4 output Remote Control Box - Tahoe System Rebuild (Vid 18)

just another small piece of the puzzle. This is a remote controlled, 4 output control box. I wanted to be able to control my bass amps and turn them off in times where i wont need them running. Also to turn the fans on. I will probably use the others in the near future as the build progresses.

[@Shivang0987654321]

Hey Steve...You are a Genius. Your work has made me watch this again & again. I've been around you tube watching ur each n every video u have posted till date. Hoping too see this build become a masterpiece.

[@FAMOOSE]

Steve your garage is better equipped than my install bay at work lol. Keep it up build looks great love the fan system you worked out.

[@meade916]

its not a mess. Its clean. I dont need the fans on all the time just on hot(er) days....most of the winter, i wont need them on unless i know i will be playing it hard for long periods. After i take the box out one last time, i will probably install temp sensors and make it full auto

[@EXOcontralto]

Believe me, this is best for his situation. With one amp, life is a different story. Once you go multiple, shit changes bigtime.

[@d77543020]

i love looking at your videos to get me pumped when im about to work on my ride

[@stratmemph1]

this video really shows your skill at what you do man considering your dealing with so many wires thats amazing work right there. iv never seen so many wires be that clean and organized. but im goin to arizona sometime in the next year to get all my certifications and endure 8 weeks of learning a bunch of shit i already know and might check out some shops around the west coast so i hope i run into ur tahoe cus its def got its beast mode on and turned up!

[@LooseCannon48]

I can't wait to see the finished product. Keep up the good work steve.

[@fairview05]

wow i wasnt expected steve to post a vid today his system is lookin better every vid

[@AliveDaft]

So nuts. Great Build so far Steve.

[@andiesel06]

3M double sided tape would work good too, but sick idea, i'm gonna have to use it for some of my gear too

[@evilgenius5898]

Hell yeah lovin the mad season in the background.

[@DePiranha]

You can never have enough :P Let Steve do his thing, hes good at it and enjoys it. Keep it up steve! Can't wait to hear the first bump :D

[@XxXRascle420XxX]

holy fuck dude.. for you to be able to keep up with exactly what wires got to what you seriously must be a God.. this is insane. mad props on everything bro 5 stars for sure

[@KhymeraB]

Good info. You got us tuned in man.. lookn forward to the new install.

[@awsomeness78]

3:35, that is the best homemade mounting bracket iv seen

[@Jershway]

Dang steve, what a workbench Haha You have like every tool you would need

[@adamhuaman]

man i wish i stayed near you i would pay you to do my civic like the one in you back yard, i have one just like it and i would love to do what your doing to the tahoe to the civic but keep it up man its so sick

[@legend6882]

so good ,love the long movies.plus you still amaze me

[@meade916]

no one on youtube has 24 12's in the cargo area of a tahoe. I told you i like 18's better anyway :) thanks man!! :D :D

[@HashSlingnSlashR.90]

its turning out to be sick.... i cant wait to see it done...

[@meade916]

yup, i love those things!

[@hexflip]

i dig the fans, sometimes heat sinks just aren't enough!

[@backinbass]

Damn Steve, you have a solution for everything! You are just like MacGyver lol! Keep it up!

[@lifelikeweeds819]

Very slick. Didn't even know those existed.

[@meade916]

thanks man, it was just a quick little somethin-somethin'.....nothin to it but an easy solution!

[@meade916]

just tryin to prevent Car-B-Q's bro LOL - thanks for sayin that i 'preciate that!! :)

[@Lsxj]

Can't wait for the bumps, i wanna see how much u can shake a car next to you wit the new amps :D

[@andymcdo]

very nice steve. quality work as always.

[@DLoyaL902]

i cant wait to hear the first bump!

[@bigdaddydjdef]

man you got love and respect all the way from lansing michigan nice job yo

[@jasonbc69]

he's putting the BTL's back in. gonna be at least a decent amount of work hiding all that huge power cable. well and the other cables

[@two210]

damn this system truly is a work of art ^^

[@CorvetteKillingDSM]

I think a temp sensor would have been cool to stick with the bottom amps so you actually know how hot the air is down there :-)

[@sonybape]

amazing... you did such a great work there!!!!! support!!

[@tacomabanga1986]

haha, and the saga continues, ok now its flat head for sheet metal, and pencil for wood lol, cool shit man

[@DatBlueHusky]

lol i have that same blue clamp hes using to bend the steel but yeah i cant wait for the finished product

[@NewProductions]

Nice man I can't wait for the next video.

[@mad66man]

holy shit .. thats alot of wires !! how much do these weight ?? good stuff steve !!! keep it up

[@jaimeurbina]

I would not take the time to record my project lol Good job doing the work and posting these videos!!!

[@NiteRyda88]

i would think wit how hard the subs pound that the lil bracket wouldnt hold the 4 channel remote box witout puttin a lil bit of rubber or somethin that will grip the remote box better n also apply a lil more pressure to squeeze onto the remote box

[@meade916]

thanks bro!!!!

[@meade916]

thanks man!!!! i will bro! :)

[@freestylem15]

Man this system is crazy with wires! i wouldnt be able able to handle the mess.

[@vinnieb]

Hey couple of questions. Why didnt you just jump the remote wires on the amps so you would only have one remote wire for the amps that are powering your subs? would of been alot less of a mess. Also, why didnt you just tap the fans on the remote wire to the amps? Thats why whenever the amps come on the fans will too. Can really see why you would wanna turn the fans on and off by themselves.

[@bego2]

the headunit turns the remote control box on and off, he controls the control box by remote and when he turns off the headunit the control box id off to so fans cant be on.. ;)

[@EXOcontralto]

This is straight nasty!

[@chazm89]

another awesome update vid, keep em comin steve. 5/5

[@AzzenGear]

Quick question. I know this video is old but how did you mount the buss bars? Did you have to fabricate a base by siliconing it secure or was there just an area that you could screw/ bolt them into.

[@booy23]

OMG - I'm fan of you steve! auehaue ... and I'm a Brazilian Guy! Congrats!

[@negligentinmate]

hell i respect for your tahoe before but DAMMNNNN I had no clue it was this involved! one question though, when you were mountin the 4-way controller whats that green cylinder next to it?

[@mporettim]

that's pretty slick

[@awsomeness78]

the fans are connected to the air conditioning, so when he turns the air on, the amp fans turn on

[@bassboylowg]

Thats awesome man.

[@awsomeness78]

No prob, cant wait to see the finished product, iv been thinkin about gettin a system in my car, whats ur take on 2 l7's and 2 rockford fosgate t2500.1's

[@Willylsxperformance]

very nice steve

[@jasonbc69]

maybe an LED light at the dash for when the fans come on? just might help out

[@iversonsnow2003]

Love the videos steve!!! Im thinkin bout gettin a RF T2500-1bd for my 2 Alpine Type-R's right now i have a PDX 1.1000 on them, do you think this would be a smart upgrade or should i look elsewhere?

[@meade916]

thanks!!!! :)

[@HugensD]

Nice video man, when do you think the build will be finished and deadline?

[@mikeskilla]

he did chickens hoopty like that

[@JacobBennett45]

very nice, never question S.M.

[@zyar46]

This is insade. i inspire me alot steve.

[@NWSaudio]

I'm just curious as to why you solder and heat shrink EVERY wire.. It makes for a solid conntection of course, and is neccesary for some wires.. but couldnt you just "Butt Splice" and Crimp the remote wires to save time? Just curious. 5/5!

[@alwahadneh]

you the man professional. its my dream

[@StJimmyPyro]

Fucking ace man. I swear, you never cease to amaze me.

[@fhqwhgadz]

Love these videos, keep it up man 5*'s!

[@slam2610]

wow that was creative

[@raarsnafu]

steve, you really need yourself some kind of device to hold your video camera on your shoulder when you dont have your kids or any helpers around, so you can use both hands to work on stuff. lol

[@camarotwofast]

good vid as always!

[@cdub09son]

dat shit is so sick man!!!!! but hey, wat is dat green ting next to d remote box???

[@minimus1899]

that what i do i solider every connection it takes longer but its worth it

[@meade916]

is your boy a tweaker? No offense but it would take way to many solar panels then my roof can fit to charge 10 batteries....not to mention that if they are made of glass like most are, i would probably shatter them. Oh, i would also look like a damn tweaker with that on my roof LOL! No offense to you though man, thanks dude!!

[@krogerman30]

Thats awsome new Ideas for my build when my wife lets me lol.

[@Xpp.]

Just a silly question .... how will you know if the amps are getting hot ? i think some sort of temp sender and digital display on the dashboard would be a "cool" idea ??

[@jesseadkins187]

lol..... This looks like a good spot,,, slap that right there

[@audiogod9000]

@AnythingWeThinkOf its called Heat gun. don't really know the Full name to it,lol

[@coondogtheman]

You are fucking amazing Steve. that would be too many wires for me to hook up id barely be able to hook up just 1 AMP let alone 12. whats next building the sub boxes?

[@slipknot555133]

well if it makes a solid connection..then why not take the time..i use butt splice connectors just to save time just cuz im so lazy...but soldering makes it muchhh better..learned from experience

[@1DjScarface]

im bout to hook up 4 or more amps in my system... where can i find step by step info on how to hook up the 12 volt relay to turn on the amps & not put all the amps on the one lead from the deck

[@SubMasterT]

Hey meade? Why are you having soo many amps? Couldnt you just do one per sub or one per 2subs? Unless if your gonna double up the power with those amps but explain

[@lululombard]

nice&cool

[@meade916]

me 2! :)

[@iversonsnow2003]

Im looking to get a T2500-1bd for my 2 type-rs. A PDX 1.1000 is runnin' 'em now, think that the T2500 will suffice or is there just to much power in one of those things?

[@arch417powersports]

is he putting his FI BTL's back in???

[@audiogod9000]

@AnythingWeThinkOf Most likely his son is Filming him

[@monera9675]

Yo bro wa good i got my own RM04 how did u wire the ground and positive of the 12V output? do i write the 12v to the remote of the amp and the 12v out ground with the ground of the amp? tHank brO all the way up iN canada

[@tokyoskaterpunk]

dayyyum steve

[@Jayvisionary]

THAT'S TIGHT

[@RF15T1]

Steve, just out of curiosity, do you know how to do tint?

[@minimus1899]

hey steve where can i get the rockford amp and other products from i live in the UK btw

[@ICEDRAGON121ROSE]

that green thing is the seat belt

[@ClumsyCars]

awsome.

[@monera9675]

so steve how did u ever wire that rm04 do i run a group to the amp and 1 power to the remote of the amp?

[@dwtnigg]

WOW HOW MUCH FOR YOUR SYSTEM!?!?!?

[@jugerberga]

The t2500.1's will be strapped 2 per sub.??

[@betatestersrule08]

nice...dude

[@Mrcastona]

Temp gauge would be smart. just any computer kind. digital maybe. lol, run temp wire to back of rack. then when they get hot you know and bam hit the button instant heat loss

[@rios004]

were can I get the box at

[@rsqizar]

@meade916 where and how much did you get those i want to put in my tahoe like you did

[@georgewerner6208]

can you explain to me how to wire one of them up. The remote control
