    After upsetting nearly half the internet by BLOWING THESE SUBS... It's time to finally show the world what the grand plan was this whole time 😎
    Today's Trivia Question: 💡
    What's something that's always better to buy brand new, and one thing that's always better to buy used?
    Thanks For Watching, Everyone!!! 🙂

      It’s always better to buy wire brand new and always better to buy a car used

      Well I’d have to say that it is always better to buy some shoes brand new instead of used lol! I mean, who in the world wants to wear your beat up, sweaty, and definitely stanky old shoes! Another thing is I always buy tires brand new. I’ve never understood why people buy used tires. Like they got rid of them for a reason, right?
      P.S. great video. Much love brother! Hopefully see you at slam this year. I wasn’t able to go last year.

    @EXOcontralto I’ve popped in here and there whenever I’m working with my sound systems and I got to say this. I appreciate not only the wealth of knowledge that you share with the community, but how humble you are. You are very thorough in your explanations but also very understanding. Look at this example where you called yourself out by saying “did you notice anything?” While gluing the dust cap. And then moments later actually calling yourself out on film. 100% best all-around audiophile on RUclips to date. You are a rockstar man. Also congrats on the new house! Keep bumpin’ my dude!

    The woofers are also better than new because EXO had their magnets re-zapped on sundown audio's monster magnetizing machine. It really has been a labor of love. He probably has the BEST Soundstream XXX 18s that exist today.

    I love the way you work. It's an art form that so many people don't understand. I was criticized so much when I was younger by my friends because it seemed to take me longer to do engines or whatever but in the end they just looked so much better and cleaner with more details. What funny tho is eventually some of them caught on because I see them use a lot of the tricks they learned from me 😊

    Hey Bruce,
    after I buried my first shim under a dustcap and totally ruined the whole cone while removing the dustcap again, I bought some Plastic foil stuff with the right thickness at a hardware store and made myself shims that are like 12 inches tall.
    Now it’s physically impossible to glue the dustcap in place with the shim still in there.
    Keep up your great work!
    Thank you for all these years off entertainment.

    It’s so crazy when I think about it. This guy was legit my biggest influence back in the day when I was like 18-19 (12 years ago) to get into subs and bass. My time frame could be off but I’m 30 now and came across this page again and all these memories just came rolling back. The nicest most down to earth person ever. I wish one day I could meet him so I can show him my system. Which isn’t anything special at all really 😂. Very cheap Rockford fosgate r1 x 2 and a cheap kenwood amp but it bumps. I’ve probably installed over 60-70 systems in the last 10 years because of this man. Awesome hobby. Keep up the awesome work bro. Love your page ❤️.

    Handy tip, since I goof stuff more than i'd like to admit, like forgetting the shim. Get a shim in NeonPink, or BrightYellow or some super FLASHY colour, so it screams at you visually when applying the cap.
