FIRST RIDE, IT SLAMS! 4 18's Tahoe System Rebuild Vid 28

today was the maiden voyage.....its not the best footage but it was late and i am all but done for the night! More vids to come but i also have more work to do to. At least i got the first ride out of the way and of course, it SLAMS!!!

[@FectoReviews]

What a journey. Thanks for lettin us tag along Steve. Amazing outcome hands down.

[@spankavision1]

your sons expression says it all! i really wanna hear it for myself @1.4ohms and .7ohms..... Great Job!

[@iHuDxRanDoM]

I cant wait to see your kids rides when there older bro, i wish i had a dad like you.

[@Flashpoint922]

LOL @ 4 12's being "tiny" Just shows how nuts and awesome Steve's systems are. Good luck with yours too.

[@Drudoo21]

Love it man. I got 12's in my truck and watching this video wants me to go bigger. Keep it up!

[@meade916]

there are lots of amps that are good out there but Rockford is the brand for me and they have proven why over and over again.

[@meade916]

thanks!! i couldnta done a LOT of stuff without his assistance!! he is very smart too and learns quick!

[@buickboy1972]

I absolutely LOVE the smile on your young lads face!!! Great job as usual Steve.

[@ulrisa]

Nice work man. I am always amazed at the quality of your installs, I wish I had such craftsmanship lol. That set up is just awesome.

[@SaucyBegger25]

i don't even know much about car audio and it seems i understand more than you. the port is tuned to 30 hz i think or 32 hz and its not flush with the door, he has batteries in front with a shelf sort of top over them that gives a clearance of about 11" from the door. he knows what to do to get the most out of these subs. if he didn't it would be a waist of his time and money which quite clearly isn't the case here. good work Steve, keep it loud my man!!!

[@meade916]

yup, last i checked, stereo systems, whether its in your house or your car, have been around since the dawn of electronics. Some of us just go big thats all. Thats like you saying "people still drag race? i remember that was big in highschool" LOL -

[@meade916]

the less money you have, the more it looks like a waste. I agree. When i was broke, a piece of candy was a waste.

[@omgyd17]

I'm kinda like you now in the days of the civic Steve, I have hopes of being at your level in five years. Car audio has been a passion of mine for awhile now. I like you involve your family...maybe one day someone will be commenting on me. Much respect from TX.

[@palleyjr]

the reason i like this system is because even with so much bass u can still hear the treble=excellent!

[@wayj2002]

Steve kicking ass again Sounds sweet. I wish I lived in cali I'd be @ your house every day that's how much I like bass peace bro

[@meade916]

thanks man!!! nice to hear from you all the way in the Philippines!

[@James88215]

I agree with Steve. Nothing you just said makes any since at all. Steve does awesome work!

[@meade916]

someday man! this SMD thing has gone worldwide many times over since it started so who knows what my future holds or where i might go visit! If i go to greece, you better show up and shake my hand! :)

[@backinbass]

I cant understand so many ppl hatin? Steve loves what he does and people should respect that!. Im a car audio lover myself and I respect the time steve used to even make his vids so we can enjoy them here on youtube. IF you dont like his work or his hobby dont watch his fucking vids! Good to see ya bumpin again steve, keep it comin!

[@thereason222]

yea ohms are a measure of resistance. the lower the ohm load, the more power you get to a point. If you wire to a load lower than an amp can handle, then it fries

[@thekartracer29]

dude you are the best father in the world!!!!!!!! your son is so lucky!

[@fatboik11]

man, what a great dad tellin his kid to plug his ears so he doesnt go deaf when he gets older :) :)

[@rekt_n_line]

And here I was thinking I was cool with my 300w amp, and then I watch this video with Steve having 1000x the power in his Tahoe... sweet Jesus I love these videos :D awesome work man!

[@ph1ldav1sFROSTED]

Damn Anxious to See Those Amp At .7 Ohm DAMN SERIOUS WORK OUT THERE Thumbs Up Steve Always Quality job!

[@ILLTOWN420]

never seen a box in my life go in like that !!!!! props

[@meade916]

thank you, all the way from California USA! :)

[@bigmcchevy]

What's up where can i get a box made like that bro i need it for my tahoe

[@meade916]

bro, anyone who is good people is welcome to come and see me and check out everything i have.....stay tuned and when its all done, if you wanna come thru, we can arrange it :)

[@ThOrnton42421]

Bass can put a smile on anybody's face

[@burninruber60]

deddedr is right if you are smelling something its the coils in the woofers getting too hot, and to be exact its the resin on the coils that is burning and what you smelling from the coils being too hot because you are passing too much current through the coils, and as said before just turn down your gain a little bit and youll be golden, on a side note if you dont turn them down eventually the coils will get too hot , and short out

[@hemhemimakatekobum]

Cute lil dog I hope he loves bass too. It must be awesome having some massive bass again I know what it feels like going a while without bass and it isn't good.

[@grumpyson2510]

its amazing steve what you do. I love what you do and everything that you share with everyone great job

[@meade916]

only covered up 4 and part of 2....the other 5 are easily seen when i drop the seat - thanks though man!

[@meade916]

replay it was still processing....i do need a new cam though this one is 2 yrs old now

[@cr8silverbullet]

I was taking a drink of my water when I saw your dog in the cone and I laughed and spit it all over the place lol. Great video by the way.

[@poisonblader]

Steve those things slamm! Excellent as usual. Keep bumpin man 5*

[@rboetsma]

Funny your son was like yea right dad plug my ears... Oh he did. Probably as an involuntary physical reaction too. Haha!

[@Digitalme1984]

Congrats on gettin the rebuild done. Maybe this time you can get 2 eyes to drop to your floorboard lol. Look forward to more reactions steve. Great job.

[@zycan]

lower ohm's translates into lower voltage which results in an increase in current passing through the system.

[@lifelikeweeds819]

Thanks for posting these vids. It keeps me inspired to keep working on my shit.

[@matrixownz]

hahaha i love ur sons face when u crank up the bass keep em coming steve awsome shit

[@chazm89]

2:35 hypnotize by jeezy, that song slams. Congrats steve, i been followin the rebuild since vid 1 and im so glad it turned out as sick as it did. 5/5 as usual

[@TreachourusJdogg]

haha. Damn Steve, im glad that you are back up and bumpin. When you were going for that last ride, i was lookin at all the houses goin by and couldn't help but think about how many people you were wakin up by knockin shit off their walls. Keep bumpin man (I know you will)

[@Willylsxperformance]

it lives again steve!!!....its sounding nice bro!!..for being FLAT it sounds nice!!..keep up the amazing work man..

[@meade916]

@fallbrookchris i use very large screws. T-Nuts wont work in this situation. Thanks for the advice though LOL

[@JemuelPaulino]

hey Steve I'm from Philippines i watched your series videos of your system rebuild and its so awesome, i wish i could ride and hear that loud and clear, hehehe LOL, i will ride it with no doubt , hahaha...

[@yamaha833]

Kudos on the new set up it sounds clean and loud, good job to u n jeff

[@eckzztha]

Dude steve this stuff is insane mannnn. I learned so much stuff from your videos thanks alot and i love your work.

[@bxchavoq]

I've got the same soldering iron. It's badass.

[@04cdias]

the dogs like "ahhh no, imma die if he turns these on!"

[@steveo001staug]

Damn man I wish u would come down here lol. But someday i hope to here that system up close. ive always loved cars but ur the man who made me wanna work on car audio. ive watched all ur videos at least 3 times each. Thanks for everything: Steven

[@bassboylowg]

Great to see the system live man! I bet it slumps hard as hell, even tho it banged hard before!

[@NM31]

props on the great upgrade. Very nice clean work as usual.

[@meade916]

@indiangolfer09 i dont know who told you that but they were lyin to you bro LOL! not to say i wouldnt love to but thats just a weeeee bit too far of a drive from California. I wish i could get you in the Tahoe though, someday!

[@ClumsyCars]

"it's going to be stupid dumb" directly from steve himself

[@mrchrisk36]

lookin good steve you do work thats for shure Im goin to have to make the drive up see my parents in roseville and come over to sac and get a demo

[@theraspberryman]

that must've been alot of hard work!! but it payed off!!

[@meade916]

@cripoutloc i knew you would love it! I love mine'z bro!!

[@dose17]

its NEVER loud enough!!! MORE POWER!!!

[@lilbbgambini22]

yo much love to u n all ur designs homie..dnt worry about the youtube haters man any one with the right state of mind can clearly see that these systems r the best of the best!

[@LikeToStayFresh]

it depends on what kind they are and how much rms and wattage they can handle

[@Tunerboy8732]

Damn never it could get any better.

[@SLAYER1805]

Was the pressure from the 18's too much for the T-nuts? I'm just asking because youre using them in the SMD 15 build for the Lexus to hold the sub in

[@ceddyced31]

damn those fosgates sounding super clean

[@extremechevyman]

very nice man. I cant wait to get my two RD D9s & 4 15''s in my s-10. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AN KEEP YOUR VIDEOS COMIN

[@baconnbootyy]

Very Nice! Sounds super clean! Well done, end of question-lol

[@FAMOOSE]

Looking good bro glad to see you got some beat back finally.

[@pimpinainteasyyoyo]

THE BEAST LIVES!!!...good work steve

[@notredame2191]

your a cool ass dad...keep doin what you do man

[@meade916]

god damn right.....and you get to DEAL with it too, how you like them apples?

[@pstchaseki]

It's been a while since I used to be into sound systems but do you still have to change out your back windows to plexi and re-tighten your bolts after each ride?

[@jesseadkins187]

ahhh shit the BEAST is up and cracking concrete again!! thats what i like to see...

[@meade916]

thanks bro!!

[@mattkeeler]

When you wire up some thicker leads to the sub woofer from the amp wont that provide less resistance and more current to the sub woofer?

[@JMoore4291]

steve: "What do you think bud?" kid: "It's loud" steve: "It's loud?" kid: "yea" steve "cool"

[@Bassgangsta17]

bro i like the way u set this up,, i wish i could hear it man.. i bet it sounds awesome lol.

[@scottdavenport2967]

Finally!!!! Been waiting for this.Long time coming.Great work Steve !!!

[@stride7860]

I started laughing when it went off, in a good way. it was that good i was like "Holy crap -laughs-"

[@meade916]

it amazes me the sound i get out of 4 18's in a square box too LOL! Theres a little more to it then just being a box but either way 1,000 watts and 2 12's will never do what this does so i guess you will never be impressed.....then again you never experienced my shit in person.

[@mikeladder]

Great work, I love your projects.. Ive never seen anything like them! I got a Jbl GTO 1200.1 rms amp and 1 stroker 15" but ide like to move up someday haha.. maybe 4 storker 18's or something ;-)

[@brianwurst1234]

Sponsored by Hifonics and US amps. 152.8 in a 101-250 watt class in 1994 is this level.

[@tastedfra]

there both amazing subwoofers in my opinion

[@BadcatFX]

lol.. yeeah i waited all day myself! its 1 am and was worth it. Cant wait to see new subs and demos, Nice work man!

[@FattyBoemBoem]

That dog is so cute xD

[@meade916]

the point is to piss you off, and it worked. I win!

[@Mr.JDawg357]

cant wait to see it after the final adjustments

[@dantezwojtylko8429]

I would love for you to hook a system in my truck. Love your vids man.

[@itzjonah]

Sounds amazing man! its good to hear your system running again! i love watching your videos and its been really cool to get to watch you rebuilt your system as you go. cant wait for the new subs!

[@monera9675]

:D dam strait hitting the 0.5 ohms here:D i got my v900XD class X amp wires 2 l7's down to 0.5 ohms crazy burps! , YES it does 0.5 but only for burps no daily driver!

[@YeaImCountry]

i like that..you got it beatin real good..

[@Thatoneguy691]

i uesd to have some DD sold them with my car i miss them like crazy they was 12s they was the 500 s i had a 800watt DD amp pushing them i like your set up it makes you feel stupid crazy lol

[@CLiP8907]

Good Shit Meade.. can't wait for the (real deal) when you make the adjustments

[@dollphinspirit]

I knew I heard some pound from the north of me that systems hitting hard....

[@rookiey65]

[@freee2rhyme]

[@WOBBMIKE]

[@mallebrazum]

YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Finaly! I mist that beat in my ears!

[@laguna4video]

what you do is amazing, i just wish i could learn to do all of this. a true inspiration for bass and car lovers out there, any chance you could make a playlist of banging bass songs? that one you was playing was the shit bro

[@ageslave]

HOLY SHIT THAT IS AMAZING i bet that could crack a winshield

[@dieric1b]

@vita650 From what steve said you can power 2 Rockford amps together and make one a "Master" amp and one a "Slave" amp
