Get you some 1/4inch spiral flush trim bits. They are hands down the best. The big ones you are use work good but the bearings don't like them speeds

That's the first thing I noticed also lol.

Flush trim bits are not meant for cutting through wood, they’re designed to trim. I learned that the hard way myself. The bearing on my Bosch bit seized up, luckily it didn’t explode so I didn’t damage my project. Bought a replacement and haven’t had a problem since, it’s been several years now

Looks like your flush trim bit might be burned up and creating way more heat than a sharp bit and overheating the bearing. Also you had the depth alittle shallow on the outside in a cpl of shots that might have hurt the first one but that many failing is crazy.

The sound told me and then him adjusting the speed showed me it was spinning too fast.

As a carpenter i can tell you how funny it is to see him using the router like that , you have to do it gradually not once :) but you have good videos anyway ,thats why i subscribed years ago.

More then anything. The best part of this is to see EXO has made yet another life long friend in Remy. Great to see you two work together outside the job. Car audio building friendships is such a great thing!

This is why I love watching these videos. Just some friends do a fun project! I'd hang out with these guys and have a fun time doing it.

The trimmer is only meant to trim a tiny amount, make sure u cut with jigsaw as close to line as u can then use trimmer......the amount of heat and vibration is far to much work for the bearing cutter.........everyone has done the same m8

The biggest problem was actually that the bit wasn't deep enough. If you look at the very first trim he did on the baffle overhang there was a thin piece of wood left all the way around the perimeter of the box that he had to sand off. That was wedging between the bearing and the bit causing lateral force which radial bearings can not handle. It is still a good idea to trim smaller amounts and don't use it for cutting, but that would not cause 5 or 6 bearing failures with that amount of cutting. he needs to drop the bit a little or get a longer flush trim bit if that isn't possible.

EXO just is such a natural genuine person especially when he's working, he's a funny, genuine, funny, unique, joyful guy. You can't really find that nowadays..

Exo! Huge tip for carpeting, I ran a sub box business and carpeting seams was the hardest for sure. My biggest trick though, was having a can of black spray paint! Spray along where you are going to lay the carpet before gluing, and even if there is gaps, it will black to match the carpet and not look as bad. Hope this helps!

spraypainting the inside of the port black will make the box look better

@JasonWW2000

Once the carpets on, brush that black paint on! Lol

pro tip. use smaler flush trim tool if going full cut like in 39:20 that big of a tool create a lot of friction and a lot of heat. and that bit you use is shot :P

@JasonWW2000

Yes, good points.

The drill press idea can work if you use the correct bit, the one you used had a screw tip to help the spade pull through 2x material. Use a holesaw bit

Those router bits are DULL AF! Time for a new set bro!

I’ve been doing my best just got over one of the hardest times of my life, found out I had stage 3 squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck aka head and neck cancer in 2021 and finally beat it last year, 7 rounds of chemo and 35 rounds of radiation, took a toll on my body but I am doing my best to get back up to where I was.

damn EXO just suggested giving the box the ol HAWK TUAH 😂🤣 40:26

Watched the whole vid, super interesting to see the whole process. I built my first box with my friends dad who builds cabinets and has no idea about car audio. Just followed manufacture’s a sketch up diagram and turned out great. Getting ready to build a bigger better box now so it’s nice to see the whole process from someone who knows how to do it correctly

Man, happy 4th buddy. Your positive energy is contagious. I really needed it today.

This was great to watch, I'm very new to car audio anything and trying to learn all that I can. I love that you leave the mistakes in. I actually gained something watching this and this channel has been great to watch the last few days.

Hey EXO! Love your vids. Just a friendly suggestion, you may need to look into sharpening your flush trim bit. If you see smoke when cutting its a dull blade, that's why you see the dark spots on the plywood. Edit: I posted this right before the bearing blew up. The heat from dull blades can destroy the bearing. That's likely why it's blew up on you.

You gotta love the videos like this one thing after another going wrong with the build but still managed to pull out a good box and vid 👌🏻

Love the content! Look forward to more of the megabuild with the 12 18s!

Huge love that you make videos for beginners. I've been messing around for years, but I almost always learn something when I see your vids. Keep it up, bro.

I came to these comments to say “stop asking for a DEAL” you guys see what this took and how mad someone can get. Not everything is easy. Nice video kool ppl ima subscribe

Heck yea exo! Always puts a smile on my face watching these. All the little behind the scene clips of you commentating over the router bearing issues. I just finished my 1989 Honda civics stereo with two psi platform 3 12s. All the bells and whistles, high power, carbon fiber, larger terminals, high roll surround, and the red f*ck it logo. Definitely the loudest or one of the loudest around southeast Idaho!

Happy 4th Exo & Remy . Cool box build 😎 One of things that's great about your channel , is you show mistakes and then explained what happened. You're honesty and good energy are always appreciated bud ! ! ! Bass On 💪😇👍

Appreciate the effort you put into editing these videos and the content... Stay strong bro 💪🏻🔥

I’m done with carpet. I texture my boxes now. Looks a lot better than carpet

Sweet build, guys!!! What a Blast!!! That thing was pounding for 1!! I can't wait to see the db test.

I love build video’s. They are so satisfying to watch!

Happy 4th!!!! EXO weuuu! 😊

Thanks for coming in clutch with an awesome full length video. Glad to see Remy. Two down to earth bassheads bonding over bass I love it!

The Solox has surpassed all my expectations I absolutely love it. Great video bro💯👍

Same wood I built my wall with!! It’s been very good to me. Sturdy and easy to work with. And not very heavy.

EXO and REM make a great 👍 team frfr... EXO mental health at home is kinda degrading and subs n box builds is his Savior 😊... I'm with you 😎💯 brotha

What a great instructional video. I will be coming back to this in the future. Glad to see Norfleet is looking good. Love ya EXO❤

You should've ran the router around the port opening with a 3/4" round over bit. It looks better that way and it also reduces port noise. You can still do with the carpet on it if it's glued down tight or just trim it back a bit

For something like that sub opening, I'd use a spiral bit with a few bearings on it. 12vtools sells one with 2 bearings and one with 4 or 5. A normal flush trim isn't really meant to cut through wood like that. Might have been contributing to the auto-speed-changine router.

Bass is an amazing thing. Good job exo.

Dude, when Remy was talking about shooting yourself with the brad nailer. I remember my boss passing out when I shot myself in the hand with a framing nailer. So funny.

I love how you said you just left Home Depot with Lowe's in the background. That is awesome to me and then I love the slam on the store not having someone there to cut the boards for you with the next shot was of you doing it yourself in the parking lot. I have enjoyed your content since you built Little Blue but this video made my day. To beat all it was an hour long as well!!! Thanks EXO for making my day special!!! You are great and I wish the best for you!!! I will be patiently waiting for your next video!!!

Hell yea!! Taking it back to the roots. Simple box build.

Happy 4th to you as well EXO! Great video! Always used to love when helping a buddy do a system, super fun!!

The edge where you bit off too much wood can be filled with either body filler or fiberglass filler and then flush trimmed again. You'd never see it under the carpet.

Nice nice. Thanks for the video. I got an old school Kicker Solo X 18. I’m tuned too 33 hertz. Using a Jp 2300 amp slamming on the Lows and Highs. Love it! Gave me some ideas thanks for the video!

Im building a steel framed parallel tuned 6th order bandpass blowthrough and you are my biggest inspiration to tear out my perfectly dialed in ported setup for something more interesting. Me and my gf been watching sience franky

good to see ya getting back to your roots EXO and hooking up a homie in the process doesn't get any better than that.

switch to spiral flush trim bits. Up/down spiral bits work best for thick baltic birch. Cuts right through it. Those regular flush trim bits sometimes won't last through 2 minutes of trimming.

I just got an old L7 and needed a box and poof your video popped up nice to see a video on my feed again was thinking about you the other day see ya still having fun. Glad to see brother

Love seeing everything doin' the WIBBLE!! 😵‍💫👍

I had that same kicker set up pulled out the kickers and threw in 2 skar sdrs and that box is literally perfect for them

Hey man, instead of a spade bit I'd recommend using a hole saw to get those radius' on the dowel :) Love your videos man, you do sometimes make me feel like you are the "Blippi" for car audio enthusiasts and I love that 😂

That's a sexy box and an area like the port that's exposed if you take a lighter real quick and go around the cut edge it cleans up stragglers quite well

Once that speaker breaks in get bigger amp and throw some power at that beast💪

love your vids EXO

Love Blonde Wood. Used it for years, and just looks great as well.

Hellyeah some exo backflip action! 😮

I'm getting more and more closer to having all of my pieces of the puzzle for my 3rd and last final rebuild up project

so awesome. Big fan of all your videos..

Have had my feud and diablo flush trim bits for years and even lent them out never had a bearing come off mid cut also a larger plate on bottom of router helps keep it straight to material alot keep it up

My goodness that bass was bumpin. Now I’m sure my system is below par with 2x12s and bags of power. Guess it’s time for a custom made box for me! Awesome 😊

Great content xo.. glad had some good o tennessee guys on here

You're the best EXO. Enjoyed every minute.

OMG an hour of EXO... We are living good today boyz!!!

Wouldn't be a exo video without some chaos

Lot of fun watching this!

Nice job bro I get excited when I get a notification that u posted a video n can't wait till I get off work to watch it wish I had someone like u to help me with the dimensions n help build a box

Nice and yeah that Kicker Solo X is nice.

The results are amazing 💪🏾🔥

Wow that is amazing!

classic EXO content right here!!!!

Good job on that custom bass box. I like it!👍👍👍👍👍

Nice video bro love the longer video btw...

Exo You have a very wonderful, funny and humble friend. You guys are awesome and good job bro 👍

have learned so much...confident enough to build my own one...thanks man😊

Gosh darn it. Use genuine name brand bearings for your router bits. NSK, NMB, maybe even Timken, INA, SKF and others. Save you from some pain. All in all it bangs! Hell yeah brother!!!

EXO, you've got a nice little setup with your shop, I'm jealous! Anyways another great video bud. I really hope to meet you 1 of these days because I've learnt allot from you and your channel. Keep it up bro.

Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭

Remy's next box will be a carpet mosaic finish. 😀 Great build guys! You really showed that it's about the culture and experience.

man !!! i love youre vids ! super humble audio channel brother 😅

Sick man! Great job!

I love watching exo

Sorry EXO! Ive been putting off watching the cideo because i havent had an hour to sit down and watch it! Cant wait to see more progress on the big build!

2:15 In a million years, I would have never thought to do that.

Predrilling prevents the screws from following imperfections. Sure you saved a little time but at the expense of the boards integrity! Keep up the fun!

Truth be told Home Depot probably owns Lowes! Thanks for another sweet video! Happy 4th brother!

Sounds great man

Great video man I am always impressed by your wealth of knowledge

Little help with drilling straight holes as well. Milescraft makes a handheld drill guide (drill block) for like $8.. will definitely help out
