That was back in like 2011 or something

@@Buzztopher7 i first found him on youtube playing salt shaker at his old job, where all the windows definitely shaked, that was 07 or 08, that was the old escalade with the 8 18's edit: no that was the 01 Tahoe with 4 Fi BTL's and in 07

I actually love watching wiring videos. Just something about it that is satisfying to me. Especially how you be wiring up the amps

I really enjoyed when you wired the elements while the signal was running. Really illustrated how the signal path goes from dsp through it's amp and to the element.

Steve my guy you are the best for real the passion for your builds is amazing. This build is coming out so 🔥 real talk. It will definitely be a banger when completed. You and your family have a great memorial day weekend and stay safe 🙏 ✌

[@jlspunn]

A lot of us were little kids when Steve started in car audio, all them years of experience it certainly shows in his builds. some things never change though, the scissors and cardboard is still the best way for mock up. It’s definitely been a useful trick for me during my years, im only amateur though. I’m amazed on how nice this build is, then he comes out with something new and I’m just like damn…..it’s usually damn near flawless. He is inspiring so many people, including myself. One of these days I’d love to get an enclosure that at least has that design, it’s nothing short of amazing. It’s nice as fu(k

If you ever think of re-doing the meter bracket maybe add some fingers to separate out the channels. Just a thought.
