My old buddy Rob, known him for 30 years, came by and said his fuses kept blowing..and asked if i had a "40 amp" for him. I took one look at his system and knew i had to do something. I fixed him up and got him on the road. I told him, when i have time, i will go through and fix all this stuff for you. It's BAD. REAL Bad. In a funny way. I guess he got it mostly like this. I don't know who is responsible for the bucket o' bass but i HAD to share this with you guys. Make sure to subscribe and hit like if you think i should hook Rob up proper and fix this for him.

Wish I could hit the lottery so I could have Meade build me a whole system/car makeover. Dude does the best work, hands down. His attention to detail is second to none. Love your work bro, much respect
My son and I watch your episodes. You do amazing work. And really enjoy that you enjoy audio with a passion. It's fun to watch. Keep up the great work.
thanks Ken! tell your son i said wusssup! :) thanks for watching. I appreciate ya!
Bro, this system looks like it's going to slap so hard. Nice work Steve
I love watching your videos because you don't cheap out on anything, you do everything with the best possible materials
My friend asked me why I like watching these videos. I said, "I like watching people do things that I can't do." She said, "Is that why you watch porn?" Grrrr! Curse you Marissa!
that is to funny LOL
I like her
Well done Steve and crew was definitely worth the wait, box is looking good 👀 nearly there now can’t wait to see it playing, this guy is a very lucky guy!!🍀
Man your doing this all for free lol. Thats when you know someone loves what they do. Keep up the great work man !!
it's not that i love doing this. In fact, i would rather be doing other things. But i got love for my friends and i like doing things to make them happy. I like doing things to make strangers happy. But i still tell the youtube trolls to fuck off and i make no apologies for that. hahah
oh...thanks Scoot!
The quality you put into your work work is truly unmatched. Glad to see you never changed that :)
Amazing work every job, attention to detail is 2nd to none. 💪💪💪
Love your channel bro. Watching this really makes me kick myself in the ass for not going to the installer institute back in 97 and getting my MECP certification back when I graduated high school. I had such a passion back then. Your work is amazing sir!
Dam Steve always kicking ass man GOOD JOB ON WHAT YOU DO... welcome back bro
you have never forgotten where you came from steak knifes and car ports to box cutters and cnc machines and a shop with lights lol as someone who has watched from back in the day i keep saying how happy i am for your success
Soon as I heard Deftones, I was 100% invested.
i figured some people in my comment section would like that :D thanks!
Clean install as usual and really goes to show if you "take your time" the end result is well worth it 👍
Dam man I love your work!! I get excited when I get a notification pop up of your videos. Love you videos keep going strong.
Once again you never ceases to amaze us with your install videos! Love watching you do all the work 💪💪
That bedliner looks good on the box bro. It's coming along good bro. Can't wait til it's all done
It would be cool to see all those rear factory trim pieces sprayed it that awesome bed liner. Make the rear nice and tighty! Great work Steve!!
Everything looks awesome Steve!!!! Great job!!! 👍👍👍 Can't wait to hear the way it sounds!!! That was a hell of a lot of work their bro!!! So that's where those amps are going to be placed at permenetly??? Do you think the vibration of the sub box will loosen the parts inside the amps when it's hitting really hard??? I'm just wondering about that!!! That's all bro!!! Great video as always Steve!!! 👍👍👍
I love watching your installs. You sometimes go overboard a little but you make sure it's done right. Great job!
Your shit is so well thought out your unbelievably talented great work big dog! One day ill pay you a visit lol one day...
That's a sweet setup man. I know you said in the beginning of this build that it wasnt gonna be much, but goddamn that's artwork
Your work is always 100% clean I love it 😎👍
wow man that is a nice looking system. bet it is loud too with 4 high efficiency subs
Who remembers Steve from the Escalade videos 😭😭 Time flies
Awesome build as always Steve. can't wait to see his face when he sees and hears his new system.
So fresh, so clean
The anticipation!!Been following this Build, its reminiscent of what my very first 🔊 install looked like....hook anything I had up, trying to get everything, lol
GreaT set-up Steve, and the follow thrU into the Pride put into EVERY System is beyond words!!
Why not use SMD rca's?
Came to ask this exact question
They are SMD
Omg, who gives a shit
Started watching this episode at work. Finally finishing it. That is badass especially the base you put in now that's professional detail
I’ve been installing for over 20 years and i can really appreciate your attention to detail. Im sure you’re not cheap, but to have a system designed and installed by you would be well worth it...
im very cheap. I am free. I didn't charge him or the last 5 people i did this for. :) thanks man!
And after me its gnna be #6 😃..How bow dat
bring it! hahah jk i need some me time after this (my caddy) :D
For sure i hear ya.. I've definitely been waiting for the V3 build..
Steve, what do you do with all those batteries. You ever want someone to come get em lol. B I'll drive to ya. I need em for my solar install.
i know this series is a few years old but i still love watching it. SMD ❤
That kid you got helping you always looks like he's about to shit his pants when he picks up his side of the box.
Love these videos, been following the whole series. This is A+ building / set-up work for sure. Many props my man.
I'd take a trip to Cali just for an install this clean on my BRZ
There’s just something about 4 woofers (or more) in a horizontal line. I had 4 10s in my Jeep just after high school. It banged
I hope that after this system update he considers some serious paint and body work .
why in the fuck would i do paint and body work to someones car for them just because i gave him a system? How about this "Major"...how about you send me a blank check i will get all the paint and body work done. SMH
meade916 NO NO NO . HE , the owner of the truck ! You're doing more than enough.
ya but if you want serious body/paint work done to the truck, send the check is what i am saying. It's easy to call the shots from your computer (or phone) but harder to pay for it. Want the address to send the money? :)
meade916 you're absolutely right. Perhaps I worded my comment incorrectly. What I'm saying is your work is excellent. I HOPE that he is able to do paint and body. That's all. No negativity at all. I'm not calling shots. I'm just respecting what I see and hoping for the best for the owner of the truck.
Steve man your work is also clean 100% ! Made me nervous though moving the rack over by the Lex. Dont scratch the Lex !
You make beautiful sub boxes bro
I like the little details you put in such as the recesses for the amps on top of the box..excellent work Steve \m/
How much dose a whole set up like that cost labor speakers and subs and box door panels and doors speakers I have a 06 extcab Chevy Silverado and where is your shop located your work is dope man👍
Shits crazy most def a sound/build vet never fails the install with the ideas great work! Badass
This might be a dumb question but I always thought it was bad to put the amps on the a box I did it once with some rubber spacers to try and exorbitant the vibration and it still mess the amp up ?
I thought that.
same question here, i thought i was a mistake but i think you put that gray and blue mix for that reason, i like your videos but i think it will be good if you explain some times why you do some stuff, keep it going your are the best
Michael Guthmiller space is not at a premium here..amps are not small..I always been against amps on the box. But this is a exception..Rob just got to insure his equiptment and the truck..very well I would..
if you build your box solid enough you can mount your amps to it. That "rule of thumb" only applies to people that don't know what they are doing.
this video was already almost 26 min long. No time to explain every detail. If i did that it would be 2 hours and 25 minutes long lol.
Steve’s an artist. It’s pretty amazing watching him work.
Dammit my good sir, you make it look so easy... Love your work!
You’re like the Mr. Clean of car audio. Your work is to die for, truly an art
Great fucking video! another solid masterpiece! Steve meade the fucking legend! Fuck those 48 hating trolls that gave the 👎 probably just mad at their boss audio sound system setup lmao!
Love your videos!!!! Wow clean set up!!!! Looks amazing can't wait to hear that!!!!!!
Have you ever considered hex/torx fasteners instead of philips/posi - they are a lot cleaner to torque and more professional.
lmao is that all you got? had to dig deep for that one huh? lol
The Phillips heads are probably the most easily accessible, both hardware and tool wise. I think manufacturers usually use torx drive screws to deter customers from tampering with special components in their vehicles, like the ignition key cylinder, or the ecm. Most other components are secured with #2 screws.
Sorry I realise you get a lot of trolls, i've watched your videos for years and I get you have a zero-patience attitude towards it these days.
I was offering a genuine and earnest idea as i've worked in industry for several decades now, and with the quality of work you do I just thought some decent A2/A4 grade hex or torx fasteners would positively reflect on your work.
no need for all that. The screws i used are just fine. Torx won't look or perform any better. I have been doing this for several decades myself. Thanks anyway for the "earnest idea" but i am good to go. If you been watching my video's for years like you say you have then you know people will stop the video, zoom in and TRY to find something "wrong" or something they would have done different....all the while not doing anything themselves at all except arm-chair quarterbacking. I'm good bro thanks anyway.
The only downside to the common screwdriver and screws is there is a bunch of different sizes. People use the wrong size, even ifs close, and start to round off the edges of the fastener.
As long as you use the correct tool for the job, it works just fine.
MY FAVE BUILD SO FAR I REALLY ENJOY THIS ONE
Since you are mounting the amps on top of the box, will it damage the amp since there is so much vibration? Just curious.
what vibration? My boxes don't vibrate.
Is meade916 capable of a reply that isn't rude?
I’ve just been told that it wasn’t a good idea. But it could’ve been the bullshit shop that told me.
@TheRattleSnake3145 what the fuck did i say that was "rude"? I said "my boxes don't vibrate"....what in the hell is wrong with you? Are you THAT sensitive? Do you need to change your tampon or something? SMH
might not be a good idea if the box flexes. Like i said, mine don't.
Been following this since day one loving every minute of it keep it up👍
if i was to call this, "audio install PORN" would you get offended? i cant wait to see the finish.
I reckon if you made some brushed steel inserts to go on the SMD logo it would really set the box off. Good work as always!
is it a good idea to add any damping under components when installed on top like that? also that spray! what was that black spray on material , great job man love it
what good would that do? #random. The spray is Raptor bedliner.
Im not sure that why Im aksing, I figured it would protect the boards inside and other components from all that vibration . Thanks for the reply on liner
you really think that's random and an out of this world idea
I got to say, I love to watch you work. This really was my first passion from the late 80's to the early 90's until my back problems. I love all the tools I never had or develpoed yet. Excllect job!
I'm already subscribed, I cant subscribe anymore!
the CNC builds are just so clean it’s unreal
Thats a beautiful box if you dont need a back seat
I'm about to have dinner and Steve drops a 26 minute video. Sit back and relax
$500 truck, $5,000 system.
Cris Thomson we don't know what's next..paint body work...you don't know.and it was a platform for steav to showcase his work you tub hits...THINK BEFOR YOU SPEAK...
so.
It was a joke. I'm sure the guy has big plans for the whole truck. I just sold a 93 Chevy like that one that I drove for 8 years. And yes I do subscribe and watch his videos because I enjoy watching his talents. I have never spoke bad about anyones videos on YT. Just chill out and get more info before you speak up. Thank you.
Beautiful work. I love how the box has the per-drilled out spots for components. Serious question though, if someone were going to want something like this, what is a reasonable range to expect something like this to cost?
no idea but thanks man!
Dude Looks Like Chumlee's brother
Is this all a gift for a friend, like pimp my ride kinda deal. Sorry for that reference. Besides living forever,this is the greatest gift anyone could ever ask for. You da man G.
А что не показал как валит?
This has come so far. Nice.
Mana yang nonton dari Indonesia
Laik👍👍
Awesome work thanks for putting the video together and sharing
They are not even centered in the box
Get your eyes checked you blind bastard. SMH
i know you hit your own like button but i wonder who the other bored with life, dumb fuck hit like too....LOL. Idiot's.
I like watching these videos Steve does because of the craftsmanship he displays, great work bro....
This video is as good as or better than anything on HGTV
Best You Tube automotive sound channel
Really nice attention to detail.
The recessed areas on top of the enclosure for the amps and other stuff, made it look super sweet. Dope asf
Love me some Deftones, great work as always. How talented you are at box building really shows in the videos. You don't hide anything and you don't cut corners. I remember when you got the ufo BTLs for the Tahoe, seems like ages ago now.
Damn that enclosure is CLEAN! The amp rack, dope.
Bro you are the truth . Every bass head wish they had you their hood.
Worth the wait bro, sorry about what happened on Sony vegas. It can be stressful at times haha.
Wow that came out sick can't wait to see the final video
When I seen this on instagram I just said to myself I might have to put that In. Cold ass design. Love that shit.
I love the look. That router is amazing. I like the coating , real clean look. I can't wait to see it all working.
Much respect for the friend you are and your work 👍 loving the beats your son is pushing out!
You the man, Steve! What I'd give to have you touch my cars.
Cool ass video. The man makes it look effortless again.
That’s just badass! Makes me wanna finish my build up NOW! Lol! Nice work as always Steve, always keeping it 💯 I Can’t wait for the next video brother!
Man !!! That's a very well build speaker box 📦 . Your friend will have lots of fun when your done with it. Great video !!!!
Steve don't need to be told,but damn nice job.....clean install
Steve Mead you are pure inspiration in all that you do
Steve... you are the man. Nice to see your installs. Reminds me of “The Fish” back in the 90s. Used to really enjoy seeing his installs.
Keep up the great work with those clean installs. Thanks for what you do brother.
Wish I had some tunes.. in the only money maker in the house so my wife and I go without the “Beat” even though we both love it. Maybe one day you’ll give away a whole system.. “Brain to guts” so to speak. Thanks for your hard work and teachings on mobile audio. If I still installed, would love to be a student. Thanks again to you and the fam... we’ll keep watching.
Denord out!!
Denord Terry hey I'm the only bread winner in my place. Me and my two daughters...check out Facebook marketplace you find some jems I just picked up an re audio sx 15" and a hifonics Brutus with all the wiring for $125 just put up a few bucks a week and keep your eye open. I finally got a bit of bump for the first time in 5 years
i have given away several full systems. I have given away more stuff than anyone in the history of all of car audio combined. Subscribe and you might get lucky someday :) thanks!
meade916 been a subscriber for years watched since the old Honda and the fi's. Don't matter to me if I win anything you have beautiful installs and you push the industry...that's enough entertainment for me any day.
meade916 ok didn’t know. I appreciate you. I thought I was subscribed lol... thanks again for the craftsmanship...
Ren Höek thanks... miss my tunes!!
Man that box looks great, quality work as usual.
Hey meade916, another dope build brother! Have u thought about selling enclosures to customers specs or your recommended specs but only ship the pre fabbed panels n the consumer can put it together? That'd be awesome n I know alot of people would buy from you.
The Dopeness Is Strong with This One!!!
#RealTalk
#SteveIsTheBest
Hey man I really appreciate you being on RUclips I’m only 17 and I’m really deep into car audio and someday I hope to be as good as you
Im a supporter of the Meade movement, your a bass head for life but im definitely seeing a change in content here... its been alot of CNC machine and less down and dirty installs... business is business and that machine makes the green spendie monies i get that but watching a robot cut wood is like watching your washer wash dirty shirts... bring back the O.G. Meade!!!! P.S. take 6 shots of Patron and try saying washer wash dirty shirts 10 times as fast as you can on camera >:) and the cutouts for each component on top of the box is dope a F btw.
if you think the machine did all the work you clearly have not watched the series let alone this video. You guys are fuckin' funny....all upset because i use a cnc machine now....even though i still have to work my ass off to do the rest of the work. smh
meade916
Half these dudes cant even use a damn screwdriver properly. For them to be able to use a CNC would take years of schooling haha
meade916 don't listen to them about the CNC machines. I'd rather you have more time for filming and editing videos for us all to watch and have the machine pay for itself making dust instead of collecting it.
meade916 I could watch that cnc machine all day lol. Clean, perfect cuts every time! It's amazing how people will hate on literally anything...
O.G. installer...this man has truly revamped the scene
God damn this box.. so professional job. Steve I've seen many of your boxes are insane. Exelent work right here.
Your work is so Sick ! I love all your SMD PRODUCTS . I'm going to have a set up with SMD Gauges and terminals one day !
I like that simple design you’ve done there, but equally I love the more complex design you did in your Lexus.
He really goes the extra mile! Really nice work!
MuscleMindConnect extra mile extra dollar. Lol
I just re did my systemic my Sierra crew cab and put 4 12”JL Audio W1V3 wired to one ohm, powered by a Fosgate 1200.1 that tested at almost 1500 watts. Damn near identical set up and wiring.
