    Attention to detail and craftsmanship. This is why Steve Meade is the man for installs. The heatshrink over the bullett connectors for the head unit and twisting of the wires.

Your calling in life is car Audio and your a miracle worker with it I could only dream of your talent. Some years ago I was in Afghanistan and was hit by a IED and we all walked away and from that blast that should of killed us, I have learned life is so much more and I make it a point to help people when they need it.

    Ok,the comments about the kick panels. There ment to face that direction.....towards the listeners ear opposite of each other that's why they face that way. I should know I have custom kick panels in my 84 camaro.....and yes there Rockford Fosgate 61/2 components. So,unless you have a system with this set up for front stage,shut the hell up a about it. People that don't understand something are the ones that don't have it or wish they did. STEVE, KEEP ON DOING WHAT YA DOING BROTHER!
