Reviving the 'Hoe 2020 (More Volts = More BASS!) 2001 Chevy Tahoe Ripping it out video 1

visit: www.stevemeaded... - Join our fun, friendly and knowledgeable community today!
Last January while i was in Vegas for CES, someone knocked my beloved hoe off of her life support. Usually she is good for about 4-5 days tops when not hooked up to the wall. I have 11 year old batteries under the bottom...and they have for sure taken abuse but as long as they were on their intellicharger by the end of the evening they did fine. This time though, i came home to about 2 volts. She has been sitting ever since. The shop is a VERY busy place so it is easy to ignore it and let it collect dust. But i couldn't take it anymore! Join me on this journey to revive my Hoe! The ORIGINAL hoe! The hoe that made you want a hoe for yourself!

guys, on the last video for the Skar gear, there were SO MANY COMMENTS! I am still reading them daily! I will give it away soon. In the meantime, subscribe and hit your notifications button. This Tahoe should be on another level compared to what it just was with a couple extra volts. Plus i suspect i was suffering for a long time. That is all going to change soon! I did a live stream about this on my IG channel so if you want to see us talk more about this, plus Brandon eating a disgusting piece of 6 year old pop corn he found....NASTY!!!! follow here >>> instagram.com/meade916

[@joshuamccoy5916]

Yeah man the comments blew up for sure.

[@JohnG1000]

Don't sweat it . Let's see them Audio Control amps connected and tested 👀

[@lifewithmarleyandjon4616]

Cant wait to see how it slaps with the new found power! Mama Meade needs to do a hair trick when its all back together for old times sake.

[@damianmoreno3676]

[@216malc]

@@ernestgary6812 still do, tore up a lot of shit trying to do everything he did. Installed a buss bar and three batteries for one 12 cause i seen him do it 😂😂😂

[@DDClowers]

Can't lie Steve, I am overjoyed that the Tahoe is getting some new found love! This SUV was the start of it all for me. I remember when it was a gold color. All the updates and all the love it got made it a legendary vehicle for sure. Now that it is getting an update of sorts is refreshing. Can't wait to see the Tahoe back bumpin again. I will be tuned in!!

[@bkmTEC]

Man I agree I feel the same way. Shit I remember being a kid watching all of it. Now I got a Tahoe that beats hard. Mines is set up a little different but he inspired it.

[@ericpcronic]

15 years old and still the baddest thing on KZbin!

[@shanesubashe787]

I still like watching the original videos of this build. A lot of old school pro tips.

[@supraboy03]

Only real OG'S new the Tahoe when it was gray we still love it

[@DJKEYS-br1xh]

Are when he did that drive thru.. bass blast. I t was a gold or tan coller

[@Smoothcriminal_1]

That Tahoe is a piece of history man. I love it!

[@hippiman24]

Brings back memories of following the original build back in the day.

[@chriskinder8209]

That's the Tahoe that got me hooked on car audio!🔥🔥

[@reamsgregoryb]

Crazy. I think I was a freshman in high school when I found this build. Now look at me... 26 hating life😂

[@pbrimfield]

This build was when I first started watching your videos Steve.

[@lifewithdrewkang3415]

Been waiting on this. I watch this whole truck build many years ago. That had to be over 10 years ago. I'm ready again 📽️🏃🏃🤸🤸😂

[@That0neGeye]

Man seeing the box out brings back so many memories of this build. What a beast!!

[@jgasparrr69]

Love this truck. Been watching this truck since the old days with its OG tan factory paint

[@markbrown8141]

I would like to see Steve bring back the tremendous bass series back and doing demos again

[@meade916]

it's hard sometimes man! my business has blown up tremendously in the last 5 years...and showing no signs of letting up. It's hard to do everything i want to do :D The business is a priority for sure though.

[@Apooravsood]

This is the build that first Introduced me to your channel..

[@rosstv9463]

Been here since day 1 and the Tahoe is still looking magnificent, love the content as usual Steve , keep going 🙏🏾👊🏾

[@no_more_nyce_guy]

That is still one of the cleanest Tahoe’s I have ever seen. Remember when he was first putting it together.

[@GLENNTILE]

Used to work at music n motion. Chicago back in the late 90's. Man... I miss this shit. We did ultra high-end as well. But damn. I've been outta the mix for 20 years. Glad I see this new level of extreme installs

[@3RDERA]

Man I loved those power series components back from 2004 like yours. Before they started making t2,t3, etc. those silk domes that came with them were loud! Too bad it all got jacked In 2009 or else I’d still be using them. Tuned in fasho smd!!

[@johnclark3067]

Damn, I have always loved this Tahoe! Nice to see her get some updates. Will definitely be watching .

[@LiLthirtSty]

I remember seeing the video were the chicks eye popped out when it dropped and i was hooked been subscribed since and loved the journey steve😎🤘🔊

[@RYTHMICRIOT]

The other vehicles are nice but the hoe is the best vehicle that's been on this channel.

[@sidneyjohnson52]

Glad to see the Tahoe back. The ride that made me subscribe back in the day.

[@DeadShadoW466]

I don't have to wait for the next video to see what's under there because I was here when the HOE was built !!

[@marcoejohnson6076]

The Tahoe that started it all for me

[@josueramirez5919]

I used to watch the Tahoe in my brother old desktop back in the day had to log in to speed dial for internet and it would cut off the phone line memories and my brother yelling at me... 😂

[@cee-life]

[@PBWillyWonka]

The truck that start it all..

[@princecuddle]

Damn with those 14v batteries the Tahoe will finally graduate from its floaties and finally be able to swim its way to bass heaven. Ngl I was jealous all those years ago when I saw the build happening vid by vid and I still f**kn jealous. Wish I could hear it in person.

[@JohnG1000]

Can't wait for part 2 . I love Rockford . I think I'd trade my whole bass stage for one of those amps .

[@jayholt2101]

Any left us with the cliffhanger....

[@darrianbenjamin7292]

Yes sir! I can't wait to see what kind of new fire Steve will breathe into the Tahoe

[@vanillagorilla988]

Hell yeah dude! I’m in the middle of my first big build, I know the feeling of tearing the car up there’s nothing else like it!

[@alexflores1299]

So many secrets this Tahoe got 🤩so many amp´s under the subwoofer its crazy 😎

[@markmaldonado8056]

Yes the Tahoe is back

[@ag69192]

I wonder if he would change out the woofers. It would be insane seeing some pride UFO 18s, or even the Hutchinson NDFEB2 18s

[@angelpena1237]

That caddy set up looks sick in the line up can’t wait to see how u piece it together

[@pooman320]

steve is redoing the tahoe..... its not such a bad year after all.

[@derekstanley1624]

I can't imagine them door speakers being 100% badass being in a vehicle that's out in Cali heat for 10 plus years. I'd update everything!! But hey that's just me. Keep up the good work steve!!

[@CVLova]

MAN these cliffhangers 😂😂 excited to see the revival steve!

[@nolimits32218]

Sssssssooooo happy to see the Tahoe going back to where it all started lol ps #myeyepoppedout
