Bassheads Unite 2025
Didn't know there was a second channel until today and I've been here for YEARS
I've been following both you and Steve for well over a decade now and love how you both are constantly progressing. And keeping the passion alive for the rest of us bassheads. Thank you.
Completely different personalities between Steve and Bruce. Steve's okay, though.
As much as you call us quality viewers, remember man.... You provide quality content for us, and we love you man. Thank you for these videos and we love the bass van. Ty for your hard work brother!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’ve missed these kinds of videos on the second channel. Thanks for the years of content exo. Sorry about your friend.
never be afraid to be yourself, you be you!
My man, i would never let go of either of your channels. To me you are the driver for my passion, and i could tell you, for me you are a mgician, always smiling and uplifting, all the way back from the "woody" wan. I would never stop watching. I hold you dear to my heart. Even after i got multiple illnesses i keep going, just because you have showed me that you can. Man you are my light. Keep them thunders rolling. 👍😊👍💯
You're never lonely my dude, us audio folk are all connected with good vibrations 🎶🎵
Just found your channel today!
So glad to see one of our fellow neuro spicy people out there doing their joyful thing ✌️
Bro I’m 1 state away. Been watching you since the minivan over a decade ago. HMU whenever. Your not alone brother
06:50 I know you're not cuttin yourself short right now!!!! LiL Hoss, you're a gawd damn genius, from conception to execution........you did that!!!! 👏👏👏Absolutely amazing build!!!
Been watching you for many years. Can't believe it's gone by this fast
Thank you for everything thing you have done. Just from watching your channel has made me and my boys so much closer. They love car audio now and I have always loved car audio sense the late 80’s
I forgot bout this channel for a bit til I found it again last month. Even though it had a sad comeback, I got a lot of respect for one that admit something instead of hiding it. Takes a lot to bring out the feelings and rememberence of a good friend that was there sleeping on one of your subwoofers for such an awesome build you done here, it definitely got to me a bit too. I remember when I saw your build still a work in progress back in October 2023 when I lived out in Tennesse back when I had just an L7 and random JL subwoofer in my TrailBlazer, took the time to check it out in it’s current state, best part was your reaction to my car charger that I still have today lmaoo. I managed to get my hands on 2 skar audio 18’s for now and for what I got, it’s definitely starting to turn some heads, but it’s only the start. Debating if I should put 2 more in or go with your idea of 2 Solo X 15’s as I do got the room for it. I got quite a bit more planned for my build as this year goes on, and can’t thank you enough for being one of the early pioneers in the car audio community sharing these videos that inspired me to get into speakers and car audio back in around 2011 when I first discovered TH-cam. We all have our ups and downs in life, I been fixing tech for the longest and recently decided to put all that boring stuff away and focus what I used to be into as a kid. Used to watch videos wishing to be at the shows, in the car with my mom instantly turning my head looking for that car with the loud bass to see the mirrors shaking, imagining myself back in grade school in my future car with everything shaking all around me to my music, throwing an old sony subwoofer in my moms oldsmobile connecting it to the back speakers enjoying the bass that came outta that little thing, with you being part of my inspiration to do some random audio and speaker related thing in the middle of the day and still do to this day with my MechaBlazer, just trying to find the little things I can improve with what I got and what I can find from my old equipment I collected from all these years, utilizing what I got just by watching one of your videos. Definitely had quite a journey and still going with it. Really looking forward to have a good demo of the behemoth hopefully this year in it’s complete form that it’s in by the day that happens. Keep strong and bassin’ on Bruce! 🔥🦔
Had to come back to this comment and let you know it really affected. Your words kept popping into my head several times after reading and it means so much to share something meaningful with you. Thank you so much for saying that 🙏🙂
We the people, who watch these videos appreciate what you do out for our entertainment. The entire series is awesome I wish i knew ya, I wish i could even hear a build that loud.
If i lived closer I'd gladly come give u all the help you.need. Keep your head up.. you got this. Loving the bass machine!
Mad respect to all the bassheads that do crazy builds in their garages!!
Keep slammin!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Never going anywhere bro. In a rough patch right now myself so I know the ups and down of life well!
Stay positive, stay blessed, never stressed.
Let's keep our heads held high together! Much love from me man you've always been here and that means a lot
Do what you do man we be here
I watch a lot of your videos to get ideas for stuff that I'm working on
The man the myth the legend who inspired me to go on my own bass journey is back. Man 2025 is shaping up to be alright. Great to see you still kicking and making kick ass (albiet way out of my understanding) setups EXO!
Just spoke with crescendo yesterday they will have the Neo speakers back in stock late next month
Whoa, seriously!?!? That's news to me, awesome 😁
Happy to see you happy!!
Been wacthing since you blasted the 15"s at your grumpy neighbor in his driveway lol
we all here for you I’m alone every day but keep on keeping on 😊
Hey Bruce, you are my inspiration and my motivation man, we have SO much in common it’s nuts. Incase you are wondering, Saco has not gone quiet over here, cops be getting called from me LOL. I myself am doing a big build all by myself, 8 15s and it can be a LOT to handle and lonely in the garage, completely get it, there was a month or 2 where I had a huge unmotivated side of me take over but I looked at my build and said I didn’t come all this way to stop here and I remembered why I started this build, I built it for the people, not myself, and people’s smiles brings joy to me. This hobby is about us bassheads having fun and supporting each other and I want to let you know I’ll forever support you!
Looks fantastic. Multiple alternators will help. Would really love to see your dash modded to match your doors & enclosure. Thanks for doing what you do, keeping me entertained over the years. ❤
Hi Bruce.
I Love your channels, it's exciting to see an EXO Video pop up.
Every single Time 😊
You are Doing Life one day at a time,
& that's how we all make it to the Finish line.. 😊
I love those Incriminator amps. ❤
THIS CHANNEL IS BACK ALIVE?? I seen that notification and was put back by it because you haven’t posted in years man! Glad to see your still doing good. Your videos helped me out a TON with figuring out my setup.
Right 😂
Going back to the basics! Just having fun with no real pressure like can happen with my main channel @EXOcontralto 😎
and im very sorry for your loss man i know exactly how that feels
I've been playing with car and home audio since I was 10 years old I'm 43 now and I won't drop either one of your channels. I don't know how long I've been watching you but I think it was back when you was still living in Maine. I'm from Northern Maine myself so it's nice to see a home and car audio content creator from my state. I also enjoy seeing your RC videos.
Cheers to a fellow Northerer. Glad you are here man. Hope you are staying warm up there even though it seems TN has been even colder lately lol 😅 Appreciate you commenting!!!
@@EXOabigdeal I appreciate you through all the years You're my favorite content creator
It’s Bryan from east Va. a long time fan since your first build. I was very happy to see you do every part of the van build because it shows just what you’re made of when it comes to diligence hard long hours & being good at not needing instant gratification.
I used to be like that as a 1man business but now I’m twice as old as you & taking decades to save up to buy components.
Too bad I seem to need a better ride for a better build.
So keep on going what you’re doing coz your quite an inspiration to so many like me.
I saw you fix the back sub in the back of the black van. Be glad you’re able to thrive in this sport while you’re still young coz you would never have been able to get through the rear port if you weren’t.
Appreciate the comment man. Very true sometimes that's all it takes!!! Glad to have you one the channel 🙏
I’d been thinking about you looking for the new video to drop. Glad you’re doing well man keep the bass coming.
8:23 I'm here brother from the beginning of everything, I'm lonely but your viedoes make me alive. Thank you.
Much love, respect and appreciation for you brother
You are not alone we are watching you all the time we are there with you
I remember when I was a kid my dad had a 15 in his dodge neon and I was hooked. I wanted to learn more about bass and car audio and I found you when you had your old wood panel van and the expedition. You opened up the world of bass for me! Keep doing you man youre awesome and mean more to us than you know!!!
It's baaaaack!! Right on mane!!!
Dude, you are an inspiration, you got me into car audio way back when you built Frankenstein. You keep me into the car audio realm. As I don’t have funding to do a big build. Thank you for everything you do and I hope the best for you. I one day wish to see that behemoth build in person.
Been here since the beginning. From the 3 12"s in the Chrysler mini van to the 12 18"s in the Behemoth. so like 15+ years maybe. also My condolences to you and Elise about your recent lost of a fur baby. I have all the animals ashes that ive had in the past and all were a very difficult hurdle. I understand the connection, because my cat DC she was a black cat, very intelligent, very sweet, and she knew body language, as weird as that sounds, thats how we communicated alot. My boy chin up, bass on.
I've been here when you were building Frankenstein. Love the videos bro keep going. We support you whatever. ❤❤
Almost 2 decades here running strong brotha!! Henrylovesweed here!!!!!
What's up man!!!! Been seeing your comments lately and it makes me feel like the good old days back when you had your other screen name. We go way back! Thanks for still being here, we should plan to attend the same show sometime this summer 🔊👍
Still here 😊
Heck yea exo! Love the content on both the channels! Been here for a long time, and have always loved everything. From the skate boarding to the backflip lessons, to the epic bass sessions, it’s all been an amazing rollercoaster, and can’t wait to see what’s next!
Love your channel me and my 10 year old daughter have been watching you for quite some time her favorite episodes when you blow up all your 18 inch woofers in your room before refurbished them she still laughs when she watches it keep up the good work bro
Them chest pains though lol, I feel your pain. Literally! Nice update exo
For years, I've been subscribed on your main account and today, I add this channel on my subscriptions. Why? I love it. That's why. I'm a bass head and that explains it.
NGL i didn't know this channel existed until this vid popped up!
Awesome as usual dude! I would absolutely love a more in depth video about the signal side of your install. You've always done an amazing job at describing and animating your explanations. Literally feels like I'm in class and I love it!
Bro I learned how to do a Big 3 and Gain Match Amp to Subs because of your early vids. Stay blessed 🙏🏻
BRO YOUR CONTENT IS ALWAYS GOOD 👍🏾 AND YOU ARE WELL DESERVED IF YOU NEED A BREAK FROM THE HARD WORK YOU HAVE DONE. 🎉🎉🙏🏾💪🏾🇺🇲👍🏾💯✌🏾
I been following since you had the Orion subs in the caravan. Hey man I'll never let you but I know you are a good dude and sending nothing but prayers and good vibes your way.
yea man ive been subbed to both your channels for like 15 years, but you know that. lookin forward to the continuing awesomeness from your channels, and looking forward to seeing you again this summer in Missouri!

man we appreciate you big dog!! big time!!
Talk to Jon Hart at Audio Ace and he might be able to sponsor your door speakers. He has very nice midrange speakers and also his Audio Ace 21" subwoofer with a 5" coil can handle 6krms watts! You could see if he can send you some 18" subwoofers to test out. He can color coat his subwoofer in any color!
Ben following you for years bro you are a legend!!!!! Thanks for the video's xo !!!!!!
Bruce, u must be thinking about the Pride speakers, the Deaf Bonce apocalypse are extremly loud. Thought u should know. Peace
Ciare speakers 😁 But those are screamers as well
Been watching ya since blue. The van is a beast!!!
Loved the videos from lil blue back in the day !!!!
Stay bassing my brother... I've been following you for a long time watched your progress with the best van finally it's done congratulation my bro job well done. and I'm gonna stick around till the next Project
Hey brother keep ur head up remember we got ur back keep up the work
Sorry for the lost. Nice you are using your second channel now. :)
I've been following you since the expedition build and always love your videos. I would love to hear the van in person but I live in the midwest and would probably never meet you!
❤🥰 He gets me
Iv been following for years man keep up the awesome work 🤙
You've come a long ways. And I also struggle with depression. So I underatand. Shit we use to talk on the phone way back in the day. I don't know what happened. You gave your phone to your sister and got a new one.
So BRUTAL!!! ICON.
I haven't even noticed these recent 2 videos were on a different channel. I must have been subscribed dating back a long time.
Love ya EXO
I say this out of amazement, but damn! Watching from conception I kinda forgot you were running a single alt! Running a 390a on my 7000 watts, ofc room for upgrading.. but damn haha! I love and respect the work you have put in! Keep it up!
Been here since I got my first car and first smartphone with TH-cam on it with the van and 2 18s in 2009
bass is a lifestyle that chooses us we don't choose it
Keep on bassin
We love you brother! We're not going anywhere
We love ya EXO
great build man all the way through
Yes!!!!!!! I just ordered another XS Power battery the D4800 for my engine bay, already running another XS Power battery in the boot which is an S3700 running my two 12" inch 4000W subs :D
EXO, I blame you for me spending 50 grand this last year. Im building something very special that I think will impress even you. See you this summer somewhere hopefully.
You got this!
Exo!
My man!!! Glad to see you here 🙏
We love you Bruce aka exo
Exo. It's never fun having to hold the gas while demoing. Let's not forget about the old van 🤔🤫😂. Love you bro, thanks for the many, many years of content!
No, thank YOU! Bass and audio is one of the very few things that keeps me going. I got nobody around to talk much with, don't want to impose on friends and overall, the place where I am is depressing for those who has passions.
I'm wondering on the RPM controller, if you can use the A/C compressor idle kick-up to do it for your alternators (in case you don't have access to a controller) and some ECU changes could do it as well. Looking forward to seeing dual alts in action! And as always, you can put a smaller pulley...
Mega love Bruce! Xx
Love the videos exo !! Glad this channel is getting content again. Any plans with the dually ?
Always enjoy your video's
That bass demo looked painful 😵💫
as i stated i been watching u since the dodge with the orion 12s in the van in the drive way ... cant wait to meet u!! i want to come to a bass comp in the us at some point
Thats awesome bro i would love to see your dsp setup!
Super interested in the DSP setup video! Please do that.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
0:07 My truck has high idle but that's just for when you're sitting idling a long time in a diesel and you don't get the cylinder wash. But it is handy to have
Can you please come to made of steel in may im dying to hear this I have been following you since the van its been a while for sure.
Always looks like a blast and I've been meaning to hit that show. Do you remember the dates?
@ may 16 to the 18th
I was hopeful you would be announcing you are upping your wattage and going with 1X8.1’s 🤯
When I lost my dog, I was absolutely crushed. Wife and I still get upset talking about him and it's been 4 years! It does it easier with time. Slowly, but it does. Try to keep your head up and give extra love to your pets.
