[12233445532523682346]

hey exo, just a quick question.

so i live in canada, and it was -20 today, and my subs were working this morning

then i changed my alternator, and my power cable came loose from my amp somehow after that, and i put it back in securely, but now my amp doesnt turn on? im not sure if its from me taking my negative off my battery and putting it back on, and my fuses are fine? any ideas?

[EXOcontralto]

@BigTwoSevenKills - No, it's not meant to be dropped that low.

[majinboo75]

exo man how much of a ok head unit for my truck hit me back

[EXOcontralto]

@majinboo75 - Depends on what you want to achieve. 

[snubsauce]

[fammguyy202]

Hey exo I was gonna make a vid of me and all of my friends systems all going from pussiest to the most outrageous. So when I get that up would you check it out?

[samstar1412]

I know you got your new wall and everything, but what ever happened to this mayhem 18? did you sell it to help fund your new soundstream gear? Im just curious man, I really enjoy your vids to.

[MrBass2face]

[lmck33]

[pwND001]

@lmck33 DD audio is king. What are you talking about...

[kourptFmx69]

Yer But, know your stereo will sound like its playing through a coke can. u would have lost all your acustics

[blacountry]

Do you still have those caps ?

[187streetsoldier]

hey exo do you think 2 of those orions would be good on 600rms 300 each? because i'm looking to get 2 12's. and i know these knock. i saw what they did to that kids blue suburban! i'm really leaning toward type r's.. any help would be appreciated!

[fireballs69]

where do you get the carpet at



[masongalbraith]

lol at 0:12 chap didley doo

[x82chAOs]

hey man can u hook me up???????

[x82chAOs]

hey EXO i was just wondering what is the amp and subs that i can get for a total of 300$

[morrisonkram]

hey dude i just bought the alpine mrp 1000 amp can i hook my two pioneers up to it .I got the pioneer tsw 3002 d4 or will it blow my amp

[MrFunMan08]

how much you paid for your whole audio setup? im interested in doing the same

[MrFunMan08]

hey how much u paid for your whole audio setup?

[basstube300]

haha i cant believe you had the exact same setup as me except X2. I have the same Alpine mrp-500 amp and the Same Cap! do the caps really help all that much anyway? ive been lookin it up and some say its just a good way to ruin the alternator

[FungryMan]

Hey man, how do you like power acoustik amps? their specs look too good to be true. I need a bang4buck amp for my 2 type R 12's Dual 4. and the bamf4000 seems to be up to spec but still hard to believe at the price.

Awesome vids, keep em coming

[EXOcontralto]

@FungryMan -They are great reliable amps - The 4000's will do appx. 2000 rms

[FungryMan]

@EXOcontralto Thanks, that's all I needed to know, I'm pushing my R's with a sony class D at about 550 and it just isn't quite loud enough.

[oOOjoeriOOo]

@EXOcontralto Your hair looks really cool this short man!

greets from The Netherlands!

[osthyvel100]

im soon getting a fi btl 18 fully loaded and im going to make a vid of me unboxing it

[osthyvel100]

yo exo do you have the capacitators left i want to buy one maybe

[EXOcontralto]

@osthyvel100 - Sorry man, all this stuff sold in a heartbeat.

[osthyvel100]

@EXOcontralto ok my man your my favorite bass head :)

[kenwood1609]

How does that 200 amp alternator hold up with the 18 I know you have extra batteries but does it do good and where did you get it I was looking into a 220 iraggi for my jeep.

[MrLink121]

oh and what does bridging do for you.

[MrLink121]

answer me in my inbox

[MrLink121]

hey what should i do if my lanzar cap keeps poppin off.what type of glue should i use

[RuskiPanda]

what are those things next to the amps??? do you need them

[caveman492]

i do have to say that yer van could have fooled me. =]

i love big vehicles with lots of air space. =]

i am trying to decide between the Orion HCCA 12.4 , orion xtr2, or the orion hp.

which one would you prefer?

my brother has 2 orion xtr2's in a down-firing ported box that slap hella hard that i am thinking about getting, until i seen yer vids. could ya help?

[vm756]

HAHA nice sub it really does look like a btl. different dust cap and ppl will think thats some rich kid haha

[guzbossvid]

can some 1 tell me how to make my subwoofer better with no amp, is there something i can use as a amp?

[sakeebforlife]

Fi, Re and Ascendant Audio all make their subs look the same. is their a reason why they do this?

[DodgeChallengerGuy]

@sakeebforlife  They do it cause they all make beastly subs!!!

[SceneCase]

wow ha ha steel/ aluminum interior accents lmao----if any 1 asks, . nice caps,... future frum this vid,... one orion gets cracked already seen it i would ask u to check out 1 of my cvt kicker but its no match lol

[Mr96ChevySuburban]

how much you sell your system for

[KiCkiZRuStY]

thanks exo ill post a vid and send u a link to tell me what you think!

[KiCkiZRuStY]

some one plz tell me i just bought the mrp 1000 litterally do you think ill get 1000 rms at 2 ohm with all stock electrical

[EXOcontralto]

Hell Yes! - Those amps are hella' stable & very well rated.

[mtnbikecrazy55]

and are all capacitors created equal, or are some better than others. The main reason im doing this is to increase clarity on heavy bass hits as well as trying to save the load off my alternator and car battery a bit. Its a 98 ford Escort wagon by the way. Thanks for your time bro.

[mtnbikecrazy55]

Hey, Cool vids, and its real tight you know steve meade, he sounds like just one badass, super nice guy! His vids are legit too! anyway, why did you take the capacitors out? i was thinking of putting one in my car. Ill be running just one 12" kicker comp 4 ohm sub with a mtx thunder 3401 amp. i was thinking of putting in a .5 farad capasitor that i would find on ebay or something so it wouldnt cost too much. --> continued in next comment.,,,

[rawiristone]

@mtnbikecrazy55 dont really need caps unless your going bigg

[SuperPrettyboi12]

yo u got myspace

[minibanger007]

You must be one happy motherfucker about that 18'' :) Congratz.

[BassJackass]

yuck, you used capacitors? Dry cell batteries are the way to go. Course, you got those liberties now.

[adeljeffrey]

yo!!! hi man!!! thats some serious woofers!!! man you know your stuff!!! will i need some help! you see i got 2 sony xplode speakers matched with 600Watts amplifire and one 12 inch woofer rated 1200W the same sony xplod and this one is matched with 1200 Watts amplifire!!! but the problem is when you crank the sound up its great but then its just stop!!! no sound at all!!! please help me bro!!! i appreciate it.....one of your fans.....

[MrLj410]

i kinda had the same problem,lol i hooked my xplodes to my reciever and at high volums it just cut off completly,so i ran the subs at 4ohms instead of 2ohms and i never had a problem since..

[adeljeffrey]

@MrLj410 thanks man for the help!! but can you tell me how can i ran the subs from 4ohms to 2 ohms? do you mean i should get new subs with 2 ohms resistence?! thanks

[AliBaba7dwarves]

@05brute650 I agree... I'd be tinting the windows on that van, keep eyes out.

[05brute650]

Dude I'm really suprised u never got any of that stuff stolen out of your car yet!

[lieinghonestly]

He lives in Maine......

[05brute650]

Ya I would tint the windows to no matter were u live at cause I would if I had that in my truck or in any of my cars!

[jaymon65]

Ya check out RCtamiya there is ok subs on there

[jaymon65]

Man that sounds sick wish I could here them in person you got some sweet videos

[englshmn]

I'm stuck between buying an AA mayhem 18 or a Incriminator audio Death Penalty 18..

what do you think exo?

[EXOcontralto]

its up to you man

[englshmn]

is there one that you prefer? Like, how many decibels do you hit with your AA?

[MrLj410]

the best sub.. jensen xs bass 12.. a sub that handles a true 4000 rms

[MrLj410]

audiopulse lms 18..

[AmericanAudio1]

Personally.. look into FI BTL 18's.... greattttt sub! even if just 1.. with no extra options, they run about $400 and up ( rough estimate )

[tgrifftgriff]

good job

[barnacle77]

That is TOO funny! No more rattles. Gotta keep the priorities straight! Well done, sir! haha

[Washburnguitar666]

hey where did you get the hell fire 2500.1 amplifier and how much did it cost?

[Washburnguitar666]

Hey man like the sound system u got I am at the moment buying a mrpm 1000 alpine 1000 watt mono block from a car audio place and also buying one of the clarion eqs746. I also notice u had to put a lot of stuff to make it sound awsome got any suggestion for me to buy.

[caraudioman16]

what is the difference between a BTL and mayhem

[100000014]

could be a multitude of differences the (basket) the coil setup, double or single stack magnet.

differences the BTL is rated 2000 rms

and mayhem is rated 2500 rms.

BTL has more strength and mayhem is smoother .

thats about all i can think of

[Joeyrcbmx]

what gage power and ground did you use for those amps????? (the alpines)

also what do you think is a better sub the AA Mayhem 18" or a FI BTL 18"

[EXOcontralto]

0 gauge to 4 gauge

[djfdogg]

@Joeyrcbmx The same guy that builds FI builds AA

[MrLj410]

[CobraProductionsTV]

Arn't 3 orions louder then one 18 inch ?

[EXOcontralto]

Hopefully not - Should be louder with the 18

[CobraProductionsTV]

How does it get louder with one 18.

i think that 3 12 or even 3 10 inch should be louder.but i'm a noobie.

[LucKyJoKeR93]

is it a btl reconed?
