this build is NOT done yet. For those people wondering about the roof and the welds. I am sure it is tough welding upside down inside of a vehicle. Regardless, Colt told me he is grinding it all down and doing the body work on the seams. Honestly, even grinding upside down will be a bitch! but it will be even better next time you see it. There is LOTS of stuff they still need to do but brought it out anyway. So save the hardcore judgement, it's a work in progress! If you are a builder, you KNOW. instagram.com/meade916
NOTE: (I'm making comments as I'm watching this for the first time) MAN OH MAN. When the hood popped and I saw the dual alternators!!! This thing could power a city block looks like. And the running of all the wires are perfect. Everything I'm seeing is beyond perfect.
Honestly the use of all the clear acrylic makes this just such a freaking awesome demo build, it's mad how such a simple thing just absolutely makes the build, well that and all the other attention to detail! Stacked acrylic with the LEDs is a great idea too. Can't wait to see it 100% buttoned up.
@@PICKLECREW it's bad when Walmart sell kicker stuff. I'm really knocking it, some people like simple bass. 2 12s in a plain grey carpet box, 1000 watt amp, and a dual double din. Whatever floats your boat. I dont hate on customized builds, its their money and time.
@@exposer77 but what if i use Kicker and you use some other brand...but mine sounds better and is louder? then what? Don't knock Kicker they are still a major player in the game.
Right before my wife got in and steve was still getting a demo we were walking and i stopped and started staring and i was all think hunny i think thats steve meade. Thats fucking steve meade. Then the craziest thing happened and he asked her to do a hairtrick. Amazing day. Amazing show. Love the bloodbath. Colts got an amazing build.
Lucky ! crazy how the roof flexes like that, I cant imagine how crazy that system is. . Trying to make my cnc right now and dealing with alot of the troubles and tribulations. Really seem to be burning me out. when I see the magnificence that these people do as they day to day, gives me the drive to keep on going . There are good days and there are bad days
@@meade916 I clocked 136-137 spl on the regular at IASCA and others back in the day....but whatever. We didn’t have remotes to escape the SPL for “safety” reasons.
@@Whisper_Pickle exactly my point...the systems today do a 136 just slamming the door shut. So that is pretty weak in the current SPL world. We have to have "remotes to escape the SPL" because our shit is actually loud. Also, i am probably older than you and had systems in my rides in the 80's and 90's as well. So i am speaking from experience. Your system was NOT loud enough to hurt you. You just think it was because back then everything seemed loud. Your screeching, distorted highs probably hurt your ears more than your subs. Just like most of todays systems.
There was a few very nasty loud systems in the 90's probably could hang with some of todays top systems. Even some of the low powered setups would kick your ass. Not saying the will rip your head off like todays monsters though. It is a whole different breed today
I tried getting some B2 Rage XL's they were out and didn't know when they would get more so I spent a little more and got DC subs. The rest is a B2. I'm going to do another rebuild next year. I'll either go B2 Rampage or switch to all DC and lvl6 subs. I'm looking for a newer bass rig also. I can never find a vehicle with no sunroof. I never even use them. Back in the day sunroofs were not really a thing. It was a luxury add on. Shoot I never had cruise control or air back in the day lol.
I'm pretty sure that the operator and the front passenger of that truck are in a bullet proof "sunroof" area now LoL. Overkill and well done as usual, that's a crazy truck!! I love it!!
That system is next level clean. B2 FT Absolute W. My dream is to have another C pillar setup in my escalade with a beautiful laminate and acrylic enclosure for my final system.
Damn yall boiz be killing it. I'll make my way up that way soon enuff.... Steve keep em videos coming brotha... Mr c10 n Bobby did good...on that project...
That was a good video, I like the Tahoe especially because I have a Tahoe, and 4 15s on about 15,000 RMS. I'm thinking about doing a wall and I live in Seattle and I'm trying to figure out if I can afford and have the time to have Steve Meade hook my s*** up for me
A special microphone captures without distortion. I love your videos! Congrats! And it would sound so much better on my little speaker box with a 10-inch 250W subwoofer, JBL ST450 and JBL D250 TRIO connected to my computer. I'm one of your fans in Brazil.
Need to swap or dye the sand interior panels and seats for a chocolate leather.. And paint the bare wood.. I think it'd be perfect then. But other than my personal nitpicking that is such a sweet classy build.
When doing a build with this many subs doesn't it make more sense to use subwoofers with a higher BL rating to help compress the air space? I mean, with all the doors open I suppose it doesn't make any difference but these subs are only like 25 BL. I'm aware that's not the only factor and high BL subs often have to trade off low end response a bit but it's a relatively good measure of motor force afaik and low 20s are considered kind of meh when there's 18s out there in the 40s and such. Am I totally missing the mark here or would this build have potentially been higher SPL if they had used a slightly different driver with a stronger motor?
That is probly my favorite that I've seen on your channel Steve ....I only got to 12 inch s series in my 2017 tacoma and it dumps for what it is... but one day I'll have me some more 15's... 🤞

Incredible build, shit was slamming and looking sexy as all hell doing it!
He wasss slappppppping
@@josephlalock8378 you can't tell from this video how much penetration his welds have....LOL.. just sayin'.
This build is absolute madness !! Every times I see builds like this I feel I need to step up my game and I appreciate that more then anything
That Tahoe is sick, that shit hits all the notes hard af and clean.
I like how the front port looks is made to resemble the gately logo
Bass van? Soundman needs a competition 😂🤙
Soundman fell asleep after clowning on everyone
@@iChubbs_81 😂

Exo is gunna win tho.
@@iChubbs_81 omg dude yes 😂😂🤙 respect
Who remembers that time Steve's bass knocked that chick's glass eye out
😂😂😂😂💀
I remember that video, very funny!
WHAAAT?????!!!!!!!??????
This build is over the top. Not into speakers all over doors, but the way he did this is just badass. Whole system kicks ass

1/4 plate looks like it needs a bit of bracing still lol nice
i am surprised it flexed like that myself! You ever held a piece of 1/4" steel plate? that shit is stout.
Needs a stripper pole
@@meade916 Yeah that waa nuts! 😆
Making 1/4" plate flex like that is nuts.
Wow that most have took some real work & time.
That’s real dedication right there. Congratulations on your build.
One of the nicer builds I've ever seen
I love the sound of a 6th order box,it can take every note with no problem,a right box sounds killer.
That is an absolutely, beautiful build!
This thing is just AMAZING! So much effort is in this build and it's beautiful!!
Must be kicker comp users hating with the thumbs down
hahahahahaha... im trying to persuade my buddy to get something other than kicker... lets just say hes stuck in the 90s

Probably the cleanest setup iv seen where it's ban pass and the sunroof setup is dope.
WOW what a build! Those a-pillars are so well made and those staggered mounts on everything is just sick.
That build is beautiful. Very clean
That is so damn beautiful! Great job on the build Colt an Bobby! Thanks for the slap Steve!
FUGGIN RIDICULOUS!! What gorgeous woodwork and fab work! Thanks for sharing this with us Steve!

Yess ! That was intense beautiful setup !
LOL he said that 1/4 metal wont flex and there it is flexing all to hell, LOVE IT
Car audio has come a looooong way since I competed in the 80s and 90s....and my hearing loss is proof
except you didn't loose any hearing from your 80's and 90's system. Not loud enough. Sorry. I'm sure it was awesome and great memories though!

Bobby Gately went all the way with this build. NASTY!
That’s the cleanest build I’ve seen all year super fuckin nice man
That's an incredible build.
Love all this badass machinery 🤙🤙
Steve's got all the cool Tools & Toys to get the job Done 🤘Love your Shop man Great Builds and Awesome videos for people to learn the Car Audio hobby
Mad max sound!
Colt, Steve and Gately Audio killed this build. Slaps so hard 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The things we do for bass.. Just dope
Makes me miss my Tahoe !
Subs ain’t even broken in !!! Brand spanking new .... wow beautiful work ..
@B Mo i am a very nice guy. I just can't help but call out BS comments when i see them. That's all. :)
This build has a classy look to it, very nicely done!
That Tahoe is insanely COOL.🍻
Awesome video Steve. That roof was holding like a champ.
I like that unfinished look on the roof, it looks steely.
That's gotta be the cleanest system on the road. The box, the plexi, the wood. So clean!
The king shows his power again.
Wow. 1/4" plate is FLEXING!!!
Holy mother of god! that set up is unreal!
Bad ass Steve... always bringin that G shit!!!!
I can't wait until soundman sees this! He doesn't even have subs yet lol!
soundmans build is long, probably be finished when he becomes a pensioner
Absolutely incredible build very beautiful
I'm pretty sure that the operator and the front passenger of that truck are in a bullet proof "sunroof" area now LoL. Overkill and well done as usual, that's a crazy truck!! I love it!!
damn even that 1/4" steel was flexing like mad :o Mad respect for that build, that is ART
B2 Audio ftw 🤙🤙🤙💯💯💯👍👍
I wish we had a shop in my area "Texas" that knew their shit like SMD.
That laser cutter is an amazing machine!
Congratulations! What an accomplishment!
That system is next level clean. B2 FT Absolute W. My dream is to have another C pillar setup in my escalade with a beautiful laminate and acrylic enclosure for my final system.
Let's Go Steve!!
That thang is beautiful and have great bandwidth not to mention it's getting down great work
Man, these builders need an experienced welder. Haven't seen a decent weld in years on these rigs
Cool how he has new style tails on it too
What a beautiful build! Sickening
That build is gorgeous!
I don’t even want to think about how much that cost.
That's one beautiful system
Damnnn!! The work that went into that beast !
Lol my wife at the end
Absolutely beautiful build
I cant wait till your next build Steve!!!!!!
Damn yall boiz be killing it. I'll make my way up that way soon enuff....
Steve keep em videos coming brotha...
Mr c10 n Bobby did good...on that project...
That gauge pod is also sick!!
That was a sick build loved it!!!!
That GTR is Sick
Oh my my my my! This is amazing! Steve the 🐐 damn!!
that steel plating didnt hold a chance lol
And that rough look steel is just too crazy, straight out of Madmax
Not only does steel strengthen your bassmobill it also makes it bulletproof..lol
1/4 plate is taking a beating.
I wonder if it would be cost effective to start with a bullet proof vehicle.
A well's Fargo armored truck perhaps lol

Talk about a heavy ride with that steel shew but not rattle canning though
Exo and Soundman need more batteries 😲
My personal opinion, looking at the build is worth close too a half million.
Absolute sickness man, love it.
That is a very sweet build.
Hell of a build!!!! Would love to hear that
That system is clean! Unfinished that shit gonna be dopeeeee
Respect from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 тачка просто бомба 🔥👍
Def not short on mids and highs here
What was the seccond song ?
That system gets DOWN, sick build!
Bass is nuts! Wish I had one
that steel flexs that things got some air moving great build though
Need to swap or dye the sand interior panels and seats for a chocolate leather.. And paint the bare wood.. I think it'd be perfect then. But other than my personal nitpicking that is such a sweet classy build.
That was Hard AF!!!!!!

Very nice, I dont think he really turned it up, cuz dem B2's were hardly movin, hmmm imagine if he did
He didn't even have it all just stood right I'm sure and they weren't even broken in yet
That glass tho Bobby 🤘💪beautiful
