💡THINGS COVERED💡
1: Filling Scew Holes
In order for a ultra smooth finish, each screw hole from building the steel cage and sub box needed to be filled up solid. 2 passes with a light swipe first, then a heavy 2nd mound ensured a good even fill.
2: Sanding Filler
Removing excess filler material is so much easier with power tools. A simple orbital sander removed and cut thru all the extra wood filler like butter. This took a lot of elbow grease!
3: Testing CLEAR TUBE For Trapped Air
After deadening the baffle bracing with sika flex self leveling sealant, many viewers commented how there may be trapped air inside the steel pipe. So to test this theory, I took a clear tube and replicated a mini sized model. To my surprise, the hollow tubing accepted every bit of the sealant. No leaks, no air bubbles. Great overall results!
4: QUICK BASS DEMO w/ Dylan Estes
While finishing all the annoying sanding, I hop inside a fellow Bassheads car audio system with a sick 6th Order Bandpass setup. During the bass demo, make sure to inspect the camera exposure for any blow outs! Love me some loud tho 👌
5: Painting Baffle Braces & Angle Iron
This part was really hard! Hitting all the precious wood with overspray was my biggest nightmare... So a BUTTLOAD of masking tape was put down. The angle iron, tubes, brackets, baseplates, screw heads EVERYTHING needed to be covered and protect from the spray.
5: Priming Subwoofer Enclosure
Can't go wrong with Kilz primer, baby! Never had any problems using it. 2 coats rolled on heavy duty & and thick, that way all the stains stay blocked and hidden under the enclosure.
6: Painting Sub Enclsoure
Went with a industrial looking gloss gray for the color. That way the subs will be white, the enclosures will be gray, and the metal will be black. All different shades of the same color essentially.
AND THAT'S THAT!!! 😎

A little "give" helps a woofer out sometimes. You're gonna need some durable ones. That's the problem with building things correctly, it'll show you the weakest links. Ironically you're subs will be it. I suspect a lot of woofer abuse incoming lol.

Hey EXO, I haven't had a chance to watch this video yet but there is something that I really want to say to you. Your Ion build along with all your other builds have kind of given me blueprints if you will to continue with my build that I am working on right now. And I really want to say thank you for everything that you have done because the way you go about explaining things and your sense of humor really resonates perfectly with me and obviously a lot of other people as well. So from me and I'm sure every other viewer of your channel thank you very much!

I found a tiny kitten at my work, extremely sick, so we fed him, game him meds in the food, worked with him so we could scruff him and give him meds for the ear mites. We called him beetle juice since that's what he looked like at first with his hair all messed up, and blood stained face. After we got him used to us, we opened the shop door and put the food bowl inside. He's been an indoor cat since and part of the other 2 we rescued as well. I tried adopting him out, but he's so adorable and reminds me of our kids, just talkative and wants to play with toys all the time. So I can't let him go. But it turns out he has Feline Leukemia. So he's a sickly kid, always in the vets, but we have a son that was a sickly kid making him even more like park of the family. So thousands later this super good looking little guy is my little buddy always at my side. Great job on the build as well. I'm getting anxious to hear it

Best wood paint I've worked with professionally (in sweden) is Pinja Protect GM, with enough airflow you can more or less walk on it after 6 hours, would cut the dry time of each layer down to like a day with a more realistic small single fan placed in one of the subwoofer holes.

So here's a thought for the white vs camera issue. I have a home theater setup where I use my wall for my screen and after spending a lot of time trying to figure out what to do about the glare and washout I finally found a remedy. I used my regular neutral gray but after I did a 50/50 coat of satin clear and paint to give the finish a translucent later for the ambient light to get trapped in. It does work on all colors and is super effective. Good luck and keep up the amazing job on this build.

Man it's lookin good. Glad to hear the supports filled properly. As for the white don't go with a bright white go for something slightly darker and going for a matte paint will help with blowout as it won't reflect as much. Semi gloss and gloss are respectively more reflective. Could also do it accent wall style and color match a wall to the subs if the branding has a specific color scheme.
