sorry i have to cut this into a few segments. It is going to be so much work to make this look proper and to get it all the way i want it. The JOY of car audio is, just when i think i am happy, i get to start all over again but in reverse (the other side). uhhhhhgggg....it's ok, i am starting to get happy about it. I have idea's how i want to finish it off. It should look like it almost belongs. Catch daily updates here in the meantime >> instagram.com/meade916 thanks for watching if you did!

Sup brotha

[@nyclout5955]

Keep it coming yo

[@princecuddle]

The fact it's a challenge is what makes it so much fun to pursue builds like your Tahoe from back then and now the Caddilac. A Tahoe but from a higher class.

[@dominicanbiker]

Love your videos home comes first no rush on the truck

[@ronjlwhite8058]

Bad ASS!!!

[@andrewconfer8053]

Anyone else thinking "nooo Steve don't cut up the beautiful caddy!" Then two mins later "Oh wow he made it look amazing." 👀

[@cfmechanic]

I never doubt Steve he's always got something up his sleeve

[@Natsumidragneelkim]

Absofuckinglutely.

[@bassheadforeverclub]

That's what he does

[@shanegarner6031]

Not really he's a perfectionist everything he touches sounds and looks 💯

[@bassheadforeverclub]

Aka the process of any good project ever

[@thewhat1214]

Professional don't worry about cutting up there projects awesome work sir always setting the bar👍👍

[@lj5632]

wow so many years I've visited steve's channel+ 10 years ago. Amazing channel and business evolution. dude is here since youtube foundation and I was kid.

[@Watts378]

Ya same man. Used to watch him back in the day then somehow fell off. Saw a thumbnail yesterday of his house system vid. Glad this guy still rockin bigger and better!

[@davidgardner4940]

I'm really impressed by how Steve will show his creative process even the mistakes at times. It shows how ideas can change during the build

[@Soulgasm08]

I always love the process. I’m that guy that sits and watches hours of episodes of ‘How it’s Made’.

[@MrDopey32]

Right there with ya on that note. Lol

[@rolly4x4]

Nothing like a bit of CAD (cardboard aided design), always the easiest way to start any build.

[@RockyX13]

Love this Caddy build! There's an issue I always ran into in the past with long term builds on modern vehicles. By the time they were finally done the vehicle was the "old" model. Now I try to plan and budget for most mods up front, even if I have to buy a lower trim level vehicle. Keep the videos coming man!

[@LordPrometheous]

Seeing that cardboard get cut on the machine was so satisfying, like a hot knife through warm butter. Also, flexible materials that hold their shape such as pipe cleaners make it easy to get complex shapes formed quickly and easily, to then be traced onto cardboard.

[@dustinjordan5177]

Idky but I love watching what this man right here comes up with. He is an awesome fabricator and very intelligent. Keep it up big guy!

[@meade916]

Thanks for watching !

[@12Messenger]

Cant wait to start my build close to end of December

[@kiabass8798]

Cutting up door panels is dedication 💯 heck I'm gonna have to buy new pillers for the k5 becouse aftermarket tweeters will not fit the dash and while I'm at it I'm doing some 3 way component speakers

[@arthurkitchen8896]

That laser thing cutting is the coolest thing ever!!!

[@nor_cal530]

[@pyroboy417]

[@sickjohnson]

Hey Steve, I noticed your have been working way to hard and have not taken your yearly vacation at the beach with the side by side? Love the updates man!!!

[@bashns7743]

I never realized how dope that Escalade is💯

[@flyinghigh8487]

What a perfect build , so clean.

[@jskiz]

Wow i grew up on Steve Meade old school Tahoe videos, can’t believe i found this KZbin page

[@alexisbirungi1745]

Prime example of no such thing as a perfect system. Cant wait to see the finished panels

[@tjnoer3749]

Wow that's all I can say is wow beautiful work never seems to amaze me!

[@jlspunn]

I still haven’t brought myself to cutting my door panels. I’m not selling myself short I just lack the knowledge to do it properly, but it sure is cool to watch people who know how to do it and do it correctly. That Escalade is nice af and them door panels come out extremely nice, if I hadn’t of seen it I’d argue that they didn’t come that way.

[@meade916]

thanks Roy i appreciate you bro.

[@jlspunn]

@@meade916 yes sir

[@roadlife9312]

Your creativity is amazing..thanks for sharing

[@PacoGP17]

Thanks for the 3 way component adapter for the sky high speakers Bobby got for me about to have my 21 F150 all done up soon B2 8’s 2500.1 amp and 1200.4 Rage amp 6k limitless battery

[@MrDarkvanity]

This looks so good already. Inspiration

[@appimoefi4519]

From Europe . Good work Steve .

[@FosterFarmsOk]

great work. really liked how that door turned out

[@MW-dot]

Imma be doing a wall in my 1997 Lexus LS I love seeing content on your new Lexus.

[@fuckatjunk]

I enjoyed seeing the start to finish. From the cardboard, to cad, to the laser, and the router. Truly an inspiration, as I still do cardboard, hand drawings and hand routers. Can’t wait to see it finished.

[@blackbass4u2c]

I understand the new home issues... my wife and I move after 20 years at a different home... moving that whole thing and organizing your whole life into the new house is fulltime...

[@13Dixiefried]

Love the old cad(cardboard added design) way. 🤣 I've been waiting for this video.

[@chrismcbride7935]

wow Steve lol the wonders of Lazer cutting into something tht u made with ur own design and I wasn't to keen u cutting the caddy door panels but it looks way better and the gaps r flawless.. plus the mess is a minimum nice wrk

[@jody024]

The caddy gets more sick every time it appears on the channel, love it.

[@Daftpunkv]

[@shawnsanderson3695]

[@fiveohhhguy4917]

I love your vids bro… That caddy is 🔥🔥

[@nickz6143]

As always, looks sweet as hell Steve.

[@cragre28]

It takes some guts or in my case stupidity to cut up expensive door panels. I cut up in my 2011 Sierra Denali and I really didn't have a plan to begin with, I just wanted to fit 2 8's and 2 2 1/2 mids. I nearly gave up and just got some new door panels out of a wrecked truck, and I will do that some day in the far future. It looks like crap right now with the Timpano 8's and Dayton Audio mids, but I have a plan now and I can fix it. I wish I had your vision and patience, but I have ADD and it's very hard for me to finish things, but I'm working on it.

[@trinidadsanchez3342]

Amazing talent

[@brentbeiler7051]

Dude I could watch this shit for hrs ! Ideas for my beater

[@cherb23]

Good luck getting warranty on that escalade lol im just kidding its the coolest escalade i ever saw in my life.

[@johntanja4292]

Dope as f... bro..... always a pleasure too such dope flow from that genius mind of yours...

[@jctejeda]

that is a nice work 👏 fast and easy for u sir

[@shankzbeatz6504]

I’ve been following your channel for a while now ! And I love your work I’m running a skar 12 on a 1200.1d and skar 6.5 in all doors and 2 ds18 tweet on a 1200.1 taramps in 2006 gs300 how can I get more out of sound and power nobody seems to wanna try my big 3 upgrade

[@toxinfrost8747]

A lot of people don’t know the brutality of ab amps vs a d class amp

[@stevemaniaci4750]

Wow that. C a d. Makes no work an is so perfect nice job meade number one fan bud !!!!

[@ajayramdin8549]

Nice and clean work sir 😍😘😘

[@jskiz]

I remember the 4 18’s if i’m not mistaken!!!

[@TheWarriorz90]

What’s up Steve nice system, how much watts is it pushing

[@riym07]

1500x4 i belive

[@riym07]

Idk how many ohms

[@albert333pool]

Simply amazing!

[@kyddzofcali]

Man the Tahoe was full of dust 😔

[@cesarsalcedo85]

Hey big fan of ur work . Cause of u i my self got a 2015 Escalade. How much would it cost to do the same door panels

[@kyleshelton1636]

The ferrite motors on the factory 6x9s aren't as bad as I expected, honestly. Still not B2, but not the worst ever either.

[@kyleshelton1636]

I'm ridiculously excited about this series. Been waiting for years now.

[@tonasrodrigo]

Estou ansioso para vê o resultado final

[@dennisadkins8506]

I have a 2013 Hyundai Veloster that I'd love to add a couple of 12" subs to the existing Memphis 10s. My thing is that I would like or need advice on what to use and ways to do it. Right now I'm using Kicker coaxials in the doors with OEM tweeters and OEM dash speaker and the OEM subwoofer. I used an AudioControl speaker to RCA converter and have an Audiopipe 800w 4 channel amp and an Audiopipe 1k amp for my 10" Memphis subs. I'm considering redoing all the speakers but want 2 10s and 2 12s with some good amps and etc. Please advise me on some good ideas to boom.

[@alexsantana4395]

Mais um projeto muito top, show mesmo,

[@saschacubexyz]

Big thumb up 👍

[@txbeachbum]

Looking at 21 or 22 Escalade upgraded through Hennessey for performance. Would it be easier to upgrade sound, nothing crazy, tweeters a sub or two, amps, a similar head unit, etc..? Before or after performance mods?

[@Evo187]

2:40 i feel that and in smal cars i never had my back seats longer then 1 day😂😂

[@eddietelles6039]

Nice work

[@feeterican]

Would this be a good idea in the future? For anyone else that wants to do this to their door card. Hit up a junk yard or a pull a part and mod that so later on, if they want the vehicle to go back to factory to sell, they still have the original to install back in their car.

[@JamesBond-oc4gm]

Happy Thanksgiving

[@laurantsmccloskey5927]

That's the only quiet time I get too Steve... from like 4-5 when I make coffee wearing my leopard thong & tool belt nothing else...

[@woodstar2722]

[@Krotos1970]
