Making MY SUBWOOFERS EVEN BETTER!!! Custom 18" SUB Upgrade w/ THE BEST Hardware & Nice NEW Paint Job
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Time to make these subwoofers truly ONE OF A KIND! Well... 12 of a kind! Today, we finish up the basic skeletons for the subs, which are now gloss white with matching backplates. Let's get the hard parts fully assembled while we prepare for the soft parts next... RECONES!!! Thanks for watching and subscribing :)

Step 1: Remove stuck-on debris
- the gap for the voice coil loves to collect small bits of debris and metal shavings. We'll need to carefully clean the inside to avoid any problems.
Step 2: Remove rust and recoat
- the backplates of each motor have also started to oxidize. We'll need to sand off all that, and scuff up the surface for new coating.
Step 3: Upgrading old hardware
- the motors were originally held on by 6 soft metal Philips heads. We'll upgrade to grade 8 hex heads, and replace the back bolts with black for good measure.
Step 4: Painting the back plates
- the extra touch of adding gloss white paint to the frames and backplates will help the subs POP out more on when making bass videos
Step 4: Reattach motor & basket
- each sub needs to be reassembled with threadlocker and glue, so we'll tighten everything down before adding new recones.
Now these woofers are EVEN MORE RARE!
Custom touches all over the place :)

I like your wet paper towel trick to keep dust out of the holes. In a pinch, I've used the disposable ear plugs to seal up threaded holes so I could paint without worry. I had the opportunity to help out with powder coating a few things once and they used something similar.
honestly love watching these videos. you give alot of great tips for rebuilds, stuff i wouldnt have thought to do. i also have to do a recone and going to apply these ideas to my sub. thanks for doing what you do
Those look amazing man, loving the progress and I can’t wait to see this build once it’s done :)
Patiently waiting for more footage!!!! Hope all is well EXO!
I love this project and you explained everything.
8:05 when your old ass lawnmower starts up after you tried to start 10 years ago and you go AHHHHHH
Looks great, can't wait to see it done.
hi EXO you are a genius when i watched you blow them speakers i never imagined this as a outcome very nice. Hearing those subs before there gona sound as good as they look sharp as a razor. Wow how time time flies by.
Glad to see you went with the Ceramic paint protection like I and sure others suggested. Will help with any other mishaps and bug removal from driving to shows.
Looks amazing EXO. Love the energy in all the vids. Still my favorite youtuber
This is why it’s so easy to like Exo. He such a positive, down to Earth DIYer
man exo, i gotta say im super excited for this build... rebuilding those older subs was a genius idea... definitely show us the recone process... i have a gut feeling this system will be legendary lol... 🤷
Theres nothing more satisfying then working on subs. Thats why i love my m3 mojo's so much they literally unbolt and break down so easy.
Finally the story goes on :) Thanks for sharing EXO!
Video quality on this one was next level! Thanks Exo!!

Thanks EXO you're an inspiration you are the man can't wait for the next video

Cool vid, EXO!! The man with the Bass!
Been watching the channel for years , excited about the build, reminds me of the fun i used to have with car audio
Brother dont use wd40 on the boots! Its petroleum based so after a while it will eat away at the rubber. Use silicon spray it works great and it's safe for rubber. Keep the builds comin! Awesome vids!
I appreciate all the time you put in to make these videos and all the information I keep learning from you. Thanks alot EXO!! I wish I was a neighbour and not in Australia.. cool videos..!!
Keep up the good work EXO.
What I found to be a good way of blocking up holes to prevent any deposits getting in them is disposable ear plugs (the memory foam type) as they can be squeeze into holes and then they expand to seal the hole.
Awesome work, man! It is so satisfying to DIY things that are part of a passion. :)
I do gotta say. I love your content my friend. Your videos are what really got me into the bass world and my love for it! Keep up the great work man. 💪
I'm digging the colors. Nice job.
Men u teach me so much about speaker repairs, i feel confident to start repair my own
Loving the progress keep it up man they look great
Loving the white and black two tone! White and black are my to go to when painting or when i have a chance to choose a color for something. Can't wait to see them after the cones are in!!! XD
Subs are coming out beautiful EXO 🤩
Hey EXO. I used your discount code at showtime electronics for a SMD DD-1. And it came a day earlier than expected. Will definatly use again.
Your video's are so much fun to watch dude! The audio, editing, and filming is quality. I also relate to you and think you're so cool man! Thank you for giving me entertaining car audio content, and keep up the good work. Can't wait to see how the build turns out.
Always love your positivity bro! Keep up the good work!
Looking great man as always.. cant wait to see it done..
Looking forward to seeing them all done!
Bro I love the color scheme and the black accents are perfect. It’s all in the detail
i started watching u back in the day when u put the sign up in front of your house trying to get people to by with bass or your van with 1 18 in it man the days!
Bro blowing the subs blew my mind! Thank you for opening my eyes to the custom built subs.
I love your audio builds. Keep it up ill be sure it wil look very nice :D
Man, it’s awesome to see the old girls getting a refresh. XXX slappers are gonna do the do for sure.
Pulling out that voice coil was honestly, very satisfying. Good show EXO
I'm exited with you Exo!
Those speakers were put together with clear loctite from the factory. Blue loctite will melt at the temps you will push rendering it useless. The parts will jiggle but the bolts will be tight.
All your custom work looks fun!
14:46 when you start do something and after first second you already know... it was bad idea and you cant ga back.🤣🤣
I smoked my SCAR Audio 12's DVC 2 Ohm. I got an oscilloscope and adjusted my gain correctly and turned off bass boost. Kind of a blessing as now I have my 2x 12" Sundown SDL DVC 4 Ohms running are there own 500w Alpine mono amp @ 2ohms per sub, These speakers sound better and hit so much harder. I wanted a smaller sealed box for my daily driver to get my trunk space back. I've learned a lot from your channel. Thanks.

How'd you blow yours? I've got two Skar 12's right now ready for an install. together they'll be 2,500RMS @ 1ohm off the Skar 2000.1 but i'm a bit skeptical, any advice on how not to blow mine up during their trial?
those subs are looking sweet with some leds in background that look amazing
yes he uploaded again. and in my birthday!!!!!! love the vids
Looking better then new, good work!
Looking great Exo 👍

Lubię to jak się tym podniecasz. Kochasz to co robisz i to najważniejsze.
Great turn out on the paint job, looks really good bud! For sure shows that you don't need any fancy spray guns to get a great finish! The Van looks flawless as well! Thanks for the video and walk thru EXO, great detail in all you do!
EXO, you gotta tape 20x20 hvac air filters to the backs of those box fans. It wont catch everything but makes a hell of a difference. I've been spraying for 20 years trust me try it out. Just get a multi pack of the cheap blue fiberglass joints
when you're storing speaker drivers cover them in cling film to keep the dust and debris out believe me it will save you a huge hassle and a headache down the road
That was a really good video man loved it. Worse things I've done in car audio hooking up amps backwards!!! And dropping RCA's on batteries!!!
So fireeeee love seeing it exo keep it up playa
I just want to say ive been watching you for now 4 years and your editing keeps getting better man keep up the good work
You should open up the flaps of the cardboard box, get a cheap HVAC Duct filter about the same size of the box opening to extract through. Have the box fan sitting behind that pulling air out of the box and through/into the filter. Without something for the overspray to really stick to it's just going to flow around your garage and land on anything else it can stick to.
Absolutely loving every video right now ! Keep up the great work Bruce 👍
Uh oh.. It's starting to look good... Strenuous process to say the least!!! Dope vid bro!!
keep up the good work brother, i enjoy watching your videos :)

AC 205 Stop Leak rejuvenates + adds life 2 rubber... Lil tip from a custom stereo installer from Wisconsin. Back in the dayz.... Nothing like popping down your back passenger seat and having your amp without wires showing able 2 be adjusted from the driver seat. 😉
they look amazing!
I love that you didn't edit the arm smash. I was laughing so hard🤣🤣 but awesome job on the build so far👍👍👍👍
Holly shit I just stumbled on your channel I remember 10 years ago when I followed you before you even started that van build damn time flies good to see your still passionate about your hobby
nice video bro, gives me motivation to finish my projects.
