this was a late upload...it's 12 Midnight here in California.....out of curiosity, where are you guys from that are checking in this time of night (or morning)? Anyhow i am going to bed, ill catch ya'll tomorrow (or later today i should say) LOL :D
Steve knows his shit always with the correct application of sick snap on tools and resins and fillers. Never seen anybody put it together like Steve very very impressive.
I saw on an Uber ride this guy had an android tablet install in a Honda Accord it was huge & nice he said he paid 400 for everything & it works with Audio, Bluetooth, AC, AM, FM, i mean all & it does run great with no issue at all
Great job man!! You have an amazing talent.. I'm almost 46 yrs old and been slamming since the early 90's/old school. Can't give up building the Fosgate and Alpine systems here in PA!!! :)
meade916 Lol, I wouldn't have guessed that, man.. My wife made me feel like I was the oldest guy alive still doing this, but you just now proved her wrong, and I thank you for that!!! :)
Chuck Flowers would assume he relocated the vent to the inside where the stereo used to be and only had ac to cool the unit while running especially in the summer. I don’t know but it seems logical
What do you use to paint your plastic trim? Like your dashboard for example? If you could make a video on the actual fiberglass that you use and which paint you use and how you apply it, that would be much appreciated. I’ve seen other guys using fiberglass with the mesh and it seems so complex. Thank you and keep up the bad ass videos!
bro... you have a badass setup foreal! hands down the best audio head out here on RUclips. You always put in work and the quality of you're builds is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I follow you and Doug. Great to see you come together on a project. This is a great video. The editing gives plenty of information about how you did the build, but it moves along really quickly. My only wish is that you showed how you buffed such a complex panel after color sanding. Anyway, as Doug would say, this install is "legendary"!!
Watching from the UK I can't help being jealous of your weather! I have a full set of speakers to install but I gotta wait till April/May so I don't get frost bite when fitting them! Love the shows. Keep em coming! :-)
you are jealous of our weather? It's been raining non stop for 5 weeks and flooding everywhere. lol...actually it's a good thing because we have been in a drought for 5 years, we need it. But thanks man!
on this channel, its not going to swell, twist, no sparks that could ignite the fumes, can I help you?, deez ntz, ha ha got him, but only on Doug's channel. Riiiiiip it.
Yo man you have been killing it from day 1 I remember when you first started working on the Tahoe. Just to see it grow sicker threw out the years is amazing keep doing your thang man. Dream of mine is to one day meet you in person and see if we could hook up my Tahoe with a cool set up!
I'm glad I ran across this video!!! I was stressing out about whether or not if I should build an entirely custom fiberglass dashboard for my 1999 suburban... HELL NO I'M NOT. I'll be doing something similar to yours.. Nice truck fam!!!
Huup in reality he can buy a sports car and the Tahoe wasn't a waste of money at all because he's made back way more than he's put into it by making videos like this and getting is brand out there. Also, if you don't like it, LEAVE.
How every deck should be. Can’t believe people pay over 2 grand for a factory deck that will be obsolete in months but you can do this and it will be good for a time to come.
Kool to see someone do this! I need to still do this myself because this is something I've wanted to do for awhile! Wifi hot spot with an IPad mounted! Mad props bro!
Awesome build, Steve. My dream is to build a project like yours, rockford fosgate, iPad on the Dash, those subs damn. But here in Brazil everything is f*cking expensive and anyone are good as you. Cheers, man!
Man...You could use picture-in-picture and have a pretty good screen for a back-up cam and still have videos playing. It looks huge in a Tahoe dash. Really cool!
Awesome! I know some people hate on the iPads, but I love mine. Use it to edit my videos. Can't wait to see how you like the Sony head unit. I've been wanting the Pioneer P99RS for a while, but the fact the Bluetooth module is external (and not included) is a BIG drawback. Keep it up bro
I hooked my iPad up through wifi to an airport express and optical that into a JL twk d8 that then feeds my amps. The JL twk has 24-bit 48 ksps dac, so the sound is awesome. Unfortunately the apple air play limits to 16 bit audio, so I'm looking into other options to get higher quality audio into the twk. Great install, Bernards is the man.
JoMiTo83 dam man... I saw a video here on RUclips of someone who had the same problem as you. Just search it up. I can't remember what they did though.
are you sure it down samples when using optical? I was pretty sure the internal DAC on the airport express only worked with the 3.5mm output. if you chose to use an optical output, it bypasses the DAC and sends uncompressed audio. thats how i have mine hooked up at home and was contemplating also doing it in the car as I also cant really find a decent solution for optical audio from and iPad.
the lightning cable isn't going to "break easy". lol. I have done SEVERAL ipad kits and not one has broke yet. One is in my RZR and believe me we have went on some rides. Never even moved.
That's awesome, I'm going to tackle or attempt to tackle a similar project in my vw touareg this spring. Thanks for the video, gives me a idea on what to do. Can you possibly do a video of how everything is hooked up please?
That's such a tight fit!!! It looks great man!! :))))))👌👌👌👌
I'm stoked that you liked the kit :))))
i am sub
Doug about to get 400,000 new subs
It's gonna twist!
It's gonna ignite the fumes!
Rafa's mom approved!
Dougie Bernard and Steve Meade puttin' in work! Saw the Soundman vid a couple weeks back and have been looking forward to this. Excellent job gents!
Im having an idea of putting up a 75 inches led smart tv on my dashboard.
DEW IT
Nothing like blasting some AC/DC for those about to rock on your newly installed dash. Well done my man.
this was a late upload...it's 12 Midnight here in California.....out of curiosity, where are you guys from that are checking in this time of night (or morning)? Anyhow i am going to bed, ill catch ya'll tomorrow (or later today i should say) LOL :D

Steve and Doug make this look so easy but it's not. Great job and DAMN it looks good.
You got super blessed hands bro. Mad skills.
Best custom work on RUclips. Definitely top notch installs
Where's Doug at? Come on soundmanCA I know your there. Steve, you and Doug got some talent.
That's a clean install. Congratulations on the good work. Definitely people gotta hit you up for all their stereo needs.
Just curious what did you do with the ac vent that was there before the iPad and Mac mini?
Its so fantastic to finally see an install video where you work your magic again!
what do you mean "finally"? where have you been? i never stopped.
You do a LOT of great installs, but it has been a lot of boxes latley. Been missing stuff like this for a little while.
I really like your work i try and do stuff like that myself just don't have all the tools but you inspire me to keep going keep up the good work bro
Great job man!! You have an amazing talent.. I'm almost 46 yrs old and been slamming since the early 90's/old school. Can't give up building the Fosgate and Alpine systems here in PA!!! :)
right on Mark good to hear from you! we are the same age :D
meade916 Lol, I wouldn't have guessed that, man.. My wife made me feel like I was the oldest guy alive still doing this, but you just now proved her wrong, and I thank you for that!!! :)
Love both y'all channels. Dope install I made one the old fashioned way looks like I need to save for a DB side slider kit.
San Antonio, TX. Meade, you make car audio fun. I've been into car audio since the 80's. Your channel is one of the best. Thanks for the enthusiasm!
thanks a lot malcalamark! I have also been doing this since the 80's maybe that is why you feel my page :D Us old school guys have a lot in common.
thumbs up for Doug, Soundman CA !
Absolutely mind blowing custom work. You ARE the best, Steve.
Where did your AC and heating control go
Chuck Flowers would assume he relocated the vent to the inside where the stereo used to be and only had ac to cool the unit while running especially in the summer. I don’t know but it seems logical
It's in the center console I think
that looks sick! love how u matched the paint with the exterior paint! doug got down on thag kit and threw it together quick! both bad ass channels!
What do you use to paint your plastic trim? Like your dashboard for example? If you could make a video on the actual fiberglass that you use and which paint you use and how you apply it, that would be much appreciated. I’ve seen other guys using fiberglass with the mesh and it seems so complex. Thank you and keep up the bad ass videos!
bro... you have a badass setup foreal! hands down the best audio head out here on RUclips. You always put in work and the quality of you're builds is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Looks badass Doug! Good job on that one.
SoundmanCA built it.....its going to twist ..😆
yo can you guys make a kit for my samsung tag a? please!
I follow you and Doug. Great to see you come together on a project. This is a great video. The editing gives plenty of information about how you did the build, but it moves along really quickly. My only wish is that you showed how you buffed such a complex panel after color sanding. Anyway, as Doug would say, this install is "legendary"!!
Damn you made that look easy as hell
I don't know Doug but I watch his videos daily and props on giving him a shout out
MY MAN THAT CAME OUT 😷 SICK
You really outdid yourself with this install Steve. Very impressive for sure
Where is the air conditioner control
Inside the center console
Watching from the UK I can't help being jealous of your weather! I have a full set of speakers to install but I gotta wait till April/May so I don't get frost bite when fitting them! Love the shows. Keep em coming! :-)
you are jealous of our weather? It's been raining non stop for 5 weeks and flooding everywhere. lol...actually it's a good thing because we have been in a drought for 5 years, we need it. But thanks man!
where are your ac controlls?
His ac controls are in the center console
Soundman is a beast. He’s who I’m gonna go through for my next project for the dash upgrade
on this channel, its not going to swell, twist, no sparks that could ignite the fumes, can I help you?, deez ntz, ha ha got him, but only on Doug's channel. Riiiiiip it.
ELRORRITO1 What did i just read? LOL.
antheny916 you obviously haven't watched Doug's channel
antheny916 Hahahaha you have to watch Doug Bernard's vids he's hilarious
ELRORRITO1 Don't you ever talk that shit on Steve's channel... Rip-It.
Vinh Ho Yeah, i probably should huh?
havent watched your videos in a couple years, glad to see you are still coming out with content. keep up the good vibes!
So this replaces your head unit? How do you run your RCAs and speaker wires to it??
I think he has a headunit somewhere else and connects the pad via AUX or BT :)
min. 9:40.
I remember when you first put the Mac mini on the Tahoe, I think it was back in 09 or something. Love these types of videos
EASY-E..... I haven't heard that beat for a long time. 😀
Awesome install..... I watched Doug's video way back when he made that kit. Thumbs up!
What are the displays directly under the iPad?
You guys motivate me to continue doing car audio installs.
old cars with new tecnologies makes me feel weird
It's crazy that this was six years ago and now everyone is getting larger screens.
What climate control switches are being used?
Yo man you have been killing it from day 1 I remember when you first started working on the Tahoe. Just to see it grow sicker threw out the years is amazing keep doing your thang man. Dream of mine is to one day meet you in person and see if we could hook up my Tahoe with a cool set up!
Covering up a air vent near you
You're the Picasso of audio customization!!! It came out awesome!!! 👍👍
If he thinks it looks cool and functional, than that's all that matters.
if WHO thinks it "looks cool and functional"? I think everyone does.
good job Steve, I'm in Vegas car audio installer of 35 yrs
How the fuck can people dislike this smh
I'm glad I ran across this video!!! I was stressing out about whether or not if I should build an entirely custom fiberglass dashboard for my 1999 suburban... HELL NO I'M NOT. I'll be doing something similar to yours.. Nice truck fam!!!
Hits bump. iPad falls out
Only if you install it alex29
Glad to see that one off kit put to perfect use...looks like it was meant to be there......Dirty South...but my hearts always in Cali
OML how does a person from duck dynasty rice out a Chevy Tahoe
Savage
Huup in reality he can buy a sports car and the Tahoe wasn't a waste of money at all because he's made back way more than he's put into it by making videos like this and getting is brand out there. Also, if you don't like it, LEAVE.
meade916 Honestly, I would rather drive a Prius than that hunk of junk Tahoe. At least the Prius is functional.
you and good ole Dougie, holding it down for the Best coast!!!
And ductape on the driver seat, that is just sad😔
where did you see duct tape at dumb ass?
you better ask mommy for a better computer and maybe a screen made in the last 10 years...lol
guess u learned NEVER diss meades Tahoe :D
Not gonna lie, I had my doubts about making it happen but dang that looks CLEAN!
Man these American car interiors are rubbish. The look and the quality is just atrocious.
Piotr Bieniek wheres u owe u .. text soldier
Opinions are just like ass holes, everyone has one. I dig the look of any Chevrolet over any foreign!
Yeah American cars kill foreign poop
Sick! Even color matched the dash. Didn't think this Tahoe could get any better I was wrong!
You always do amazing work. Shows what hard work, talent and passion can do together.
thanks a lot Daniel!
Been looking forward to see that Sony deck. Doug did my Tacoma dash (iPad mini) and I plan on getting that deck.
How every deck should be. Can’t believe people pay over 2 grand for a factory deck that will be obsolete in months but you can do this and it will be good for a time to come.
Man, you were way ahead of time with this build.
Meade that looks awesome! You aint no joke man. Cant wait for the 24 in sub box.
This is some seriously amazing work Steve. I plan on doing a 10" android tablet in my car this year... I can only hope it turns out half as good.
Nice watching a true craftsman at work. Nice i-pad dash mod
Steve meade you did it again brother.awesome job on the ipad kit install.keep up the good work.👍
I wondered how thin you would cut that dash panel down to. There wasn't much left! But that new iPad looks like in your Tahoe. Great job.
Kool to see someone do this! I need to still do this myself because this is something I've wanted to do for awhile! Wifi hot spot with an IPad mounted! Mad props bro!
Looks incredible man I love how it's basically edge to edge glass.
Awesome build, Steve.
My dream is to build a project like yours, rockford fosgate, iPad on the Dash, those subs damn.
But here in Brazil everything is f*cking expensive and anyone are good as you.
Cheers, man!
Man...You could use picture-in-picture and have a pretty good screen for a back-up cam and still have videos playing. It looks huge in a Tahoe dash. Really cool!
For some reason I swore these kits were 10x harder to assemble into a dash LOL. Love it tho man looks sick especially with that paint job
Amazing custom work very nice!!!! Hello from Sydney Australia.
Awesome! I know some people hate on the iPads, but I love mine. Use it to edit my videos. Can't wait to see how you like the Sony head unit. I've been wanting the Pioneer P99RS for a while, but the fact the Bluetooth module is external (and not included) is a BIG drawback. Keep it up bro
How do you controll a/c and heat etc?
I hooked my iPad up through wifi to an airport express and optical that into a JL twk d8 that then feeds my amps. The JL twk has 24-bit 48 ksps dac, so the sound is awesome. Unfortunately the apple air play limits to 16 bit audio, so I'm looking into other options to get higher quality audio into the twk.

I have seen Doug make this. love his and your channel Steve ,yeeah
once again steve knocks it out of the park. Great job bud
I've never seen a JDM Style Momo Steering Wheel on a 2001 Chevy Tahoe. You see something new everyday
Great install looks amazing idk if I could commit to this because I'm a iPhone user and those lighting cables break to easy
the lightning cable isn't going to "break easy". lol. I have done SEVERAL ipad kits and not one has broke yet. One is in my RZR and believe me we have went on some rides. Never even moved.
I want to be that successful bro. I've followed you since before the amp upgrade in the Hoe. Love the work you do Steve.
Thought you were going to put it in the Caddy when I heard doug was making for you. Nice to see you're still working on the Tahoe.
no room in the caddy bro. thanks!
May not be the loudest in the world, bit this entirre install and his Lexus install are just insane. Can't wait to see the Cadillac install.
the meadecherry on the dash...oooohhhhwwweeeee!! damn Nice Steve
Really looking forward to seeing that new Sony unit in that ride !!
That's awesome, I'm going to tackle or attempt to tackle a similar project in my vw touareg this spring. Thanks for the video, gives me a idea on what to do. Can you possibly do a video of how everything is hooked up please?
I watched that one all ready I only watch him n you Steve !!
thanks Sean bro!!
And that Sony is over 1000$ yeah can't wait see how that sounds !!
Damn man, sitting here at work on lunch break watchin pure magic!!
Looking good! Doug needs an F150 box, maybe you'd want an F250 box, truck under-seat box build off!
Mr. Meade, you are an amazing talent!
That's a big ass screen my dude. Go big or go home though! Looks super clean like always.
Really kool man I'm in the middle of moding my car this really inspire to get on it after a long 18hr shift.
Dope vid as usual. That head unit at the end 👌🏽 with the optical out is going to be perfect
awesome. I remember the watching the system install series in your tahoe when you put in that touchscreen and the mac mini
Steve I have a single cab 01 Chevy what sub do you recommend me I was looking at sundown 500w rms 8s but idk
flawless work as always, you're so good at what you do man
thanks Jason!
Awesome work . I remember installing in Sac in the 90's fun times.
