    A lot of people watch my build video's and other multi-
    video projects but more often than not, they start somewhere
    in the middle of the build and don't catch all the other
    video's that lead up to where they started watching. This
    causes people to ask me questions that were answered or
    addressed in those previous videos. I will be picking my FAVORITE builds of all time and
    combining the entire series to make one giant video for
    each one. This way you can watch it all or skip through
    easily to parts you want to see. To everyone who has
    watched all the video series i post, THANK YOU! more coming soon!

      Hey Steve, I just wanted to let you know you’re a huge inspiration and have been for 10+ years. It started with Car Audio and transitioned to business. From building “Chickens”Escalade, to all of your big and small projects. Love from Michigan. You were one of, if not the first RUclips creators I followed and watched religiously.

    • @meade916
      @meade916  2 года назад +4

      usually anyone who has a Tahoe that is louder than mine is either WALLED or has no back seat. I am not walled. Has all the seats still....and clear view through all the rear windows.

And I agree, them other wheels you had looked really good but them Forgiatos now really tuckin hard. I’m glad you inspired me to love bass and work hard on it. SMD ftw.

    Brother your attention too detail is on a whole another level & truly I love it & I think anyone else who watches your channel does also... especially in a world when it feels like nobody cares about the work they do they just do it and don't care if they cut corners or not and im not about that myself, I've always been type of person that if I'm going too do something I'm going too do so too the best of my abilities and I enjoy the challenge of challenging myself or too do the next job better than one prior as I can see you do also... keep em coming even if it takes me 4+ days too finish the 4 hour long ones I watched it all cause its very interesting too me... God bless brother & keep on slapping...🤘

    I'm in the middle of watching this and iam at the part where you make the steel bracket for the alts ... I reckon a good idea if you haven't thought of it already is to paint the steel a colour of your choice then put the perspex bracket over the top. Gives the metal protection from the weather and also look brighter with the perspex and paint.

    I'm not a brown noser, so know that I mean this. What you have done is extraordinary in your business and life. I have dreamed about starting my own car audio business since I was in my late teens, I just did not have the guts to do it. I was going to run my own shop and make custom boxes as my main thing. I am 43 now and because I took the easier road, I have a lifetime of regrets, for not going for it. I want to start building flat pack made to order custom sub boxes, all I need is a better table saw because my Delta only has a 30 inch rip width. Keep it up man, keep making that money and building your brand.

    Do you have to reprogram the ECU to deal with all the extra voltage to the electrical system? I thought something like that would set off a check engine light.
