the only way i can describe the wiring in this vehicle is ABSURD. Watch this entire video and you might agree. There is over 50 cables on this fuse holder and distro bar and i am NOT done yet. I have more to attach for the rear bank (if i decide to use it). Today i live streamed the progress on my Instagram channel as i am a little further along than this. Follow me and get early updates WAY before it hit's this channel! >> instagram.com/meade916 and thanks for watching if you did!
I don't like simping on people's videos but I was very very impressed with your fabrication of the alternator bracket. The necessary geometry, belt wrap and pullies needed to make everything work smoothly boggles my mind thumbs way up reppin north bay san rafael
Man! This is what it's all about! It's not about the finished product! It's about everything else! The designing, the try and fails, the wins and most importantly finding out what works! Steve your idea's on this truck our truly out of this WORLD! The under hood stuff is WOW! When I saw that Battery Rack! That joint blow my MINE! Can't wait for the next video! Until then brother!
When the materials, wiring, alternators, batteries and the rest of the sound system cost more than the vehicle itself. Awesome install. Beautiful work.
I use that Crimper as an Electrician from time to time and I can say without a doubt that thing is worth it's weight in gold. Keep up the clean work Steve.
These videos are great for people like me who might not have an idea where to start and want to see how it's done . It's helpful and amazing to watch it all come together as well. Beautiful work.
man i was second guessing that milwaukee crimper. not so much now. i bet those strippers and crimper saved HOURS of time, not having to get the cable to length, then pull it, terminate it, and re run it. kick ass wiring man.
SMD and Laguna bringing the audio installers into the 21st century. Epic!! I now know I need some Laguna in my boat shop... would save me soooooo much time.
Around 1:50 minutes in I was like dam he got some damage! Then I realized it was a reflection of a flex pipe in the back ground . Good thing! keep up the the craziness
Looks great man, awesome cable managment, and custom creativity, good job man, hope to see it in person some day, I use your distribution blocks and fuse holders in my personal vehicle and the quality is top of the line.
Steve Meade 916 is the godfather of car audio he creates state of the art not follow it....state of the art follows him real talk ..big up godfather..respect everytime
Wow! I used to be an installer at D-Tronics in Harlingen, Tx back in the 90s. And most of all the plexiglass cutting we did by hand, wow technology today.
holy shit Steve... Gimme a second to scrape my jaw off of the floor.........I have only been a installing car audio "professionally" for about three years but i am just gobsmacked by your dedication to the Hoe. I mean dude, that install is clean asf. It doesnt surprise me by looking at all your previous builds, el grande de bajo!!!! any tips for anyone looking to get into SPL?
This build keeps getting better and better week after week Steve. Engine so clean u can cook a steak on it. Beautiful bro. Can’t wait to see what’s next
Love the wire up videos bro as always amazing work. Those distros are super clean and the wire is on point as always. Keep up the great work bro. Ready for the vibrations!
Been following the Tahoe build for a minute. Watching it get a makeover is bitter sweet, but she’s gonna be a monster when she’s done. These vids just keep getting more and more insane. I love it. #BASSHEADS4LYFE
Not sure if it's been answered, but what mods have been done to the suspension? That's gotta be a ton of weight back there when everything is said and done.
Wow holy wires Batman !!! wish I could run 2 runs of wire like that can't afford that but man it's nice love the videos man keep up the work been watching for years
I bet thats night and day difference on crimping rather than soldering and i'm sure it goes 100X faster too. Seems like that was a good investment in the tool as many feckin runs of wire there is. This is getting crazier and crazier day by day. keep up the good work!
Bro dig the work ...i had this idea in 02 trying to wire up 6 yellow tops ...the long block ...smart business ....making something no one else makes....i ended up using 6 OGauge monster dis blocks ...looked ok this is super fu*king clean love it

This build is gonna be more nuts then 30.000 watts
Bad Ass!
Please dont feel bad about posting wiring vids, we want to see this!
Facts, I love the technical install vids
I concur
me to I loved the wiring part but most people don't show it
Couldn’t agree more. Gives us an insight on what to do to our own systems 👌🏻
I like the problem solving, seeing what ideas he comes up with using the cnc. Definitely organized chaos.

These videos are great for people like me who might not have an idea where to start and want to see how it's done . It's helpful and amazing to watch it all come together as well. Beautiful work.
Can’t say it enough and I say it every time... cleanest installs ever. Seriously would love to just come up and work for a week. Love this stuff!
thanks Ryan!
god so satisfying to watch.
I just love seeing the ole girl get some love, so many years of reliable service and she's gonna be like brand new again.

BIGTIME my bro. Thanks!
Love the tenacity, professionalism and superb workmanship, not to mention the patience in the installation.
That crimper has already paid for itself
I’ve been watching 4y and I realize Steve is the best on the planet when it comes to custom car audio. 2020
Man, how can anyone dislike this kat work? Especially since he’s doing all the work himself and as clean as his work be
SMD builds his own and I Love JP SMD the god father of bass
looks real good Steve. making any large quantity of cables look good is always a challenge
I definitely need a van with a team of that level.
I'm 17 I'd like to go for the American dream and achieve that goal
Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
Incredible vision and amazing craftsmanship...awe inspiring. Looking forward to more updates.
Who been waiting for this vid, I know that I have.

The alternator pulleys are spinnin nicely

Bro, nothing short of amazing! Nice work Steve
True craftsmanship and innovations SMD ftw...
I like the music that plays while he works, before the 3:20 mark or so
I like the end credit music but never got reply on the track title...
Super satisfying to watch this all come together. Thanks for the content!

The 12V block is really nice. Much nicer than the "Jeep retrofit" kits.
Amazing work! I love watching your build videos.

Man, this is very cool! The eyes are happy!
That crimper is so bad ass...
Great work as usual Steve
That best wire setup I seen out of any body wish I could have a set up like this

Besides Sky High Audio of course.

Bro, new subscriber here!! You are a master of your craft on so many levels!! Stoked to learn some skills from you.
All of that work, and my takeaway is that I need that crimper.
Do it you won't regret it!
Haven't been this hyped for new episodes
Since the first 2 seasons of power rangers lol
Can't wait till the next video
I enjoy all your videos man, I learn something new all the time
I didn't know RF's were 16v capable! Learn something new every day! Looking badass man!
only if you show the remote UNDER 15.9 ish
1.21 Gigawatts of SMD power!
Not sure if it's been answered, but what mods have been done to the suspension? That's gotta be a ton of weight back there when everything is said and done.
Air ride in all 4 corners
Like always such a nice and tidy beautiful job
Wow holy wires Batman !!! wish I could run 2 runs of wire like that can't afford that but man it's nice love the videos man keep up the work been watching for years
