I had to test it before i could decide where the amp rack will go and also before i finish it. He wants it bedlined so i will probably bedline it. It sounds good though!

[@russellbluewolf6427]

alot of the folks out here for some reason point the woofers toward the trunk in their rides and have the bass so loud it rattles stuff..if i ever build a system i'm gonna do what you did in this video and test different positions first..Learn something new every day..

[@Tlloyd56]

Man, I’m gonna stop watching the videos till your done with the series. To much anticipation! Love builds like these

[@iprincecharmbp]

Man good job bro, ima plan a trip to come down and work for you for a few days just to be a extra helping hand in the lab so i get to work with the mad scientist..Hell even if its just gluing a piece of wood together bro..

[@RockfordF150Bass]

When Brandido make's the face you know that be slapping!!! 😂👍👍

[@clearme2]

Steve's heart is as big as his system. His boy is going to really appreciate what he has done for him . Every day he drives it will be a constant reminder 🤘

[@Mrkdog8081]

Looks like you have to second skin the roof and quarter panel's

[@rlsands1997]

been watching for literally years and years and somehow you just keep getting better, the shop looks bigger, brand is expanding, its just so cool to see the constant growth brotha. thanks for delivering for over a decade

[@Mani-aX]

love that you go through the effort of testing the position of the box. thanks for the video!

[@douchebag1415]

I could use a friend like you Steve good work bro

[@molloyvader]

Please find some way to include the bucket oh bass into the final build

[@meade916]

i already broke it hooking it up to the Raven 15k amp haha...i thought it would be a dramatic video and be good for youtube but it just broke and broke fast. Very uneventful haha! No smoke or anything, it broke before it could burn :D

[@DabearzGold]

Man, This build is getting wicked seeing it come together.

[@DuranMedine]

That '92 Chevy is going to be hitting hard with them subs in no time, I'm making some progress with my '98 Chevy 1500. Keep up the good work.

[@joeymerrell8585]

I had same truck back in the day. 4 Orion original xtr 15's firing forward on a 2100 hcca. This build brings back a lot of old memories.

[@shawnbroyles8274]

Brando makes the best faces when it hits!!!!

[@peteypeedi973]

Shawn Broyles Word.....the one time he doesn't look like he's about to shit on himself lol

[@andrevarnava6115]

I love that ending! "They'not even moving and it's just..." lmao!

[@runningbull6178]

From bucket to bad ass👍🔊👍🔊👍🔊

[@brs5490]

I'm more of a sq guy. I have a 94 c1500 that's getting 4 10s. 2 behind the rear seat and 2 under the rear seat. And hopefully when I'm finished you can't see them at all. I also have a double din in the dash. Metra makes the kit. Love it.

[@meade916]

how is that "SQ"? lol

[@trainmanjosair]

Man his Facial expression @11:50 Tells the Whole story about what it Sounds, n Feels Like! Like Xscape said: "Feels So Good, Feels SO GOOD!

[@898doffo]

I am amazed, the same 40 churro suckers haven't came here to thumbs down the video by now lol!! No worries, by tomorrow the low lifers will thumbs down this video. Keep up the good work Meade!!

[@robertessley8281]

Hell yeah, keeps getting better. Can't wait to his reaction when he gets it back.

[@7287287]

I love these videos. I need the space in my single cab truck. I have a low profile wedge. I would love to see you compare low profile subs and build a killer single wedge.

[@suzukiman650]

Steve, do you use a specific software package when designing your ported boxes to get the port sized appropriately? WinISD?

[@richiefromcanada4823]

U Guys are gonna blow your o ring one of these days carrying like that lol

[@richiefromcanada4823]

Man . That sounds painful . Best of wishes ,

[@audio_phil]

When do you test the Soundigital 20K???? I have been waiting for 1 month for it 🙈🙈

[@kevinnkadeslowrideraddicti216]

That is hella sick MEADE...I agree, subs facing fwd port as far back as possible..anxious AF for the next Episode...

[@kevinAuman1]

I'm liking em forward too because he can still have some storage space on top of the box maybe and bonus it sounding better that way!

[@tx.q.b.k.5124]

So far I don't see no one doing it better then this guy as far as custom install so I'm sure it's number one on you tube. Jeep up the good work.

[@terrancedesormeauxjr2559]

Damn siri was tryna help out😄

[@jmathis3]

Brando looked like he herniated about 3 discs and blew his groin out moving that box. 😂. Steve you gotta feed that boy if you keep making these big ass boxes!🤘🤘🤘

[@meade916]

bro...he eats like a fucking horse. I don't know where it all goes haha thanks man :D

[@shanemc5136]

if he eats too much then that's the reason he's so weak. lol

[@PRIZM_LOCK]

LMAO! Steve, you always play the serious face from day one...but i can see you are smiling with joy from the inside on this build...almost like a child that just got a new video game system :D just cant wait to play with it :D I love it.

[@gabin551]

great job bro,always a pleasure watching every video.

[@DrummerBoii1411]

Daaaamn. 5.43am in the UK. Can’t get enough of Steve’s builds though. 😊

[@johnnyyates9548]

I had an 02 silverado and subs up ported up was best for spl.....i did end up porting to the drivers rear door sub up however and it was very musical tuned at 34hz.

[@mikeyj5383]

Going to need a good Alarm system in there for ur boy!!!

[@LJcustomdragbikes]

Looks clean Steve love watching your builds can’t wait to see it all finished!!!

[@DanielThomason]

Can’t wait to see this thing finished. Gonna be sick. I wish I would’ve visited your shop when I was staying in Sacramento. Regret it everyday. Love the vids Steve.

[@mohgwells1631]

OMG. It was so good what you did n i love it. I ike making boxes and good bumpin

[@noemartinez5111]

That is one lucky chevy silverado gahh damm.

[@technicalsupport3111]

welcome to school boyyyyyz 🛐🛐🛐 in bassys name, i pray, aaamen

[@willmatic84]

That shit gonna hit hard 😋

[@justinpass8154]

I just did a similar setup with two Massive GTX 122 wired series parallel to a Hifonics HFi 1500. They replaced a set of 11 year old Five Star Diamond Series SVC 4ohm subs and 11 year old American Bass class A/B 2 channel pushing 150 rms bridged at 2ohm I measured the existing box and the dimensions where perfect right in middle of manufacturer range. The slot port in the center of the box matched Massives specs to the tee. It sounds amazing, such an improvement. Now I just need to invest in some of those SMD devices to really get it at the right frequency response.

[@DzDetailingGarage]

Been following you in this build man, tryna learn from your work.

[@kasharello9852]

That camera is picking up EVERYTHING 💪🏾💪🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾 good shit brother

[@mailemcdevitt7930]

Not to be an ass but meade sounds like chum lee from pawn stars

[@markdelaraga6695]

Outstanding work man. I have an 03 Silverado Ext cab myself, howd you compensate for the floor buldge? Whatd you build for the box to sit flat?. Im only running 2 CT sounds Ozone 12's. They slap pretty good. I did have the back seat out but decided to put back in till i can come up with a way to fab something to flatten out that dang hump.

[@brandonthompson9957]

Forever impressed with the work you do, keep it up Steve!

[@ljmike1204]

damn steve my 2x12" 300W rms pa subs made my doors rattle XD

[@troublemaker54]

Perfection to the max! How can someone unlike this

[@hectorortega9131]

Hey Steve, whos that Boy thats Helping you? He sure gonna Learn alot of good Car Audio tricks with you.

[@corriroane4758]

Good shit bro. Waiting to see when it’s all finished up. Any ideas for the amp rack? I know it would be nice tho. Keep up the good work bro!!

[@seanfallon6312]

Please get that man a new wheel too....that tape job is killing me 😂😂😂

[@briannash7960]

How much would it be to make the same style box for 4 10 inch subs, 2 zxi10.4d and 2 skar dx2

[@hshj04]

So what made you do 4 level ones.vs two level twos or a level 3 15. Just curious

[@themobilegamer2104]

Is your shop located in Sacramento ca

[@jody024]

That thing is evil AF. Love it.

[@falunyip]

Some device nearby says "Sorry, i'm unable to do that" and Steve says shut up LMAO

[@raygandavis7707]

Neighbors 😒 who needs them. And Steve said "let there be bass!" And there was bass.😍😍😍😍

[@meade916]

SOUUUUNNNND...... DRUMS...Guitar! Let there be rock! i mean BASS! :D

[@SpaceMarine545]

Newbie here and I wanted to ask, how does the impedance meter tell you the tuning of the box through ohms??

[@joelrainey1979]

Nice man can't wait to see it all finished

[@kennyetenne8894]

I love these build series!

[@dustinkey8885]

daaaaaammmn Steve she gets nasty on the low notes my step dad had to mtx 15's in a wall so loud you could it would make metal roof shake

[@jaredappleseed7037]

Can't wait to see it done

[@zabertt]

Verry nice work it sounds Incredible good bass like a Earthquake🔊🔊🔊🔊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@KB-wq5bb]

Hey Steve I've got a '11 Chevy Silverado crew cab and don't want to take back seat out ( you know the kids thing.) What's a good setup for under seat but also want to feel that bass. I had 4 solo baric kicker 10's back in the mid 90's with 2 alpine mrv1000 bridged behind seat of a 95 Nissan SE single cab truck. Been away from audio since early 2000's ( The family thing) So now I would like to get back into hearing that bass. I would really appreciate any ideas you could help me with. Thanks. KB, if you need anymore info just let me know and I get back at ya.

[@MellowYe77ow]

Sound Off Audio make a quad 8" ported box that fits under the seat: www.soundoffaudio.com/ported-quad-8-for-2007-2013-chevy-silverado-crew/

[@M3nDo707]

[@meade916]

sorry man i don't do work for the general public but thanks anyway for considering me just in case i did! ;)

[@RolexDSSD]

Legit!

[@davidtaylor857]

you gotta Dynamat that cabin. that cab will resonate like an oil drum

[@stertheder]

That's a whole 'nother project in itself. This is just a 'little' project for a friend. Steve of all people would know about sound deadening XD

[@chadgardee1496]

Looks good bro sucks I blew my only subs today now I’m bass less for a while bought the skar 1000.1 beating on subs for couple months they finally gave 😒

[@meade916]

next time set your gains right and that won't happen :)

[@robertechols5066]

meade916 Hey Steve, I've seen that same comment from him on other websites, a while back , good answer LOL !

[@rhkips]

My gut says to go with facing forward, but I'm second-guessing myself. I played around with cone loading a lot back in the early 90s, but that was back before excursions and power levels got as extreme and common as they are now. It was a really effective way to get a bit more out of a low-end sub, but I really don't know how a sub with that much excursion responds to cone loading. I worry that the air mass would get muffled--rather than boosted--by the restriction of the driver and passenger seats. Dunno; just thinking out loud! Box looks killer, and hot damn that tripod flex! LOL

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

Yea- I'd never put a speaker face up in that environment; way too easy to get knocked, torn, rain, and full of debris- even with some kind of "grille" it's bound to get messed up. How is something like this mounded? Hard & direct- or a cushion in between box/cabin? Back in the late 70's people experimented with suspending home enclosures with chains from the ceiling, totally isolating the source. Many high-end turntables used springs to isolate the platter from outside vibration. I guess if the box is "hard" mounted, the harmonic power will be absorbed by the metal body & glass? If it's "cushioned" is there less transference, and (less) loss of decibel power?

[@josephespitia9808]

Steve Meade, what can I say? You're bad ass man. Everything you do, you put your pride into as well as your reputation, and your reputation simply speaks for itself. GOOD JOB, thanks for sharing the build with the entire BASS community, Joseph.

[@caraudioetc]

Steve do you not think it would be better to wire the voice coils of each pair in parallel and then series the woofers of each pair? You would still get 1 ohm but your voice coils would all be in sync with their partners. That’s just how I do it, I don’t like having voice coils of the same woofer in series.

[@meade916]

nah.. It wouldn't be better. Everything is in sync. No problems here.

[@benboquet7436]

This makes me hate myself even more for buying a single cab not a extended

[@King-tw1vi]

BeanBot do a blow through.

[@benboquet7436]

I need the bed though

[@robertechols5066]

Build behind the seat , there's videos, look for them , it's not over for you dude :)

[@anthonya5896]

The slow mo clips looks so funny

[@NVMDSTEvil]

I had a chevy with 4x Kicker square 10's forward sealed under the back seat. Actually miss that setup.

[@KMFDM781]

M0AR!

[@brian69frmovale76]

Great job on the box

[@1arod562]

Putting in work! Got my computer sound set-up flexin"...Nice Audio, my sub gave me the full effect!

[@JW-km9vy]

Interesting stuff. I did the same positioning test with 2 15s in a 04 GMC ext. cab and it also sounded better with the port against the back wall and pointing towards the side but the subs are pointing up instead of forward.

[@kevingilchrest882]

MAN I WISH I WORKED THERE WITH YALL

[@HOTSHOT-ls1bc]

Facing the back of the seat is way better at a 35 angel I’ve built and tested both with sealed boxes now stacking two tall behind each seat and either running port up or in center!

[@crazy8sdrums]

High powered whack-a-mole! :D

[@billyfloyd914]

What do you set the subsonic to if box is tuned to 30hz ?

[@ashtonrowell9182]

23. Generally a half octave below tuning..

[@DjKamikazee]

That box is making them subs rattle the truck. Your friend will have a big smile when he hears it

[@s0n_0f_cali71]

Aren't you supposed to break them subs in before going all out?????

[@ovenheating9482]

S0N_0f_ CALi you dont have to break in a sub before doing anything. You can go max power right out of the box. All breaking a sub in does is loosen things up a bit and makes it easier on your amps to move. But then again if your amps have a problem moving the subs then youve got a problem yourself. Ive never broke in any of my subs but over time ive noticed they do get easier to move at lower volumes.

[@meade916]

i am breaking them in, can't you see? lol

[@s0n_0f_cali71]

+J KH Thanx for info!

[@catch22frubert]

Box turned out nice. Look at them DC 12's flexin hard on just 1600 watts! I bet it sounds sick, especially for the wattage used.

[@killer32620]

never fail to impress...shit looks like it pounds thinking of going bigger in my car maybe a 15 not sure if it will fit in my car

[@smokeg3000]

I remember watching the video of the 20,000 watt Tahoe along time ago & said 1 day I’ll have a system like that now I can’t wait to get an actual crazy build from Steve let’s see if we can make it happen 1 day

[@numismaticokie9243]

I'm coming to Sacramento in a few months, haven't been there since I moved in 2003, but would love to come by and meet you. Love your videos!

[@drauto6763]

Hell yeah man , that's awesome Steve and Brandon. You could get a good workout moving that box around. Thanks for the video, damn back window looked like it waves in it.

[@kevinAuman1]

Dayumm those things are flexin lol makes me even more anxious for my custom box for my solo x 10's to get here! OLD SCHOOL flex coming soon haha

[@pablovalentin5100]

Nice, I bet it sounds awesome. Steve you really have an amazing talent.thumbs up to you and you’re team.👍🏻

[@pusylvr69]

ALL THAT FLEX😮😮
