Fiberglassed Door Panels-TESTED- Tahoe System Rebuild Vid 38

a few days worth of work, lots of sanding and still more sanding to go. These will be wrapped to match the interior when finished.

[@vicvar8991]

These videos inspired me to tackle my own doors Steve. You're an inspiration bro.

[@sevenblisters]

Steve, I must say that the most impressive part of your videos is how incredibly patient and professional you are at all times during the rebuild. Kudos and looks fantastic.

[@tsar-bomba2413]

Mand these custom door pods came out so damn good! A lot of work tho, but I learned all the stuff I needed to know it was very helpful,ty bro

[@XxXRascle420XxX]

dude i seriously admire you for this rebuild. i dont think i could ever put so much time and effort into my system. but then again i know how much pride you take in your tahoe. so i honestly dont blame you a bit for any of this. great job the whole way through man.

[@spankavision1]

a wise man once told me: "if your gonna fiberglass, wear clothes you never want to wear again" steve has just illustrated that for us. badass work! cant wait to see em wrapped.

[@TheRemoteMower]

Incredibel presentation ! Hats off now I might do some glass on my mowers

[@onelowx]

You are like the Chip Foose of the audio world. Nice work!

[@k5blazeraudio1]

its awsome to come back to these vids and watch them again for a refresher

[@6chaosphere6]

a shitload of thanks to you meade,i got so many hints and tips from your clips,(oh shit,it rhymed) that ive gone and i rebuilded my entire soundsystem to my car,and probably saved a load of money by doing it myself,using pretty much the same techniques you use.maybe the outcome is not as professional as yours,but still,im enjoying the sound and the look,thanks again dude,keep up the good work

[@thejhambi]

Awesome work man. I love watching videos like this because the sanding goes by in like 2 seconds instead of how long (and tedious) it takes when you are having to do it.

[@trmannikko]

dude you do the best work i have seen yet you are the man steve

[@RYDENROAM72]

Hey Steve great job. i love watching all of your vids and new ones that comes out. the best one so far i loved was that german sub that you tested when you stood on it. that was insane. but again thanks for a great video, i have learned a lot from you, Mark @ Car Audio Fabrication and Exo Exo contralto. you guys have given me more to look forward to do more projects on my 85 Isuzu. there are many that i have to build from scratch and then follow your vids. Great Job Steve.

[@Jason_Voorhees.]

Its so awesome you share all these tips and take us along for the ride ....... You have tought me so much more about car audio , thank you bro

[@JavierDuque]

Damnnnn steve, nice job dude, those door panels look awesome, we´ll be waiting for the wrapping, good luck!!

[@chazm89]

god damn steve, the way you work is just fuckin flawless. You dont miss anything and it really shows. Those panels look sick

[@wanshei]

Hey man i have been fabricating shit for decades fender wells, front ends, tails etc. Even built kit cars from the frame up and THIS is TOTALLY AWESOME, Top drawer professional looking - all that!

[@RailManSD]

thats a hell of a process all just for beat, thats how we do haha awesome vid steve

[@chuckbuttons0699]

I was really impressed when watching this take shape. I'd love to try it, but I don't quite have the juevos to start hacking at my door panels, but now that I bought a little cheap 2nd work truck, I may have to try this. as soon as you showed it from the inside with the door closed, that thing looked like factory or aftermarket panels you'd pay out the ass for. very impressed, keep it up!

[@erikman89]

finally fiberglassed!!! looks awesome!!!!

[@Cypriotkiller]

OH MY GOD AMAZING! Love all your work Steve!

[@joker0x0]

your a very hard worker man, nice job!

[@enkz0r]

Fiberglassin' is fun! Just wanted to tell you that I think your work is awesome, the soundsystems you build is insane, skullcrackin' bass is the way I love it! Hehe, I got to get registered on your forum now! Keep up with the good work man. Best wishes, Victor from Sweden.

[@meade916]

@6chaosphere6 word up bro, thank you for the message, its comments like these that keep me going!

[@Salathiel03]

MAN I WISH I LIVED ON THE WEST COAST I WOULD PAY YOU TO DO MY TAHOE!!!! AWESOME JOB STEVE !! OPEN UP SHOP ON THE EAST COAST

[@kevindunlap4877]

Looks great!! The total finish is great to! How u get the panel to stay on there? Looks like the plastic clips would break from all that vibration.

[@meade916]

thanks everyone!!!!

[@XXCOLINXXX]

wow your so professional looking sweet :D

[@meade916]

just using fleece is GENERIC. I would not trust my doors or anything else with just fleece. Fiberglass is a must if you want it to last.

[@donbehatin]

Seems to sound better than the mids and highs in the Escalade. LOTS more midbass and midrange. Lot clearer too.

[@civic18INtreo]

nice! nice! had to write nice twice cause its nice great job

[@meade916]

@porkchop976 you mean the "kitty hair"? its for strength and also to keep it from warping.

[@SwiftyFlixz]

bout time u got a new vid man

[@alejandrobuller2073]

Old school but still nice bro....

[@skull7281]

those are bad ass look good

[@meade916]

@Bob Jones Ok i LITERALLY stopped reading after your first sentence. I told you NOT to sound foolish or silly. You apparently do not know anything about car audio. PLEASE educate yourself before ever posting here again. I will help educate you real quick. The kick panels are the BEST location in the car for your mids/highs. There, you learned something today. Placing the speakers near your "head level" is the WORST place you can put them. Sorry to tell you that.

[@drewkang34]

nice doors bro

[@TheBoss8521]

dude this is like the 8th time ive watched this playlist and every time i do i go and take my car apart, then realize, i dont have ANY of the stuff i need to do this

[@harzyk1]

Good one.

[@vladimirjonik]

RESPECT!!!!

[@densj84]

You are a God bro

[@davidlarue5713]

Awesome, I noticed you had Q- forms in the kick panels, did you ever put anything in them?

[@xXHalfieXx]

So. Much. Work.

[@JacobBennett45]

amazing

[@ReggyRay289]

Good call.

[@DontScatter]

thats fuckin sick man! your a car audio genius

[@bocaj3400]

How much smaller than the rings do you make those blanks?

[@syphon901]

chili cheese fritos. only the best. good jib on those panels.

[@kendigjl]

FIY for anyone thinking of connecting their sander to their shop vac - 25 feet of sump pump hose from the plumbing section of LOWES or HOME DEPOT = $10. Fits both the vacuum intake and the orbital sander discharge port. works just as well as Shop vac hose = $40 for 10 feet.

[@fbmowner]

Does it make a big difference if the door speakers are in sealed enclosures rather then just leaving the back open like you have?? Im going to make fiberglass pods for my 6.5's but theres alot of air space in the door once the panels are on. Im afraid its going to mess with performance so i mite make a back to them so the speakers are sealed up.

[@Notcarver]

that is freakin awesome. im thinkin of doin a similar thing but with only 1 or 2 speakers. roughly how much was all the resin and fiberglass and stuff? also how do the tweeters stay in? i couldnt see any screws or anythin?

[@ClumsyCars]

are there going to be speakers in the kick panel as well?

[@sandcrab70]

Yo, Steve amazing build bro and amazing car... i have a question im looking to get door speakers for my truck and im looking at rockford fosgate speakers but idk what type to get (prime, punch, or power) which type would give a good clean sound that can handle being played load... btw the speakers are ganna be 6x9s and 6 1/2s.. thanks bro

[@boogdennard]

hey man the doors look grate but whats the reson for the chop an the matt ? i have seen ppl use just fleece befor

[@mattinmo]

that's alot of work, cheaa
