My buddy Psyph Morrison has never had a "real" sound system before. I have been telling him for a long time i would put something in one of his cars. Due to him living an hour away, having a job and also not having a car he was happy with, we never got around to it. But when he got the Accord, i was all in! This will be fun. WAIT till you see the look on his face. Enjoy the build!

[@meade916]

for anyone wondering why he drives a 2002 Accord when you thought he would be in a Lambo. Let me just tell you something. He NEVER raps about being rich. He does rap about chasing the cash though. We all wish we were there. But on the real, this man donates his time to youth football ALL YEAR long. As long as i have known him, he worked at a children's receiving home for troubled kids. A thankless job that doesn't pay that much. He spends his money on his dogs. The music business isn't as amazing as people think unless you are signed on a big label with some hits. Right now it's just a struggle trying to make it happen. So if he don't drive a good enough car for your tastes, buy some of his records and maybe he can get that lambo someday. :) Support these video's! - www.patreon.com/meade916 Thanks for watching!

[@thomasknight9457]

Hey man whether he drives a Honda, a lambo, or a dump truck the man spits some serious fire. It's not what you have in life it's what you have in your soul.

[@thomasknight9457]

Corrosion37 😧 Jews...really....WTH man lol

[@theejoeylee]

Even if i hit it big, I'd Keep the honda, Exotics are money pits and poor investments unless you know what you're buying

[@budtravels4434]

Honda makes the most reliable cars. I would drive that Accord and be happy. Just like I drove my Honda with 300,000 miles. Far more reliable than any lambo.

[@cockneyzombie]

Psyph has provided us bass heads with some great beat's. Its a tough choice but I'd say Rockin from The diamond in the mudd album is more favorite, love them Savage lows. Its good you could do this for him Steve. Tell Psyph keep making them and we will keep buying them.

[@sSKiiTZzo]

Who the fuck would dislike this video!? He hooked his homie up and worked on it like somebody famous was paying high dollar. Good shit Steve Meade!

[@theejoeylee]

IKR! what a buddy

[@Confidential619]

If it was a video about “original crayola colors” it would still be disliked haha...idk KZbin people are weird.

[@No_Transitory]

This dude is putting his heart and soul into this build! Much respect to an honest sound man. I’ve unfortunately dealt with some shady characters and had some shoddy work done to my 05 Infiniti G35. But I bought a decent project car 05 Honda Accord with great interior and low miles. I’ve got big plans for it and watching this just makes me more motivated.

[@cammims7645]

Who else feels like redoing they Sytem after watching this

[@joshkelnhofer5454]

Cam Mims For real. Just watching his connections and setting the amp rack was a work of art.

[@barcadia102]

Cam Mims I plan on changing my rug tomorrow

[@leenino4170]

Cam Mims bruh I just want to take my car to him and I'm from Texas. I'll pay whatever haha. Work is too clean. Wish I had shop like that.

[@caraudiokings5676]

Already started everything thing new

[@mrdoitall1936]

4real lol

[@meade916]

don't forget to check out the previous video's to see how we got to this point!

[@nairielx5]

meade916 hey i don't know if you get problems from it but if you see when you open the trunk all the way up if you look at the inside brake lamp its on top of it inside that plastic bar on the trunk there is a loose metal doing nothing but rattle.. if you know about it nvm the comment lol

[@duraiden]

The attention to detail is just incredible. Also, that shop dog is super cute.

[@asheetuglasse]

Things as simple as what you did with the bass knob set your quality of work from others good shit

[@jasonjackson329]

Out of all my years / Honda Accords with bam in the trunk. I can’t say I’ve ever had or seen a mirror go UP! Lol all mine went down from the bass. I bet this thing is slapping hard

[@toddk1479]

Damn good installer. My boy Joey works like Steve. Methodical and conscientious. Knows his stuff and fabricates as needed. Every wire is meticulously even and just perfect. Goes from screw to screw to wire to wire one at a time and each is perfectly installed.

[@flexch2011]

Ocd alil ..I got tht doing everything incd audio...lol , get made fun of but my shit looks the best bitchess😅

[@BovineSweats]

I wanna hear the trunk after the deadener

[@SHOTS-FIRED]

Probably one of your most simplest installs but still clean as hell. Love seeing your attention to detail for even the littlest things like having all the SMD heat shrinks line up. Little ocd things like that just show that your a master at your craft. P.s. baby is looking health as can be. I still remember the day you found her

[@AngelChavez-fz5nk]

I'm 21years old and I have my own subs until I blew the subwoofer, it alot of money to fix my system don't have the right job too afford it , just pay bills and work. Today as the 1-25-18 and the past years I been watching Steve Meade videos and I wish one day I can be in his shoes what he does. Steve Meade your work is amazing and hopefully one day, I can save up some money and come too you and get my system installed by you. I been watching your videos since I was 9 years old and by watching your videos it gets too me cause I want to do what you do or be in your shoes, the art of the work you do, it amazing. Shout out all the way from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

[@willpascarella4509]

Your systems are always clean. Love your work.

[@Mr.SparkleOG]

Will Pascarella.... was going to reply the same exact same thing but you beat me to it lol His work is always mint!!

[@el_toast_6500]

i use to watch your videos like 10 years ago, even be on the forum, and all of a sudden i wanted to see if you still doin things, glad you still are. inspirational still

[@sk8ingforfood182]

I was going to say something about the trunk rattle but you shut me up quick

[@rokkyplays]

What ik this video is old and I’m commenting now but I genuinely thought the music in the beginning was edited in but I was amazed on how clear and how much bass it had im excited now for the rest of the video seeing how I have the same car 💯

[@Ruckerpark98]

Just installed 2 p2 10s in my wife’s car for Christmas. They hit like crazy!! They are not hooked up to Rockford fosgate amp (she didn’t need that much power). The installer who I would never go back to did a good job of hooking it up and hiding everything but after watching this video they could have customized it a lot more. When it’s my time to get my speakers installed I definitely will know what I want them to do. They didn’t do any sound dampening or customized the base non.

[@shawng7902]

I can give you guys a life changing zip tie tip. Especially for under dash ones. I use curved toe nail clippers on them. For anyone that's been sliced to the bone from the ends knows what I'm talking about. Cut them flat with curved clippers. You can run your hand over them and they are totally smooth.

[@meade916]

i will stick to my cutters but thanks anyway

[@smookiebaby]

If anyone puts a system in my car, it'll be this guy! Just watching 5hrs of his, I know he's 💯. Sad thing is I'm in Alabama.. 😭

[@SajonBeenTurnt]

same

[@MrKsan05]

I love to see people get their first system and for it to be that clean and that nice, I'm happy for him.

[@916REDSKIN]

Sick ass Install Steve. The G.O.A.T did it again! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@treynathaniel4075]

lulz

[@superboy99]

I like that steve meade goes through with the tester to put you on the proper sound levels thats some quality work

[@MrMiller81]

I love how you make everything look so clean

[@iPACKgoldDOTS]

Looks wonderful as usual. Even the simplest of amp racks can make or break your install, this one is obviously the former. I wish everyone cared about the quality of their work like you do.

[@britishspy9512]

iPACKgoldDOTS then he wouldnt have a job

[@springrollpapi]

the amount of craftsmanship is amazing, awesome system man

[@johnalenwork53]

NICE WORK STEVE. YOU DA MAN!,,,,, Mr. Morrison will be STOKED!!!! Have a most awesome Weekend!!

[@cesarbueno598]

After seeing how you install... all I would care about is how my wires where ran and tucked... the time and dedication to my car was given by the installer... I live in Vegas and doubt there are installers like you here.

[@mrsincere4640]

Same here.. Also in Vegas.. Installers here suck... Flaky Vegas folk...

[@snapcase7364]

That's too bad man. I'm born n raised in Vegas. You'd think there were some decent installers there. Alotta bassheads there. Hmmmm.. I'm sensing a business opportunity here 🤔

[@Mw_bill]

The life of price in Vegas 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@twiseii260]

Baby always gotta be in the spotlight. He's such a cool dog.😂😂👍👍

[@wal]

So close to 500k subs!! Incredible and awesome accomplishment

[@meade916]

thanks D!

[@daveb1963]

Great work what i like about steve,s videos are he actually shows you doing the work unlike other installers and this helps us over come certain problems we have installing ice ice ice baby....

[@bp420a5]

That bass knob location is the bomb diggity. This guy never ceases to amaze me. As Mr. Meade would say. Yeah

[@benleon8219]

Last week was my very first self installation in my car, of course I did a pretty shit job at all the details because it was pretty exhausting not knowing what tools and whatnot to use where. Watching this video though makes me want your job, everything is just so damn clean and looks amazing 👍

[@jason28w]

i have never seen the rear view mirror go up like that its allways been down for me ha ha good shit bro

[@P-J-W-777]

meade916 I have noticed from watching a ton of your video's and reading a bunch of comments from people that don't even know you who become keyboard/armchair warrior's and like to talk a lot of shit to and about you. Those people are fucking idiots and need to grow up and get a life! You my friend are man with a huge heart! You helping out a friend like this is amazing. On top of that you're constantly doing giveaway contests for people you don't even know. And the fact that you're doing it because you want to, not because you have to or because you are trying to get something out of it. That is what makes you a better person than anyone who does talk shit or trying to pass judgment. We've chatted a few times and you know my story and I've entered a few of your contests as I'm trying to replace my system that was stolen but haven't won yet. That's beside the point. Again, my friend you are an amazing person as well as a awesome installer, fabricator and designer. I love your attention to detail as I am the same way when it comes to the quality of workmanship/craftsmanship. I know you will and already do but I am going to say it anyway. Keep being you and doing your thing and piss on all the naysayers. I've never met you personally, but trust me when I say, it I've got your back bro. I've watched all 4 video's, not only were the video's well done, the install itself was fantastic. Keep the great videos coming and Have a good one bro!!!!!

[@qunicetoole7497]

Steve, you the man! a Pure audio/ design Craftsman engineer genius! your attention to detail is second to none, bro! you could teach a lot of these so-called audio shops a thing or two about proper precision audio installations, I was impressed with the amp rack design for the 99 Accord, I own a 94 Accord I'm going to follow this advice when I install a system in it, Meade.. I love your compassion, dedication and hard work to the art form, you are truly talented/ gifted my man! keep bustin'💯😎✌️

[@RockfordF150Bass]

Lol Baby is one curious pup!!! He's all over the place.😂😊👍👍

[@cmoneytv8381]

If this guy ever gets a flat all he gotta do it turn up that bass & his car will be levitating it’s way home 🛸🛸🛸

[@JLanc1982]

I love how clean this install is! I also like the way the alternator and amp fuse block share that connection post. I have a 10 acura tsx similar car.

[@jakobsponitz3073]

When the audio setup is worth more than the car. 😍

[@meade916]

worth more than yours too! ;)

[@jakobsponitz3073]

meade916 Ha! More than my 340 M Sport? 🤔

[@godzilla7391]

Sponitz Hey, nothing wrong with wanting some good sound, no matter what you drive. And i think Meade did it for free, since it was his friend, and I'd be grateful. I like his Honda. Plus that thing will still be running in 2033.

[@meade916]

please. Forza 3 on PS3 don't count.

[@jakobsponitz3073]

meade916 Lmao. 😂 Okay.

[@ahsanejaz2554]

one of my friend faced the Woffers towards the CABIN and then his Whole SETUP performed even more wicked. . .

[@treynathaniel4075]

ya basically a box in a box.

[@justinherrin735]

That shit looks amazing! Talk about having friends in high places lol. I’m still rocking the 12” Memphis that sometimes sticks lol. Awesome video bud!

[@MegaRcdrifter]

Justin Herrin, I have 2 12 Memphis PR subs and until it blows I'll buy some Sundowns or Rockford Fosgate subs.

[@Stevesprojects94]

gotta love the random baby appearances during the video! system looking clean as usual man!

[@trx-4andmore37]

Dang, the audio equipment and install are worth more than that car!

[@Mr215Alive]

Those model Punch amps are the best amps I've ever listened to. Efficient, never get hot, muted turn-on to eliminate 'pops', and ZERO noise floor! Simply The best in my opinion

[@drums123beat]

Very Clean Work..... I would definitely pay good money for this guy work.

[@caraudioetc]

I ran that exact sub amp and 2 15” versions of those P3s in my last car. Don’t be fooled by the model number that’s a 1400 watt amp easy!

[@r3d-1truth17]

Sweet care and detail to the install, hard to find that around here - especially for the average vehicle- CLASS!! Peace & respect Car owner has nice tweets location for front door Why didn’t you show deadening results?!??

[@HookdFanatikz670]

Great videos Steve meade!! I actually got the chance to learn alot about car audio when watching all your videos. Where I'm from car audio isn't really a big thing. It's more of just a way to play music. And all this time i wished i had a subwoofer and amp of my own to play the bass that i love. Anyways car audio to me is more than that..and that's why I watch alot of your videos because it made me learn on how to do stuff the right way and test and wire amps the right way...I'm really an oppurtunist and I hope I get to get an autograph from you one day I'm a big fan of your work...by the way nice power distribution blocks looks very cool. Thanks Steve and keep on booming!!!!

[@SourBogBubble]

After seeing how professional you r scares me to do this locally 🤔😩

[@treynathaniel4075]

rofl

[@chrishunter1148]

Man that look so easy to do and sound so amazing. Goal of mine is just an 8 with 400 rms going to do it this year.

[@electronicshelpcare]

First "Real" Sound System

[@XanderGlaze]

Amazing setup and I can tell you were putting in the hard work and dedication on this one.

[@alexsavoie3963]

LOL you tripled the value of that car. Some serious craftsmanship man. Looks unbelievably clean.

[@cmoney6175]

*tripled the rate of it getting stolen the week it's out the shop*

[@meade916]

you are so upbeat. I bet you have a lot of friends P LOL

[@cmoney6175]

meade916 LOL I got no hard feelings about the car or anything man. I'm just joking around about it all 😂.

[@itsbmd6225]

Gotta love a clean install. Shoutout to SMD for making the best looking/quality slapper accessories, those fuse blocks really stand out in a build, espcailly when you get a colored one!

[@luis42963]

Dude how is this almost a year ago already. Man does time fly by. 😭

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

Excellent work, Steve! Your attention to detail and quality install is on point.

[@biggmike690]

Yo!!!! You should put some stickerz out that say that!!!! "Rear view mirror klub"

[@dabigmack2]

Thats the reason i braced my mirror with handles from plastic forks. They are clear and the right brand of them look like bridge supports

[@TheFiendRacer]

Man I wish there was a shop that did quality work like this... I’ve been saving and looking around and still don’t know where to go get it done

[@TheQuadfather1976]

Good shit Steve! Taking care of your boi. That's what's up.

[@cmoney6175]

*when the systems worth more than the car*

[@meade916]

when it's worth more than your car too.....

[@cmoney6175]

You ain't wrong about that though lmfao.

[@bmorg1984]

The love you and Pysph have for each other, alone, is dope. The install was great, as expected. Keep doing what you two do. ✊

[@Bossthebeastmode]

Now that what u call a real install system 🙌

[@justinmurphy2227]

Steve... I love how you are showing off the basics of all installs right there in that build. So many people can learn from these 4 videos. From putting components in the doors to putting the sound deadener on the trunk lid, it's great material. I love how you always go back to your roots and give us a series like this. Thank you! #smdrealworldinstallz

[@quickahh5331]

Sound system cost more than the car, just the way I like it 😏

[@mikepruneda6533]

Damn Steve that’s a badass clean and simple install! I did my wife’s install on her 2001 Honda Accord and it hits good too but yea it sounds way better with that back seat down too! You’re right it’s a Honda thing!

[@mikegray9428]

very nice install Steve. Love your work!

[@MrSpanky473]

I couldn't imagine being the artist of bumpin music, and not having a sytem in my car.

[@goo_2gle]

watching your videos upsets me--they upset me because 20 years ago i had a "system" installed in my car and i spent $5gs they did such a shitty half assed job that watching you work and put actual "WORK" into it upsets me because everyone who does this kind of work should be doing what you do. My modern car has a decent sound system in so i no longer have a need or want for a system. But i wish you would have done the job on my car. kudos to you

[@The_JEB]

something similar happened to his friend back in 2013 i found his channel through this series of videos, here is video 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnbUm52wi6x1rcU

[@MegaRcdrifter]

Goo gle, That's why you gotta do some research before making on a decision

[@goo_2gle]

The place i went to was advertised heavily on a popular hip hop rap radio station. Promoted by celebrities and rappers. They had amazing looking setups parked outside, lowriders fully decked out and recommended by my cousin. So i went there and I thought i was in good hands ya know. What was supposed to be 2 hours of work (they told me it was gonna be a couple hours) turned into 7 and half hours. When i got my car i noticed that the speakers were distorting half way. I took it back and they did some adjustments but then told me that i needed to buy more expensive equipment. Overtime the wires came out, my car would turn off, the sound became distorted at higher levels (not even nearly 90%) I ended up buying a 1000 watt amp because they told me it would fix the distortion issues. The amp was used and when it went out they refused to fix it, said to call Rockford Fosgate and get a refund. It was a total disaster. By the time i sold my car i had no working stereo. Also should mention that my car was brand new when i had the system installed.

[@humboldtoregonian9400]

I really like channels that I can learn from. I would have never thought of that amp configuration. This is something that I feel I should try some time. Thanks for making such informative videos.

[@bluecamarodriver94]

You do legit work can I bring you my truck I'm only about hour away from you

[@alejandromoya2486]

Where is he located bro can you send me his address

[@bluecamarodriver94]

Send him message man I don't want put out his personal information

[@alejandromoya2486]

Ok no problem thanks anyway

[@bluecamarodriver94]

Sorry wasn't trying be dick just not my place and I don't think he's a open for business style of a shop so..

[@alejandromoya2486]

Get you bro its cool

[@samwoodward9817]

Some people listen to classical music, play games, or light some tree to relax, me..... I just put on a Meade vid, and for the next 8-28 mins, I’m good. Thanks for the fire content, man!

[@meade916]

or light some tree THEN watch my vids....haha...thanks a LOT Sam bro

[@phillamansky8209]

Thought the spare tire was a giant sub at first... 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[@johnnyditommaso6807]

Steve Meade no stone left unturned! You build some awesome stuff! Keep doing what you do!

[@YourGrannysThong]

I think that’s the first time I’ve seen a mirror shake upward🤔

[@darkquixote6077]

My dude, that was a clean and professional installation, I know if I was the owner I would be out of my mind with the finish results.Keep on keeping my man.

[@jerjax-vx2iw]

bass is like crack...dude will come back..hes gonna want to get loud now! damn bass dealers lmao

[@Powerstroke87]

Hahaha, that face at 18:05 is a man who is so proud of himself. I cant wait to see Psyph's reaction. If he's never had a real system before, that shit is gonna be a game changer for him. Hes gonna love driving now

[@nickstupi]

4:25 "your in my way dude" be nice to the dog

[@austinsADHD]

Theirs always the best music playing in the background of these videos

[@vernonjackson1792]

meade916 quick question bro, with just the one set of components up front and no speakers in the back is it loud enough? That’s alot of bass with the p3’s.

[@meade916]

why wouldn't it be? I don't put speakers in the back because i prefer it to sound good.

[@vernonjackson1792]

meade916 ok cool I have a 99 toyota avalon and just wanted to take the same approach but I was looking to double the highs up front too.

[@jjreal9910]

I know you have moved on beyond this car however, I just wanted to share a tip for fixing the rear view mirror from moving all around. I used one large long skinny fish hook. I shoved the sharp point end between the top edge of the mirror between the plastic and the glass, I then under heat bent the other end with needle nose pliers to hook the headliner at the seam where it meets the windshield gasket. It moves a little but for the most part stays in place. I'm running a 13" JL Audio W7AE with a JL Slash V3 1200/1v3 amp.

[@meade916]

won't help if your system actually hits hard enough. Thanks anyway.

[@jasonrogers143]

Shop dog had to check that box for treats

[@SecondSkinAudio]

Probably smelled our dogs on it, Team Second Sadie and Oliver climb all over our warehouse pallets LOL

[@bigdaddynate8917]

man sad there wont be many legends like you around after your gone

[@mahasevishal]

always watch your videos, even the old ones... best installs/dyno test went out and got myself some rf amps because of you and i’m no disappointed thanks man 👍🏻

[@Rs6Quik]

That's just about the same result I'm looking for, and yeah, usually a good system will be more than the value of a lot of used cars..most new cars sound like sh!t anyways 😂

[@Aero_HER_Dynamic]

Other installers should take notes because my dude right here is A1 steak sauce. Professional grade A++. Awesome work. Attention to detail!!

[@6av1d8]

What’s the song when u sat in the car ?

[@grady.stu.8300]

Throw a high speed buffer on that paint it'll look like new!. Awesome build. I'm really struggling with getting my amp rack right. I have an 09 maxima with a Jp43 and a d3400 next to it. Dual runs of GP audio 1/0 wire all fused. There's no room. I have it between the back seat n the box. Wish I lived close to you. Lol

[@estefanimisquez3203]

I have that same car but 5 speed

[@anthonyhenry6373]

That mirror vibrating up is crazy. When I had my 2 10 JL in my truck it would do that. I miss those subs

[@ccallyer2285]

How much did this install cost?

[@jamesf9610]

My civic was a slight rattler with two 15s about 5 cans of insulation expanding foam and the rear quarter panels felt like a rock when knocked on them lol but hey no more rattles and it was all covered up with interior panels. Can't exactly get inside the quarters to lay out damping sheets. But a 1/4 hole let the foam nozzle right in

[@KTOENTERPRISE]

Lol thats was up no more rattle

[@uknodebo3092]

How much u charge for all the work

[@SouthEastStanger]

Lol at that mirror. IT'S GOING ALLLL THE WAYYY UP!

[@GlockfawnyFN]

Howmuch would this cost ?

[@fortnitefortnite0]

lots

[@jonanderson4474]

Depending on where you get it just under or over two thousand. More if you have it "professionally" installed.

[@JediTreeSmoker]

Finally! I've been waiting for this. Watching all these videos pushes me to work harder and make more money because I want a system like that.

[@JulianJohnston919]

Damn Steve you make it look so easy my man

[@rubencervantes3477]

So if he needs his spare tire he has to take apart to get his tire

[@ChadKirk]

But hey at least he can ride around thinking that everyone thinks he’s cool because his crappy music is too loud lol

[@el_toast_6500]

glad to see you still doin fosgate too
