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.

the reaction was priceless! I will have that video ready to go in a day or so! I swear he has been out driving and slapping his new shit all day long! i love it! This was a fun build. Yes it took a long time but i am a very busy person. I did this on the side and i did it for free all while triple and quadruple tasking at my shop with my normal daily responsibilities. If this was my only job (installing) it would have been done a lot faster. In the end, it was totally worth it after seeing his jaw drop when that first bass note hit! Subscribe and don't miss that episode coming next! Thank you all for watching the entire series if you did!

Where can I get a box like that for my Chevy.

[@joeycameron4744]

I like that idea of using heat shrink as a wire management tool. Looks much better than just a zip tie.

[@vesa6293]

i agree

[@icarusrising728]

Wow!! That SM guy is such a jerk!! So typical... Some poor guy drops off a dope install with a custom Home Depot 'Bucket as a Box' set up and this SM guy gets all jealous and just wrecks his truck!!! I for one hope that Karma catches up serves this SM guy what he deserves

[@dashcammayhem]

Icarus Rising you're a dumbass...

Alex person u dont know It's sarcasm.

Awesome work Steve 😎👌 very clean setup love it I wish I could hear it in person ..

[@ralphbeesley6794]

Your work and just the precision of all you do is amazing I wish you or someone on your level was in chicago cuz I don't know of anyone here with a cnc and their own brand killing the market

[@JustinKirby]

Meade. Hang the fuck on just one second here. That is one sexy fucking install.

[@phild12pd]

Sound system- $20000.00 Truck - $1500 Bumping ass system- PRICELESS

[@MrMaxyield]

Killer install once again Meade... Your boy Rob is lucky and I'm sure very grateful to call you a friend...!!! Good shit man... Can't wait to see what you got in store for the escalade tt...!!!

[@PrivateCustard]

I love the fact that you were just going to sort of fix it up for him.......and your 'just fix it' is better than most peoples best!

[@robbymilligan9639]

So what you will always have alittle bit of rattle somewhere with a system. Steve keep up with the awesome work 2 thumbs up . Stop the hating !!!!!! Ps Steve you are good friend to help out your friends with there cars and NOT ask them for NOTHING.... Alot of guys be like f#ck you pay me ... Steve keep it up love what u do and for U haters F#ck off !. Steve keep it slapping

[@RYTHMICRIOT]

Who needs Pimp My Ride when you got Steve Meade as a friend?!!

[@SuperFluffyfluff]

I'm glad to be streaming this to my home theater tonight haha neighbors aren't so happy that it's late in the evening.....

[@meade916]

you gotta sub hooked up? report back on some of those beats in the background, ESPECIALLY the heater in the middle :D thanks Fluff!

[@SuperFluffyfluff]

meade916 it was great, got a older bose acoustimass on a denon receiver. Its small, but in a small apartment it bangs well

[@datguy8408]

Beat the brakes off that truck

[@OFFTHEGRIDGAMING325]

Robby sent me a video this morning of him Slapping some bass! Thanks for hooking my brother up Steve!!!

[@meade916]

no prob! it was fun! :)

[@Lukedawg1984]

Nice!!!! Clean ass install brother! 👍🏻I’d be happier than a pig in shit to have that setup! Can’t wait to finish mine!

[@pyrolinn2088]

Im over here in West Sac, I think I heard that shit hittin!!

[@WmSDmSPrS3]

System worth 3x more than the truck

[@meade916]

dude. You drive a fucking 06 civic with the muffler removed. This system is worth at least 2x more than your car too. So what is your point? LOL

[@rickr5205]

🙈😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@TheBeerBox80]

It looks okay, but not as good as that sweet 5 gallon bucket. All joking aside, that box and amp rack are sick af.

[@GabrielAcosta-er1bw]

whats the song @15:00

[@bassheadforeverclub]

I wanna see this guys reaction

[@buckyflex1]

Sick lady liberty tat what a wonderful country we live in that a guy like Steve can take his skills n passion and build a successful business and reputation the fact that he pays homage to that makes me respect him that much more.

[@joeanady6873]

Watching this makes me so much more confident on what can be done with 1k~1.5k As always Steve Meade FTW

[@carmelo1966]

I have watch quite a few channels about auto audio but none like this. Iv'e been binge watching since yesterday.

[@bigwhite206]

Am I the only one who misses the soldering jobs Steve has done?

[@YourWorstNightmare6969]

What’s the song at 15:00?

[@fataldreams2]

Would love a copy of them beatz

[@killernukem5914]

Steave Meade should change his name to Steve Clean because every build he does is so damn CLEAN

[@colvilletribe2383]

No haters yet

[@pop1000000000]

whats the song at 14:45 ?

[@Redlinedsierra765]

What id like to know is with all the time and effort he puts into making the boxes perfect with a cnc router and everything why he cant use a simple wire ferrel on the amp terminals for the power wires? Just my thoughts on it though other than that awesome install!!

[@migueetri5094]

whats the song @3:31 ??

[@heavyq]

Yeah we need the track name. That shit bumps. My Audio Technicas were sounding reaaaaaallly good.

[@raishondodson2503]

🔥🔥🔥

[@benzboston]

this guy is so talented.a true craftsman.question,is that thick of wire really that necessary?

[@floydbeard5073]

benzboston more juice to the amplifier's. I use 0 gauge on my amp and 8 gauge for my sub wire.

[@stevencastro8466]

So many SMD plates and no ilumination for them, i wouls have installed a transister as a switch, just to add an LED to each plate, have and iluminated plexiglass

[@meade916]

why are you telling me what you would have done when you have never done anything in your life? i just looked at your home made speaker, that don't count. SMH LMAO what in the fuck? hahah

[@stevencastro8466]

meade916 Wow, putting me on the ground just for that comment, my intention wasnt insulting you , i was just giving a my honest opinion so ure SMD emblem would look better. That speaker box i mad was years ago with things i had laying around, Not everyone has the tools and money to make a good looking system Related to ure: "youve never done anything in your life comment" : Right now i have 2 assosiates degree in electrical and electronical engeneering

[@savingstumps]

I wish I had these videos back in the day to watch, when I was still doing this stuff. It was a lot of trial and error for me. Mostly errors, and even worse, my sound never came out good. Good job dude.

[@mrchrisk36]

Chevy trucks are notorious for nasty loud roof flex and it don't take much to do it

3:30 What song is that?

[@andresmoreno.1974]

Nice bro, i like it

[@fernandosantos3993]

hello all well my name is fernando and I would like to know how much is in the value of this box with all the assets of the i and the amplifiers

[@TheCompleteConfusion]

Very late to the party. But I never thought of using heat shrink that way to huddle everything together. Much cleaner then tiny zip ties. Might have to start doing that from this point forward

[@willianordonez4332]

Steve, your amp rack wiring is straight cable porn man. You do some damn good work. If I ever win the lottery I'm gonna have you build me a stereo for my car.

[@meade916]

thanks man!

[@richardmartin6533]

Steve, on the next amp dyno test / reveal. How about showing the bottom of the circuitry board (guts) and examine all the soldier points for the caps, mosfets and transformers. I'd like to see how well the new amps are slapped together.

[@meade916]

already do that. Might want to watch the video's.

[@jessygutierrez9286]

@meade916 how do can i get the same set up on my 06 chevy silverado crew cab

[@Spachia]

Jessy Gutierrez sure for about 10 grand. Roughly.

[@Compton2952]

3:25 I followed instructions. Off an 8 inch Logitech sub with 6: 3/2' surround sound. Running on a Dell XPS desktop. Had my singlewide humbled home shaking. Good shit ! This build is super clean, Mr. Meade #SMD

[@alcolacarter3172]

Man this dude is a beast I wish he was down my area

[@alanray2446]

very clean install . nice work as allways. loved these vids. on this build , You are the best friend a BASSHEAD could ever have . BASSHEADS FOR LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gassedupgarage65]

He got all that heat shrink and no ferrules 😂

[@VICE1385]

IM SAYIIIN

[@meade916]

don't need ferrules. These inputs are designed to be used with wire. What are you laughing at? you have never used or had a reason to ever use them. Now THAT is funny!

[@meade916]

@@VICE1385 what are you saying? Hector who has never hooked anything up. You both are too funny trying to judge what i do from your couch ain't never touched a wire in your life. LOL i'm just sayin' haha

Wish I knew what song was playing @14:30

[@RoaringOrange]

No wire terminals on 4:46?

Kirill Prokopenko they are terminated by the amp plugs.

[@jbird3223]

Listening to this on my Focal headphones. Do have all focal speakers in truck and a 10 inch sundown. Headphones sound just as good. I like your attention to detail with your install. Great video.

[@tremainsmith6352]

First of all.all that is not need in real life im just telling the Truth ⭐🌙

[@meade916]

your post sounds like you been huffing spray paint. Stop liking your own comment, you have no friends in real life or on youtube.

[@herbyverstink]

videos of these type are so immensely satisfying..that green car,psyph's car,brandito's hoopty..its like aural restoration

[@leonelhernandez1928]

nunca has tenido inconvenientes al ligar cables de cobre y de alumino es una misma instalacion ?

[@916horse]

Basshead porn lol bad ass Steve !! My headphones 🎧 he’ll ya steve 👍🏻👍🏻

[@nightmarecoins8265]

Man i wish i could afford a system like that but with my dads doctor bills i just have to wait i want to get 3 dc subs maybe on my wish list lol

Hacia varios días estaba estaba esperando el final de esa instalación. steve que siente ser unos de los mejores en audiocar saludos desde argentina

[@dwrightproductions8281]

Crimpin ain’t easy💯

[@gibbles717]

I like the crossovers for the highs ran right off the amp and each speaker receiving its own wire. Gonna revamp my setup with this wiring style. Thx for the motivation.

[@charlesloyd1970]

Steve you do great work already but damn that set-up was clean. Love that box and how it was laid out. It went from a turd to a diamond. Great job!!!

[@951mendoza96]

Psyph need to spit some lyrics on anthonys beats!👍😎

[@anonymousmc7727]

should have went with the w7 its the only sub.........

[@suzukiman650]

Nice to see you doing straight crimps without soldering as well, unlike some other Tubers. Keep up the fine work, Mr. Meade.

[@meade916]

i solder or i crimp depending on what the job calls for or how i feel that day. thanks!

[@clutch2014]

What is the name brand on the huge wire crimper?

[@k_koldworld7901]

I may have missed in between the series but did you do another alternator and is the d3400 the only battery

[@a1duzit]

Gah damn I love when you do that shit. Nice clean custom setup

[@samwoodward9817]

This is straight up giving me ideas for my new system. Just a quick question, are we ever gonna see the Tercel or Civic again? I liked the builds on those, and it’d be cool to see them again.

[@rickr5205]

Awwww yea boiiiiiii...Whos next?...IM NEXT!!!

[@miguelmorales7197]

Hey man I’m in South Carolina how do I fined audio people like y’all that are so precise with components because here is simply get the box get the subs get the amp wire it up and tune the amp that’s it I would love get my set up maximized to its full potential I built my own box but I know it’s all wrong I don’t even know the tuning frequency I need people like who have this down to a science I love you guys need some help

[@thomasknight9457]

Miguel Morales I know of a shop in Bristol va (custom enclosures)another bass head Cole Morris works at. Some beautiful installs there as well

[@carlj5969]

Hey steve I was wondering if you have seen the new klein wire strippers that have the build in crimper as well as the screw cutters and jaws like a set of linesman pliers? It seems like they would be perfect for you when hooking up smaller wires

[@keithgolden9760]

I really enjoyed this series hopefully you will be able to do more like this

[@datruthhurts6667]

Mannnnnn these beats are fireeeeeeeeeeee got damnnnnnn

[@iiTzMlke]

i Have always been a huge fan of how clean you love to run your wires and everything. It's just so pleasing to watch. One of the main reasons i love to watch these kind of build videos from you.

Hey Steve is there a benefit to soldering ring terminals? I see you do it but not all the time.

Bad choice of words "Pop a fuse in". That's what got you into this project in the first place! LOL
