Who checks in to RUclips on Sundays?! Thanks for watching early notification squad!
I do ,,,, keep it up
CarAudioFabrication have you seen the crap they rerun over and over on TV? It's always good to check out what the guru of fabrication has done. 🖒
Haha good point
great work! and yes the led's pop!!
CarAudioFabrication what size acrylic did you Use keep up the good work mark!!!
LEDs look great when they’re done correctly. This is a beautiful build. Thanks for posting.
I'm a big fan of these. Thanks so much for making these vids man. I used one of your vids to help make my first ported box for 2 10" mtx 5510's and they really pump. Little by little i'm increasing my range of tools and knowledge on how to use them, I recently got a plunge router(no table) but, in time i hope i get to this point. Keep up the good work!.
I’m jealous u have a router! One day, like u, I’ll own one!
Good video, Mark, again. I think as long as they are done right, LEDs are really a must! Your install looks great and can't wait to see it wrapped in vinyl!
I always use LEDs in my car audio. and sometimes other places. the build looks great the mesh really make it come together.
Great job mark ... love this install . I’m sure you keep your customers very happy
Really like your work ethic and the quality of your builds and your videos. Keep up the good work!
I used the blue LEDs on my Pioneer amp rack and it looks awesome. Love the lights.
your murdering this I stall bro. I love that your just a guy in his garage doing it. it makes me feel like I can and I attempt the stuff I learn. great channel bro
The stuff your doing, and the quality of your videos is simply mind blowing. Ian extremely impressed with ALL the videos I've seen thusfar, and have in fact picked up some great ideas for my own build.
Thanks, and keep up the amazing work!
I think LED's can be very complimentary to a build. I added some to mine for some minor accent lighting. Although I have mine on a switch so I don't always have to have it on. Thanks for the great tutorials! Nice work!
Awesome job! Love the detail you put into your builds.
I see CAF video ,, I like and then watch
now that is an amazing episode ,,, way to go buddy !!!
I myself love incorporating l.e.ds in my installs. I think they bring the finished product to a new level an make it stand out from the rest.
It looks really nice with light just adds that little touch to make you stand out from the rest at meets or even at car shows
Love l.e.ds I use them in a lot of my builds, and on my own vehicles as well!
Beautiful work brother every time i see your vids im extremely impressed and motivated!
I love lights especially sound activated
If installed correctly LED's look great. Yours are awesome.
Your vids are great, man, and I want to thank you for your time and effort to create them...not enough stuff like this on RUclips!

Loving this fabrication, the LEDs look great, too many lights can get gaudy but this build is super clean and tasteful 👍🏻
Think that's the first time I've seen one of your custom systems play. Sounded good!!
Absolutely clean job
I Like them it looks sick
That looks awesome, lots of attention to detail. I couldn't wrap my head around the mesh until i saw it finished, but it looks great! I am a bit of a show off, so I love LED lights in installs. Obviously, it has to make sense visually with the build, and should never take away from the actual audio equipment, but very cool with all that in place!
Love the LED’s 👍🏻 I’m in the middle of building my ICE install at the moment so this video was very useful, thanks 😎🤙🏻
U r one of the best of the industry if not the best, I can't compliment on your talents enough
Absolutely sick install! All the work you do is second to none. Great job and keep the the flawless work👏👏👏
Thank you!
Great job Mark beautiful as always and love the progress keep up the great work ✌️
as long as they are not over used...LED lights can add a nice touch to an install ...great job!!!

i really like the neatness and detail to your work and designs 👍quality stuff
Looks awesome. Great looking piece
That there's some good stuff man. You actually encouraged me to do a project for the 1st time in my f150. Thanks for dumbing down some of the work. Makes it a WHOLLLE LOT EASIER. AWESOME JOB GUYS !!!!
hey man loved the build I own a jeep so it was very informative down fall my lay out is different used rockford speakers and amp as well jl audio sub and xd400/4 amp together they rock
Looks Excellent.
Dude you're a beast...WAY above my level
i love the design and look
Crazy. Every time I go to do a mod or upgrade,start my research.hit play.......you again!!! Subscribed!!! I'll try to catch up in your stuff.
come out awesome thanks for the help and sharing
First, let me say how delighted I am to have found this series. I love the commitment to craft. While I prefer a little subtler style, all these elements can be used at a lower key, and for purely functional (as opposed to decorative) purposes, with a high level of aesthetic appeal.
On a purely selfish note, I’ll say that I’m working on a Miata build, which means that I would love direction for good sound in a VERY small spaces, and very clean, simple appearance.
(Oh, and grammar nazi here-since LED stands for “light emitting diode”, “LED lights” is redundant 😜.
LED’s are awesome! This looks great!
Looking so sick bro! And keep making your top notch videos.
Another awesome video as always!:). I for one really like "tasteful" (not over done) lighting, such as what you did here!
I LOVE LEDs they're are best and I dont think they're too much at all!
excelente tips
That's beautiful work
I love them!!
I love LED lights as it brings more life to the install and equipment. I might add some to my install also LOL
Love them. Your good at what you do bro
Great work skip!
I have to watch the videos, to make sure you will be the best person to do,and make a video build of my Project!!! Good videos and Great knowledge!
when I soldering leds I use a little Flux on the strip. I know that solder now a days has Flux built into it, but the solder seems to bit harder onto the the strip. I also taking the tip of the razor blade and scratching the copper points also helps with solder adhesion
Great design ideas. Keep it going.
I like led lights , looks good mark
Looks good 😎😎 great job 😎😎 much love and respect from Mexico
I love the ligth
thats a great install. I like the lights.
Love led accent lighting.
Very nice job. Professional
Very well done thank you
Led lights can be cool, as long as you dont over do it. You did a nice job and I noticed the same things that you stated in the video. Your making me thing about going some more led stuff. .
Looks good man.
Not sure if you have ever thought about or tried hot glue to assist in holding the led when you used tesa tape but it works amazing and you dont have the worry about covering the bulbs it is also non conductive and water proof (when completely sealed)
very informative. thanks
Love the LEDs very cool videos.
Nicely done.
i think that looks incredible
Love the look!
Install looking great! I have used a very similar LED product and had lights fail over time and the adhesive let go. My install didn't allow for taping as you did to provide extra secure connections. I would say, just figure on the adhesive failing and design accordingly. The failuire of actual lights surprised me more. LEDs are supposed to be 20,000 hr lights, but not all LEDs are equal I guess. Thanks for your shows!
I know its a 4 year old video but i really like this install. I don't know if anyone has said this but you can increase how much light is diffused into your piece by sanding the edges of the acrylic so the light gets scattered in more directions with up to 600 grit sand paper. You can also do custom logos with custom vinyl sticker and a sand blaster. Blasting it several times will deepen the etch and it will light up better.
thank you so much
I love leds it makes the install better
Thanks for watching!
The LED's look good on some cars but really depends on the type of build and the look your going for IMHO. Great video Mark.
LED light, yes or no? My opion is what makes the customer happy. Great job.
That’s awesome work
Nice video. i like led lights if its nice and clean installation as how you do it
Great job
I love the LED’s!!!
beautiful. I like
great work!
nice job good install bro well explined
Looking good man!!!!👍👍👍👍
They a wicked luxury look to me, I own alpha Customs in fort Saint John bc, keep up the good work brother🤘🏼
Awesome!
well I'm running 3 hifonics zues that have the hifonics lit in blue so my intention is to run blue led's around border of amp rack so I needed this video, thx Mark
Damn man. Got it going on. Love it
By the way LED's are really awesome when combined with acrylic. To be honest, LED's are not always cool. Only when the build looks really sharp and clean, like yours. Great job dude!
Love it
looks fantastic !!!!! I personally like the way LED's draw attention to a nice install
Thank you, I agree, can be used to draw the eye to different areas.
I have LED's installed on mine , along with acrylic panels on my amp racks but no where near the quality of work that you put out , all I have to work with is simple hand tools and a hand held router and jigsaw . did the sub boxes in vinyl to match the cars interior colors . now that I've seem your RGB LED's on yours I wish I had used them instead of just the Blue I used .
Impressive work !!! I didn't that look with lights on.
very cool
Liking the LEDs. I use them in my own builds.
I have these lights in my basement. So cool!
I think if done subtle and not obnoxiously where theres LED everywhere they really accent the pieces nicely and high light certain points very well.
Lights are always good
