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 figured i would put them all together and add an update video almost a year after the install so you can all see how well it all sounds and most of all how it held up. 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! To anyone who puts in the time stamp and title of each segment, i REALLY thank you! You guys did that last time for me and it really helped. :)
I see some people likes your car some people likes your Tahoe🤣..! I love this shop man! It looks like heaven in there! If I had one wish! It would be to have Steve as my friend🤣🤣🤣 cause man this guy loves to help others just because he can. Good people achieve their goals! Keep it up!
I did all this stuff for free and i can't remember the last time i charged someone to do an install....so if it ain't up to your standards or your cousin's standards, i don't know what to tell ya. He does need some more deadener, clearly haha! That is on him. I will hook him up with some more next chance i get. Jared is a cool dude i am glad he loves it and even more glad it has held up this great. A Sacramento TRUNK install is hard to keep cool! it get's hot here!
This is the best way to truly help someone out. Giving to a good guy and teaching him invaluable lessons. I would prefer to see way more stuff like this on RUclips no matter what kind of channel it is.
its thr best feeling ever. i just yesterday helped a dude out and rewired his shit that his friend did for him. every connection was electrical taped. total car fire waiting to happen. and the dude used a bad ground spot causing a feedback issue making the amp power the subs after shutting thr car off snd i fixed that too. hes much happier 🙂
Ever since i got diagnosed with cancer man i had to sell all my shit finally cancer free but too many medical issues going on but i am finally back to bassing nothing big but watching your videos sure helped inspire me man
Steve Meade is the man, inspired me to start on my car audio journey. I'm a huge proponent for diy anything automotive and these vids help a ton. Seeing someone do what they love for a living is perfection that shows. Keep it up man!
You pass on the knowledge to the future generations... This is STELLAR.. You are a gentleman and a scholar.. Keep teaching...we are watching..and learning..
Steve, been watching for almost 13 years now. Even though I've seen this series I can't wait to see it again. One day I will make the trip from Oklahoma to sit outside and wait for a demo.
This was awesome to watch, you totally didn't have to help his so much or give him so much product. You didn't get frustrated with him, or down talk his lack of knowledge, he would have been unworthy to most bassheads, but you went that extra mile for a nubie ! You earned my subscription even if you took a loss helping him out brother !
He’ll remember the lessons learned and will hopefully adapt them to everything he does from now on out. He definitely has an open mind to what can be done better and then doing it.
Steve, you are AWESOME! I love the acrylic amp rack you designed and built. I was blown away with your idea of putting the gauges into the lid of the acrylic amp rack. I have been into car audio since I was 12 and I would love to have all the CNC machines you have and especially that Laguna Laser! You are truly a genius and I would love to work with you in your shop and I would just about do it for free because I know that you could teach me so much. Thank you for your wonderful videos. I will continue to watch and drool over all your ideas that you make a reality.
Man, it's good to be your friend Steve. :) Amazing work as always. The level of detail on the amp rack is pure art. Also learned a lot which is much appreciated.
As someone on my own audio journey, this was great to watch through as there's loads of do's and don'ts and tips and ideas to take away. You really hooked your bro up there, and gave him a lot of knowledge for the future.
Ur a good dude for hooking him up! I try to build my build clean like urs (terminals,heat shrink etc.) but it takes time saving and patience to wait and install it correctly the first time!
Just had to comment...as a music lover......I put headphones on just to hear this bad ass build..big respect to you...I love attention to detail and your fineness is awesome...I don't know anyone who produces this kind of systems in the UK........I watched from start to finish also........peace n love
Steve is a “Real One”! He didn’t allow this kid to disrespect the quality subs he was blessed. Hooked him up with a custom enclosure! X’s 2 blessings. SMD FTW!!!
Glad Steve can show details after details, no one would actually take the time to do so. I respect this guy for everything he does. Thanks Steve! Nebraska follower!!!
Man o man. Talk about going above and beyond. Love seeing someone give back and REALLY go all in! I remember watching the series with ya buddy Robs truck too. Good shit man. Thanks for being a decent human!
It would be an honor and Dream to have Steve install and build the system I have. He got me into car audio 15yrs ago. He Is such a genuine man and a family man also. One day I'll meet him and one thing on my bucket list will be complete.
I'm glad I stumbled across your channel Steve. Watching you at your craft is entertaining and very instructive. I've learned so much about big sound install from your build videos. I must say though, my favorite thing is just how amazing your work is. It's so beautiful and has the look of a true professional who has dedicated many many years to their craft. Keep up the great work dude! And like so many others I'll keep watching and learning!
you are truely and artist when it comes to clean systems built properly man use to do installs for a living years ago, nice to see someone as ocd about it being right....as myself
THAT'S WHAT'S UP!!!!! Steve Meade supporting Gately Audio. I need some of that deliciousness in my Tahoe. You guys are Killing it !! SMD. Gately Audio ftw!!!
Damn I was gonna say that's way too much work for an Amp box but really that's the nicest shit iv ever seen. Idk how the guages work they look fake till its on so dope.
Man I watched this build from start to finish the first time but never fails on how awesome ur shit comes out n on a side note u got to be one of the best friends to have man great vid as always
It’s cool seeing a true pro level bass head get excited about helping someone else’s entry level system. That’s 50% of this hobby is helping others. (It is for me) bc I didn’t have anyone to ever help me. I had to read books back in the day. So this is awesome. This is why I’m big time SM fan. Oh, and the other 50% of being a bass head is them low lows lol 😂
That was f****** EPIC!! The attention to detail was impressive. Super nice build. If you need another ride for the next video I`ll volunteer my 2018 Soul 😉
Im hooking all my new system up new myself, and I’m changing a few things after seeing this. I’m changing out my door speakers and amping them up. Changing my main ground location.
@meade916 I love seeing these video cycle back around. I constantly find myself digging through these video and other channels to see if I can change something in my install to make it a little better or just clean it up more. Man, I've learned alot from you and sometimes too much because I'll see someone's setup and immediately want to help them improve it by saying "what would Steve do?" thanks for the opportunity to learn and broadening the horizon for some of us who have seen very few "SMD" level setups and have seen more of the "Bucket O' Bass" setups in our lifetime.
love the idea of this. If i where someone with rescauces (spelling, im swedish) and doing work like this, i would also help my friends and co-workers like this (more then i do now). I love to help and find solutions for sound, its a big part of my life and hobby.
You do amazing work and love looking at your videos it's a sad day for me the police found my 08 Cadillac Escalade totally stripped of my music 3 skar amps 4 skar audio 12's (beasts) with a massive box ported tuned at 27 hertz I cried like a little girl when my baby was stolen and the worst part I just moved to Orlando Florida for only 3 weeks😢😢😢😢😢😢 still hurts so bad and no money to start over please when you do a new build for them warn them there's haters out there to steal what you got so they get a free come up😮😮😮😮😮😢
I was just about say I wish had a homeboy like u fam u show so much love with ur ppl and with all the information u give to help upgrade there systems . That's true love fam Darrell Littlejohn of fort Wayne bassheads Indiana
The Tahoe is still my favorite. It’s what made me check out his channel and love systems. Wish I had the money to get a Yukon xl like his son and put 4 18s in it
This build is another masterpiece bud. Wish I can bring my 2019 accord touring down there for u to build something sweet in my ride. Your fabrication work is superior. Can’t wait to take a tour of the shop next time I’m in Cali and hear that slap from the Tahoe and Escalade~Jay New York

I would drive from PA out to Cali for u to do my install and Pay u whatever. At least I know it would be done by the best ever

America is lucky to have a guy like Steve, he truly is a great business owner.
thanks Greg! Appreciate it no matter how mad it makes my haters. They STAY mad but they STAY watching. Pathetic. lol
Yeaa I wish I was friends with him so I could maybe get a upgrade like this one day😂😂
This was a super nice thing to do, really great video. He seems genuinely appreciative, he has a really nice system.

You pass on the knowledge to the future generations...
This is STELLAR..
You are a gentleman and a scholar..
Keep teaching...we are watching..and learning..
It's astounding how great your work is in the beginning, middle, and end of any project! Not to mention your attitude, it just gives off motivation.
Steve, been watching for almost 13 years now. Even though I've seen this series I can't wait to see it again. One day I will make the trip from Oklahoma to sit outside and wait for a demo.

I went back and watched every episode of this series and I just wanted to tell ya how great of guy that you are for doing that for that young king
I love the longer videos, I learn so much, its like a 3 1/2 hour lesson. Please keep doing it for the thumpers out there!
I respect you because I remember when you had nothing. And you worked your ass off to be where you are today.
Bruh!! If Steve Meade puts his hands on it, its going to be awesome!
Giving back to the Community. Awesome!!!
What a breath of fresh air this video was. Glad there’s still good people in this world.
Steve, you are AWESOME! I love the acrylic amp rack you designed and built. I was blown away with your idea of putting the gauges into the lid of the acrylic amp rack. I have been into car audio since I was 12 and I would love to have all the CNC machines you have and especially that Laguna Laser! You are truly a genius and I would love to work with you in your shop and I would just about do it for free because I know that you could teach me so much. Thank you for your wonderful videos.

That's a real move, lookin out for the people who look out for u
Man, it's good to be your friend Steve. :) Amazing work as always. The level of detail on the amp rack is pure art. Also learned a lot which is much appreciated.
As someone on my own audio journey, this was great to watch through as there's loads of do's and don'ts and tips and ideas to take away. You really hooked your bro up there, and gave him a lot of knowledge for the future.
I just want to move out there, live in your shop, eat tacos , and build, this is my passion, my dream
“Friends don’t let friends bump their mids and highs off their deck”
❤That’s an awesome statement!
WOW!!! I can't imagine the amount your time the mess to equal that craftsmanship. That deserves to be facing in the car in my opinion
Careful. Eagles are this biggest blockers on youtube. Lol. What a great video. Learned a ton and am now super inspired to overhaul my whole system.
The amp box is a work of art worthy of much recognition! Forget about sculptures, paintings, etc. Seriously
Ur a good dude for hooking him up! I try to build my build clean like urs (terminals,heat shrink etc.) but it takes time saving and patience to wait and install it correctly the first time!
I legit wouldn't know how to act with an amp rack like that , absolutely amazing ...
This is so cool! I love how you started out by giving him subs and wound up hooking him up with a truly killer setup
I give mad respect Steve. For helping out and up and coming bass head out. Way to many of them forget they didn't know shit starting out.
man those opened up amps are bad ass and not only does it look amazing but they stay cooler. nice job as always .
Just had to comment...as a music lover......I put headphones on just to hear this bad ass build..big respect to you...I love attention to detail and your fineness is awesome...I don't know anyone who produces this kind of systems in the UK........I watched from start to finish also........peace n love
Steve is a “Real One”! He didn’t allow this kid to disrespect the quality subs he was blessed. Hooked him up with a custom enclosure! X’s 2 blessings. SMD FTW!!!
Wish I grew up as a friend. Lol
Props to you for all you do man.
Love watching your videos for Inspiration and Direction
Thats what my self installs looked like too. No worries, lol. I grew up in the area, it was cool coincidence to stumble across the video.
Hey man I really like the way you help me out with the wiring in his box and all the tips u gave him wish I could get that help with my system
Steve going above and beyond for that fella. What a stand up dude!
Thank you! :)
Glad Steve can show details after details, no one would actually take the time to do so. I respect this guy for everything he does. Thanks Steve! Nebraska follower!!!
this video made me subscribe, im not even a third into it... this is everything i love about good content, good people doing good things!!!!
This is sick, one of the most unique amp enclosures/ rack I've ever seen on RUclips.
thanks Rich! I appreciate that!
That amp rack is absolutely gorgeous. Steve, your design and fabrication skills are as good as it gets.
The craftsmanship and time that was put into this was unmatched. I know the client was very satisfied
I remember this build. I’ve been following him on IG ever since. He’s a chill dude to talk to.
I don't think people have any idea how much time this kind of builds take off camera. Kudo's to you sir.
Your Quality of detail is Absolutely Sick and All your work is 2nd to none I would love for u to do my ride
Man o man. Talk about going above and beyond. Love seeing someone give back and REALLY go all in! I remember watching the series with ya buddy Robs truck too. Good shit man. Thanks for being a decent human!
thanks for the comment! :)
It would be an honor and Dream to have Steve install and build the system I have. He got me into car audio 15yrs ago. He Is such a genuine man and a family man also. One day I'll meet him and one thing on my bucket list will be complete.
That was a sick ass build all 3 hrs plus! right on steve.
I'm glad I stumbled across your channel Steve. Watching you at your craft is entertaining and very instructive. I've learned so much about big sound install from your build videos.
I must say though, my favorite thing is just how amazing your work is. It's so beautiful and has the look of a true professional who has dedicated many many years to their craft.
Keep up the great work dude! And like so many others I'll keep watching and learning!
Yo I remember this whole series... and still going to watch all 3hrs and 11 mins and 50 secs 🤣 👍
I have had some professionals do installs for me in the past but it never looked or sounded thus good 👍
This was an absolute joy to watch ... I am so eager to get my install done ... Wish I lived out y'all's way to experience the amazing work you do !!!
That plexiglass box with the amps & fans ... that's a new level of audio-engineering ... big like!
you are truely and artist when it comes to clean systems built properly man use to do installs for a living years ago, nice to see someone as ocd about it being right....as myself
Best installer.... wished I lived in USA 🇺🇸
Steve took this car from a regular on Nissan Altima to a dang on work of art it's now a show car
Sick amp box..... Fabrication on a whole different level.
I can’t believe I watched this for 3 hours... but it was worth it.
thank you bro i appreciate that!!
It really was worth it 🙏🏻
Nothing to see here...just Meade being a good human being again. LOL
What are you talking about I just learned a lot about stereo engineering
This man has a heart of gold!
That’s love right there hard work never goes unnoticed
THAT'S WHAT'S UP!!!!! Steve Meade supporting Gately Audio. I need some of that deliciousness in my Tahoe. You guys are Killing it !! SMD. Gately Audio ftw!!!
That amp box is freaking nice!
That laser makes such smooth cuts in the acrylic!
The video is so new it won’t even buffer yet! :)
Damn I was gonna say that's way too much work for an Amp box but really that's the nicest shit iv ever seen. Idk how the guages work they look fake till its on so dope.
Man I watched this build from start to finish the first time but never fails on how awesome ur shit comes out n on a side note u got to be one of the best friends to have man great vid as always
I got a bad back, I couldn't lift a Steve Mead gift. lol SM is the man.
It’s cool seeing a true pro level bass head get excited about helping someone else’s entry level system. That’s 50% of this hobby is helping others.

The finish on that Gately box is sick!!
That was f****** EPIC!! The attention to detail was impressive. Super nice build. If you need another ride for the next video I`ll volunteer my 2018 Soul 😉
Im hooking all my new system up new myself, and I’m changing a few things after seeing this. I’m changing out my door speakers and amping them up. Changing my main ground location.
Dude did a better job on wires than some shops I've seen 😂
SMD products make these videos possible. That's great
Man learning from the best is priceless and all setup is the cherry on the top. #SALUTE Meade
Not alot I wouldn't give to have the legend do my install. He took it way past what I thought in the beginning good work bro.
This man can do basically anything when he puts his mind to it, what a legend
@meade916 I love seeing these video cycle back around.

I know that there's always going to be people that dislike things but, I can't see what's there not to like about these vlogs. It's mind-blowing.
Damn Steve! You hook your boy up! And he got some dope ass sneakers too! Glad people like you give back! Respect!!
love the idea of this. If i where someone with rescauces (spelling, im swedish) and doing work like this, i would also help my friends and co-workers like this (more then i do now). I love to help and find solutions for sound, its a big part of my life and hobby.
Best amp rack yet my opinion fully functional great creativity, so awesome!!!
We need more full build videos these are dope
Not only is that a bangin ass system, but that’s also a clean ass Altima! Good shxt👍🏿
We need more people like u bro
