Modding my Cadillac Escalade door panels to fit more speakers - they're taking shape! Video 2

[@meade916]

PLEASE WATCH PREVIOUS VIDEO kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmqlhoCGmbOsb9U to understand why i am doing this. The new mids/highs will be mounted to the door in custom pods, and this is basically a big speaker grill. I really wanted to finish the panels before making this video but i changed my mind on a few things a few too many times. I originally had acrylic but I REALLY wanted to have aluminum trim rings to offset the black/black and match the tone of the metal door handle. I wanted the suede to match the suede up on the top portion. I am trying to make it looks like it kinda belongs. Hopefully i will have the tweeter pods done and the rest of the mids/highs in. Catch daily updates here in the meantime >> instagram.com/meade916 thanks for watching if you did!

[@vongdong10]

That aluminium trim piece is an extremely nice touch

[@rathomas2]

NICE!! The trim rings give the entire thing a OEM look & feel.

[@meade916]

that was the goal. I actually have some rings i made of ABS and shot them with an aluminum color'ed paint. I didn't expect the paint to look like metal, i just expected it to look clean. It did. But it just wasn't right...i really wanted the real thing. So i scored some! (1/4" flat stock) :) thanks Rich!

[@chrismcbride7935]

hey Steve way to go man love the panels it looks like u never cut it up what so ever and it matches everything in the caddy very nice wrk

[@meade916]

thanks Chris!

[@bassheadson]

It looks so good and made it look like it look like they came from the factory

[@elcafecats]

Even though the caddy isn't done it looks really good, can't wait to see more videos on it

[@georgesrisomsak9650]

Nice man, these are the videos that get the creative juices flowing. I like the fit and finish working around that door pocket. Very clean sir. Gave me some ideas! Thanks for sharing!

[@meade916]

thanks George!

[@thewhat1214]

Wow that trim aluminum piece sets if off great work!👍👍

[@telcoman8577]

What a talent and craftsmanship.

[@midnightmazda]

What goes through your head when cutting door panels? Always has been nerve racking for me for some reason. Great work as usual 🤘🏻.

[@thisvsthat6930]

Just buy spares from the junk yard. Relatively inexpensive.

[@anicetomaldonado]

Practice on junk yard door panels or just cut up junk yard panels and keep the stocks for reselling the vehicle later.

[@imnotawasteoftime]

@@thisvsthat6930 even from a junkyard, those are 200-400 door panels. On something much older, sure, they'll be

[@mkultra814]

Just cut it and go with it easy.

[@kyboy5]

It's easy to do on a GM product lets see him do a new Grand Wagoneer 2009 called they want they escalade back

[@YMBFT]

That’s clean. Real OEM+ feel on the doors

[@kevinl3892]

[@treycochran1969]

I just want to know what kind of glue is being used to bond the wood to the plastic. Super nice door panels!

[@jimmyjam5588]

[@DVBin916]

Looking bad ass Steve!!!

[@edycalderon1282]

Nice speaker grill👍👍

[@corriroane4758]

Good shit as usual bro!!!

[@jsm42050]

That metal trim would be sick rock tumbled, but its prolly to thin huh? But damn that shit is bad ass dude ✌️👍

[@meade916]

it isn't too thin. It looks better like this than it would be in the tumbler. Or i would have tumbled it. Right now, it looks how i wanted it too look. Not too dull, not too shiny. Almost like a stainless look, like the door handle. Thanks Justin! :)

[@realphahtx]

Incredible videos such an inspiration!!!!

[@rawwhite318]

I really want to play a drinking game that every time Steve looks at the camera to make sure it’s running everybody drinks.

[@meade916]

other than when i talk, i don't think i look at the camera very much. Usually i edit that out.

[@midu7467]

So fkn clean..... Cadillac, take notes, step up your game lol

[@208miuwu]

That is so Primo Damn brother. No more having to hold, glass and twist things. Just CAD and let the laser do it.

[@meade916]

except i did hold, glass and twist things. Still. LOL. The laser doesn't just "do it". I still have to put work in. Thanks man!

[@bigbusa881]

Insane quality 👌

[@chancequesnelle3140]

YES!!! FINALLY!!

[@darlenetyler3639]

[@CarlDickensJr]

Looks like they came with the truck

[@ragextico]

I wish I had the tools to do something like this. Looks so damn clean

[@meade916]

you do. Your hands. I did it for 35 years before i got my first machine (laser or cnc) of any kind. Just takes a little longer but it can look just as good. :) thanks man!

[@ragextico]

@@meade916 hell ya. Just gotta have the drive💪🏼💯

[@meade916]

the shop is stupid busy right now too so it is hard to make time for this and once i get out of my groove it is hard to get going again. I can't wait to just get this done and move on to other stuff that i been needing to do. Thanks man!

[@cooldude7222]

? I have a 2019 tahoe with 2 CVX kicker 12” and a hi-phonics Brutus 3200 or 3400 . With a epicenter. How do I keep my lights from dimming . My amp not even turned up pass the half way mark

[@meade916]

look for a bigger alternator. As for the "amp not turned up pass the halfway part" what does that even mean? Take it directly to a shop and have them set your gain correctly. A gain is not a volume knob.

[@mike.hunt420]

I remember the Tahoe doors
