some awesome ones. I'd one to get a hold of some of them.
I think you like the setup way more than she does...
LOLz, maybe but that's not a surprise :P
Just finished a small system in my 97 mercury tracer. Got Hertz speakers in back Audison in front hooked up to a 650 watt rms pioneer amp and 2 10 inch Memphis brx 1044s in a ported box with 1000watt rms amp. What i like about these subs is the magnet is about 9-10 inchs so even though its a 10 inch sub it hits harder then a lot of 12s out there.
I've learned that using soapy water in a spray bottle helps that zero gauge slide wherever it needs to go lol.
That's not all soapy water is good for
I have a Camry as well, how did you get the rca lines off the stock radio?
Lagmaster0591 inline converter more then likely
NVX hi-lo converter
You will need a Hi/Low Converter
Lagmaster0591 i think he showed in a prev video which inline converter he used
have you ever done a "how to install a volt meter" video?
would love this!!!
Coming up soon!
I’d give up some SPL to get into the high 20s coming from home theater.
What would it take? PEQ? Bigger box? Longer port? Different driver?
😊
I would,'ve never thought of running the power wire under the car and to be honest I think that's a better and safer way than running it in the car.
Less chance of car fires that way
If you add two batteries do you need to beef up tge alternator? Or when are you suppose to beef it up ?
GHOST FACE an extra battery is almost like a bandaid on the problem. An alternator is the better option when putting down the power
Not really into car audio but damn these videos are entertaining and full of good info/content. Subscribed!
THANKS MAN!!!!
glad to see you back at EXO. good video
I'm not going anywhere, slightly crazy but nowhere fast :p
You can also mix baking soda and water, then pour it on a battery cable and it will desolve the corrosion.
How did you decide whether to have to sub facing towards the back seats as you did or facing towards the rear of the trunk?
In this case it was decided PURELY off the convenience of moving things. Having the sub to the front allows more storage in the trunk without damaging the sub.
@@EXOcontralto ive always done to the rear and as close to the rear to make it louder in drivers seat. it i s a hassle ho. spl the same i wonder?
Excellent point about the flammable interior parts
Thanks bro :D
My thoughts too, but what where these lines the wire was attached to ? Hope this wasn't the fuel lines ??
Are you gonna play with different box positioning or was that the loudest positioning you got for it? Or is this purely aesthetic?
Yessir! This position was just for getting a better view of the subwoofer while driving.
Are you kidding? All that from a 10" sub? No way! Great job bro
My bad. Didn't watch till the end. Still.. nice for a 12.
@@jasonchenoweth5448 the big surround makes it look like a 10.
I'm surprised you don't tune lower. I love the lows myself and tune around 28hz. I play a lot in the mid to low 20hz range.
04DurangoLimited 5.7Hemi4x4 he built this for his girlfriends ride. she plays pop and such not decaf. he stated that in the last video.
Tuned for the Mrs, not myself.
does she really like it or just saying that for the video?
I Love your enthusiasm and drive in car audio. 👍👍👀
Much love sir, I appreciate you watching.
How bout the drawstring from your hoodie close to the drill. Made me nervous.
GOOD EYE!
So u can add a second battery as long as they are both agm right? Even if they are both different sizes?
Don't get caught up on the AGM part. If the batteries are not the exact same then you need to add an isolator so you do not kill your main battery overnight.

Keep doing your thing boy God bless
Really nice to see how happy you were to hear your work!!!
love how you do things the right way .
i saw you put another bathery in it. But what about power of alternator? Will this 2 batteries do not kill the alternator?
Pepsi, sprite, Canada Dry ginger ale would’ve helped with the corrosion on the battery!! You can literally see the acidity from the sodas eat away at the corrosion.
YOU TOTALLY DIDN'T MENTION THE #1 ACID EATER THE ORIGINAL COLA THAT DISCOVERED THUS TRICK COCA-COLA
YOU TOTALLY DIDN'T MENTION THE ORIGINAL#1 COLA THAT DISCOVERED THIS ACID EATING HACK COCA-COLA
Exo, you da man!!!!!!!! Thanks for posting all the great videos!! I've learned a lot just from watching
You got it man! Thanks for commenting
2:05 that laugh tho😂
You going to make the journey up to Indy in June? Love to see you there. Another great video!
Can I hook my zero wire to the back of the alternator????
Yes
What kind of build would you suggest for listening to Decaf with a 10 inch? I'm not a person who likes "loud" anymore, but I want it to get LOW... like movie theater low...
I think it's generally Smaller subs = faster response - Bigger subs = lower frequency response.
Maybe try to find a decent low profile 12 or 15 inch?
True... unless I do a build with multiple drivers ... more cone area can result in lots of low bass too... two 10's have more surface area than one 12... if you are limited for box size... I have enough room for a 1.73cuft box which will work for two 10s but only for one twelve.. it's all about moving air.. :)

She does, a very supportive person
👍cool👍

35823582 definitely
Yessir, but the HPF settings will hurt you.
EXOcontralto Just two more questions.. #1 Was it necessary for you to put two batteries in this build? #2 By "HPF settings will hurt you" you mean, it will be hard to set it up?
"Your battery posts are too tight!" Says the one person who always has to bitch on a youtube video XD
Did you check the battery wires for corrosion?
That's what the first part of the vid was about, what planet were you on during that ?
I personally think the subwoofer should be pointed towards the back of the car, instead of pointed towards the windshield.. I mean I've done it like that for years.. the bass tends to be deeper and harder that way but I guess to each its own. Awesome!!!!
You're VERY right! But this setup is meant for daily travelling and grocery getting. With the sub facing the rear, the cone would be constantly hit and possibly damaged from all the stuff we transport in the trunk!!!
EXOcontralto hey buddy yeah you're absolutely right.. in that case then yes I would have kept it the way you did.. I was wondering if you guys could ever get a chance to check out the Power Acoustik subwoofers and the autotek amps.. that's the equipment I had in my car and they seem to do really well but yeah just a thought
EXOcontralto with the rear seats down wouldn't the sub pointed at the cabin be louder?
Colby from my own experience the sub pointed backwards always seem louder.. and besides I always thought you hear less woofer noise and more deeper Bass
EXO i just installed 2 kicker comp s single 4 ohm voice coil15" subs with a kicker cx600.1 and 4gauge amp kit in my sons 08 dodge ram regular cab 1500. i will be upgrading the amp to a 1200.1 later but right now o was wondering if i should get a new bigger battery or just add the xs power aux battery kit and do the big 3 upgrade. thank you for all the videos and your time for a kinda newb.
For that amp, a single stout batt should be fine.
what battery and size would you reccomend? i have noticed you like interstate batteries, or should i save up and get an expensive one
Diehard Platinum is really good. Or maybe a Crescendo HPL :D
the battery in it now is cca 850 and ca 1035 should i stick with that
Thats a damn good batt!
No fuse on battery positive?
This was destroyed from workshop rip
I see you using anl fuses everytime.. are they superior to maxi type fuses?
"are you shitting me?" LMFAO that part killed me
:D
Woops!
Hey EXO can you do a video on tuning an amp? Also quick question I have a 180 amp alternator stock and wondering if I can push 2 15s on a 2500 watt amp without having any issues? I would most likely be running 2000 rms with two kinetic 1800s-pros. I see you have two different batteries? Does it kill the battery quicker since they don't have the same specs?
Kc Pilch you will never know until you try but what kind of vehicle has a stock 180amp alt? Biggest ones I seen stock where 160 and those where big V8 cop cars with shit loads of electronics.
Tammy Forbes I have a Mercedes benz c300 it comes in at 150 and 180 by Bosch oem
you are very smart I like how you making some good progress
Always learing more and more, thanks for the comment!
I like your weight and keep it simple working stress free good job
Anyway to get dimensions from u cor a box for 3 12s in a suzuki RX4
Nan u got me excited as hell by getting excited. Hell yeah
Did little blue ever get the steering issue fixed?
Still effed. No mechanics have been able to fix it.
I am a sub now, love your personality!!!
woo hoo 140 on a single nice work EXO !
glad to see someone else's missrs is in the daily 140+ bracket too hehe
cheers for the upload, anticipating it for days, take care and hope she enjoy's it !
Thanks for the comment man, I was so pumped too. And for sure, i think she's loving the addition heheh
What brand ia the subwoffer?
Sound stream
I noticed the back seats are down ... are you planning to always ride that way?
Would like to know what it hits with the seats up.
No, that was just for the video, to see the subwoofer.
How do you keep the second battery in the trunk charged ?
Wire batteries in parallel
@EXOcontralto Got a question if u see this comment, i got 2 12s in my truck facing the truck opening should i flip it around and roll around with the sits down for better bass like u did in the video?
No you keep the seats down turn the box towards the trunk as close as possible. This will give little extra
No , buddy always face them backwards towards the trunk lid and then lay the back seat down,but I'm sure you've discovered this by now
Nice video 🙌🏼 next time use a jack stand. Safety first my guy!!
Surprised you didn't have it facing rearward. Without sealing off the trunk I've always found rearward is SO much louder.
aero ported out the side, rear facing probably wouldnt make much diff
Wait you have your remote ran off a switch? Is that so you can turn your amp on and off? I wanted to do that with mine and the guy who installed my stuff laughed and basically said that was a dumb idea
because he didn't want to do the extra wiring and mounting of switch
I can tell you one thing those Toyota STOCK door speakers sound amazing to be stock! My mom has a 2011 Toyota Camry and the bass only from the doors is just enough to be shaking some mirrors and the clarity is awesome! Toyota should start up a speaker company too! Who else agrees?
toyota probly out sourse for speakers and switches and stuffs like that , they problem arnt name brand speaker
Anti Venom My 05 Accord had stock pioneer 6x9s so you never know.
stock? that pretty cool, if only my stuff came with good stuff stock lol
Anti Venom they werent very good. Paper cone one way but pioneer none the less. Replaced them with jbl
well i guess stock never usually compares to aftermarket lmao
Exo please explain what you did with the secondary battery in the trunk. Im confused on how you hooked everything up and would like to understand so i can repeat the process. EXO READ PLS!!!
Cain Thornburgh you hook the cable he ran from the main battery the battery in the trunk. Then run you a second wire to the amp.
So you just run positive to positive and the ground to the negative? Then your lead for your amp? Doesnt that put a lot of strain on the alternator??
Correct no it shouldn't
You haft to check if it does you haft to put in a high out put alt
Alright thanks man i appreciate it!
stay away from led acid batteries.. buy agm only, they last longer if properly taken care of.. use your warranty before it expires, drain your battery and return it within warranty for a new one
I think I'm going to turn my box around. Does it sound better with the box facing the car? I have a ported box. The shop faced it to the trunk.
It varies from setup to setup. This car is over 1db louder with a slight angle.
played this on some sony random headphones. the bass was so intense that my ears are hurting fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucg
when do u upgrade ur alternator...?
(@ what wattage)
craizygolf1980 I know i have to😂 2400 watts killed it, I have a capacitor hooked up to it
Soon, hopefully!
all that work and all she can think about is sleep. I wish my girl got as excited about bass as me lol
Poor girl be slippin!
AYO EXO I thought you were supposed to have another fuse between your second Batt and the AMP.
I'm going to make a video about that soon. It's a yes, and no - depending on length and location. People ask that a lot when seeing Frankenstein or Little Blue. It'll make for a great video topic
Not that I would ever pay anyone to replace a battery...... The corrosion would have come off all connections just from the sonic boom of me slapping that can out of her hand.
LMAO :D
Not just a drop in voltage, the added resistance will seriously affect current flow
Thank god I’m a mechanic.... I could never let advance touch my car. 🤷🏻♂️
I have my system in a 4 door car as well and should I turn the box towards the seats or keep it facing the trunk lid?? Pls help !!!!
A A RON hey there question is good. you can aim it anywhere but keep in mind the bass will be absorbed immediately if it hits the padded seats versus the banging in the trunk. Trunk rumble is fine ya know when the license plate slaps. It’s your taste and check out Crutchfield.com faq’s. They have everything

I always run my power wire next to the fuel lines, unfused so if something happens at least I go out in style.
Lol, just don't forget your weenies and marshmallows
Where did you ground the battery in the trunk? Was there a fuse coming from battery to amp?
he used the ground he had cleaned off to the 2nd battery then either did another ground to amp or used the ground terminal from that battery
She is super cute. Great install too!
She sure is, I love that girl :)
You taught me something with that reverse drill. You should only use black zip ties for UV protection from sunlight reflected off of snow.
Thanks for the suggestion, Joshua! Glad you find these videos informational at times :)
Coke works well too. Just imagine what it's doing to your insides.
Oh it makes your insides numb
Vote Trump yup. Just like having Trump as president. Lol
I hate coke cuz that shit isnt good for u. Dark soda is horrible. Sprite and ginger ale I prefer.
EXACTLY!!
Did you ever get her as new sub put in after that shop blew it?

I'm shooting for a 140 with a single 12. but only 1600w 😎 got it firing in a hatch at the glass.
Nice man!!! What type of meter are you using?
EXOcontralto I honestly have no idea. I did a 136.3 3 weeks ago on this crappy single xplod 12 and an olddddd Optimus 300w amp. bought lost my bowels over that number. where do you live in nc?
EXOcontralto but that 136 was sealed, on the dash in the lanes.
Song at 13:32?
Good job Bruce. that alt is kind of weak there, hopefully it never damages the amp. what is the sub wired toΩ?
DVC 2ohm @ 1ohm
