Thanks for watching the entire series if you did! If not, start here to see how the box was built from day 1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fF6uhINojr-ln5o

[@RockfordF150Bass]

meade916 dang brother I felt your pain!!! I've had 4 back surgeries and pain is getting worse. Docs said no more can be done for me!! Be safe brother and take care of your back man I really really hope you get better!👌👍

[@mrmadmike427]

awesome box Steve … wish I could use it... Need to find one of them carts the box is on that thing is exactly what I need …

[@chupamishuevos303]

Bro next time just ask for help we know u manly enough but messed up back is no joke.

[@meade916]

Harbor Freight brotha.....best thing i have bought in years! I love it!

[@justingriffith8486]

Hey Steve how got A box. Foom you

[@meade916]

how many of you have pulled your back really bad by just the wrong twist or turn? These subs are heavy but not THAT heavy.. It was more my posture as i set it down. Woops! I knew i was F'd for sure! i felt it! :D

[@mikep3322]

meade916 I pulled my back bending down to water a damn plant

[@MartinGomez-7911]

meade916 ...dude these 45 yr plus bodies just ain't like it was when we were 18...lol!! Box looks great...even if you were to consider putting it in the Cadi...it would be epic! 🤘🏼

[@markwentz8332]

Luckily i haven't done anything to bad to my back, i felt that when you reached for your back and said "ouch, ouch, ouch!" though!

[@lolophat5075]

meade916 happened to me all the time

[@KAuto26]

Pulled mine back in my 20s yanking on a breaker bar like an idiot. Now I’m pushing 40 and it reminds me of that day every time I pick some heavy shit up.

[@MrKKUT1984]

I been watching Steve for some time now and I gotta say I have never in the history of ever seen this man do shity work. His attention to detail is second to none. Amazing work man!

[@masterpanther1]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!. Can't wait to see it in somebody's SUV! It's going to be insane.

[@mannycuellar2332]

Had my phones bt hooked up to my truck.... the intro song hits pretty hard!!🔊🔊🔊

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

Put it up for sale, somebody will buy it. It's been asked several times about how much it'd be, but no response. It is a work of art. 👍 👍

[@nodutherone]

Work ethic, quality of materials and Steves design and attention to detail is second to none. An audio setup by SMD would be nothing short of amazing.

[@1974UTuber]

That's one hell of an eclectic music taste. Never thought I would hear Linda Rondstat Blue Bayou in one of your videos. Was one of my dad's favourite songs so you literally brought a tear to my eye

[@brettluepke7082]

Excellent workmanship, detail, and excecution. Theres no better sensation than producing a quality product by hand. Love your channel.

[@willmatic84]

That box is sick af 🙂👌 ...... 🤔 I could imagine how much the whole thing weight .....

[@dr.drob101]

That’s the dream box right here, heavy duty, nicely tuned and beautiful !!

[@jwollam]

Heck yeah man! Nice to see her all finished up. Looking killer as always!

[@rhkips]

Ah shit, as soon as I saw you jump I knew that pain. I've had non-inflammatory arthritis in my lower back since I was about 13 years old, and what you say about "picking up a piece of paper" is so freaking true. It's not about what you're doing, it's just your back suddenly deciding to stop being a back for a while. Argh! Glad you're feeling better, Steve! Skeletor is EPIC!

[@TheCpuCrew]

You should use that in the Caddy Steve. The color scheme goes with what you have under the hood. Love all that's SMD !

[@meade916]

it don't fit in the caddy haha! i tried. It was never intended to but i did raise it up with the cart just to see. It's too wide at the top.

[@aaronpoindexter8406]

That setup gonna bust someone’s windshield. Hell of job on an awesome build 🤘🏾🤘🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@erictheboringone5292]

Hands down the best sound out of any video ever created.

[@josea.garcia3994]

Great job Steve!!! 👍👍👍 Came out awesome!!! Looks like it's ready to go to a new happy owner!!! You should have no problem selling it if that's what you want to do next!!! ✌✌✌

[@wyndnra1n]

Steve I hear you playing that old school "bloods and crips" banging album! Respect to you and your hard work!

[@justinmetcalfe2669]

I know it's probably been said 100x by now, but the box is already black n white, matches the caddy already, I'm betting it'd look pretty sweet sitting back there.

[@meade916]

sure, if it would fit.

[@beerman9807]

Get help with them subs Steave , you did get lucky man it aint no joke being hurt from the back because i have had four back injuries feom lifting heavy items .I have a l4 l5 rupture and suffer everyday from pain .

[@magrumb]

Aw man, I’m 42 and know exactly how that probably felt. The mind is willing! Glad it didn’t shut you down for a few days. 😎

[@1017quin]

It's AMAZING how big this enclosure is.

[@jaredappleseed7037]

I would love to have this bad boy if it would fit in my Jetta sedan, looks awesome Steve hood job

[@Tkssa580]

“Blue Bayou” you be playing those classics Steve. Love it and the box.

[@bstceltics4]

Been waiting a while for this build to get finished lol, looks good

[@pyrosaxplayer12]

Every video shows your ultimate craftsmanship. Incredible detail. lol What i would give to have you create a custom box from THE SMD. Bravo man!

[@GodlessDad]

Hey Steve! Love the skelator box and glad your feeling better. Just wanted to let you know that alternating a TENS unit and ice will decrease those back twinge recovery times to a day or two. Been a sub for 6 years. Love your content.

[@kennymurray3365]

Dang man I’ve seen a lot of your stuff over the years you truly are the best at what you do!!!

[@terrencecalnimptewa7283]

Wow I'm amazed on how huge those speakers are and I'm imagining that being a huge home stereo" wowsers!!!

[@mrchrisk36]

The enclosure turned out very nice!! The black on the bottom was a nice touch even if it won't be seen

[@RockfordF150Bass]

That's alot of work that went into building that masterpiece!! But the outcome is unbelievably amazing!! 🇺🇸👌👍

[@Mikep1024]

Considering the white on black theme...I see the box finding its way in the caddy....

[@Mikep1024]

Oops nevermind... Just saw your comments that said it wouldn't fit

[@bob69075]

Now that's quality workmanship. Nice job Steve.

[@tjappie8860]

cant stop saying that this boxbuild is awesome nice work man

[@buster612003]

very cool video series! end product looks amazing. Im not an SPL guy, dont understand it, but appreciate being able to hear the entire audio spectrum accurately, guess that makes me an SQL guy. Getting ready to put something in my truck so I have been researching. this video series caught my attention, way over what Im going to build, but couldnt stop watching it. Your world consists of all of my hobbies, Im envious. Woodworking, electronics, fabrication, CNC, AUDIO etc...and nice shop equipped with good equipment.

[@lude4u2nv]

glad I'm not the only one still slapping that Bloods & Crips banging on wax Piru Love joint!!!

[@ferfin2]

Awesome box man! Someone mentioned doing a collab with Doug from SoundmanCA, I agree. I have a question, other than potential safety reasons, why didn't you use a custom white cable instead of red for the internal cables? You spent a ridiculous amount of time on the black and white box, then there's red cables visible from your beautiful windows. Anyone working on it would have known what it was. Was there a reason, or just didn't mind it?

[@meade916]

no need for custom white and black 8ga cables. Red and black looks good to me.

[@ferfin2]

Nuff said! :-) Thanks for the reply.

[@kennethbynumiii9083]

You and dug from sound man should do a collaboration together or a challenge or something

[@TheCj9860]

That's a legit box. Nicely done. I love it!

[@chkntndy7727]

Glad to see you recover well. I love everything about that box. I seen blue lights on it and the box kinda reminded me of cops 😂, aside from that, Very nice job. Can't wait to see the Caddy build video, and possibly the 6.7 build.

[@ronjlwhite8058]

Raging_Bullz77 the Caddy is gonna be dope as FK!!!

[@marcusscogin264]

If you were going to sell the set up how much would you sell it for

[@jonathanespindola1348]

Awesome craftsmanship as always Steve. Another project done at a 1,000%. Sux you hurt your back through the process though. Glad it wasn’t nothing major. Can’t wait to see the Escalade build.

[@Macross223]

Piru Love in the background-A great underground hit from the 90s

[@sdemer96]

Gotta love Rodney James Dio man. Love your work meade! Nice and organized.

[@kingsamoanOG]

Sounds like some old school BG Knoccout and Gangsta Dresta in the BackGround. Glad to see you still doing your thing producing bad ass Gear. 1Luv Brotha

[@rogeriorodriguez1212]

Respectfully, I completely agree it looks good.

[@lennydodson4223]

Awesome box and work love the videos and all your doing. Excellent job.

[@charleshamilton6177]

You do some of the best work I’ve seen. Thanks for the videos.

[@pyromonkee2510]

I would tell you to take it easy but that money ain't gonna make itself. Glad you're feeling better and it wasn't anything super serious.

[@ihavenocluewhatoput]

Had to have the box lit to install the subs. Baller. That box is awesome.

[@Brian_in_Vegas]

Damn that turned out so nice. I wish I could afford to have something built like this from your shop. 👍👍

[@jackjones7665]

DJ Quik....nostalgia!

[@spacheco]

Great advice on the proper lifting techniques. 👍🏽 It's a good thing you're doing better man. Back pains suck ass....

[@andrewwidows3822]

You're a BAMF buddy. Love your works of art!

[@RebelByBlood316]

Definitely need to see it demo at full power in somebody's ride

[@infidel24]

If I were a rich man, I'd throw a ridiculous amount of money at you for that box. It's a piece of art!

[@bob808]

If you don't have other plans for it, that would be one heck of a sub box for your RV! :D

[@meade916]

i would except its kinda hard to fire up 2 24" woofers at a campground haha! My Diamondboxx is loud enough and that is just cracking the volume up a little notch. I hear ya though! :D

[@savagebastard191]

Idk about anyone else but this was totally satisfying!!!! Great work of art as always brotha👌💪💪💪💪

[@CyberDunk2077]

Work Of Art!

[@ADR69]

Intro music always gets me hyped up

[@Nobody-th4gs]

1:55 and 10:45 you can once again see the 4 legged shop manager making sure things are top notch. Should of reminded him of proper lifting techniques though. 😰 Another great video bro.

[@adaboy4z]

I keep a Back Belt around the house and in my trunk. Hurt my back one! Nice work man.

[@Rcaceres]

your work never seems to amaze me. always 100% quality keep up the good work!!!!

[@davoupnya3202]

Beautiful job Steve and can't wait to hear it in a ride ! Peace my man !

[@MrBRUCELEE98]

That thing is a goddamn work of art!!!

[@bighomie4124]

I've been watching you build this dope ass box and the only thing I can think of you doing with it, is doing a giveaway to your loyal subscribers! That would be dope! Ever doper is if you did, and I won! Awesome work tho bro! Best I've ever seen

[@meade916]

nah. I would rather sell it instead or let it collect dust. Thanks anyway for the idea. lol

[@bighomie4124]

meade916 I tried it! Lol how bout a raffle?

[@BayBoyFiveDime]

That box is insane nice build Bro can’t wait to see what you do with it 👌💯💯

[@bigvell02]

Love the way it turned out. I think I started something in the car audio community here in Chicago I got people saying that system is Meade clean haha. Now others are saying it. I also have people saying Peace and Bass. & I will leave it here Peace and Bass brother :)

[@meade916]

fuck ya Big Vell bro. I love hearing that. Thanks!

[@brandidudley7309]

look at baby wanting to help.☺

[@Loudizzzzle]

Very cool box. A select few vehicles big enough for this to go in LOL. It would be dope in the Escalade but would add a bunch of weight which you probably don't want in it. LIKED!

[@MellowYe77ow]

It's too big for the Escalade.

[@wrench-qc8hh]

Clean build as always Steve!!!!! Love this shit!!!!!!

[@ELCARIN310]

Muy bonita Caja Steve! Se ve que pones mucha pasión y dedicación a lo que te gusta hacer Buen trabajo Adelante!! Saludos a todo tu equipo.

[@JeffreyStrader]

Excellent!................Them right there are Hernia Woofers!...LOL...I got 8 herniated vertebra thanks to getting rear ended at a red light. I know the pain quiet well.

[@shannonmccully5989]

Beauty job ! Keep it up. Great video series

[@ronjlwhite8058]

For my enclosure lights im using a SMD speaker terminal. Using an SMD copper speaker terminal for my W7s. May just swap out to another copper joint for the lights...the copper pieces are fuckin sick!!!

[@rlg222]

Beautiful finished Job Steve!

[@ajdavis98775]

Damn I wish I had the budget for one of those SMD custom boxes. He work is very very nice and thorough. Wish you had a shop over here near Chicago. Keep up the good work.

[@YoSamiteSam]

@2:11 I totally thought you were pulling a Soundman prank right there.. I guess I watch too many of Doug's videos.. Glad your okay 👍🏼

[@sidewalkcrackinmf9678]

Im feelin that gangsta shit. That Piru Love from Bangin on Wax.

[@kiabass8798]

Pretty clean box build

[@dcheney4197]

That has more bass then my home M&K subwoofers; ( each housing dual 12" drivers in a push- pull enclosure). I bet that beast has more bass then our local commerical theater.

[@DJKEYS-br1xh]

well that just makes it more intresting to see what your gonna put in the caddy..

[@kenyons737]

Can you at least put some low beats in the background for us to bump out to while we watch you build. Love that deep bass for those of us with full range speakers on our computers. I miss the Low Bass warning. Box is DOPE!!!!!

[@scottieluther4328]

A beautiful box i wish i have one for my 15" made just like that

[@ghost-oj7fh]

Looks good. I like it

[@iPACKgoldDOTS]

I've seen that little jig after lifting something heavy a great many times. I'm glad it was nothing serious

[@SecondSkinAudio]

Nice looking work with the Second Skin Butyl Rope......Love seeing you in that super soft Second Skin shirt!!!! #SecondSkinForTheWin #SMDFTW

[@brianoliver7680]

Brother you gotta take care of yourself. I have a lift in the shop I use for everything. Awesome job on the box!

[@meade916]

your lift isn't lifting those subs out of the box. Thanks though! :D

[@brianoliver7680]

meade916 yeah we use eyebolts with an electric hoist. It's not because of the weight, its because of the awkward positioning of your body. Watch all the videos and keep them coming. I will be up loading some projects that I've been working on later this year.

[@davidspl]

Steve Meade beautiful job in tha Sub Box.

[@mnjsbdjkshdwtomlinson7729]

very nice mr meade i have 12 inch mtx thunders i got in 2006 im happy with them , some loser stole my 2 autotek mean machines . thats what i used . 1800 per speaker is a little high for the sundowns

[@Rendraco79]

Hey man, a back injury is serious thing!, and about that, as a game of thrones nerd said... "BEND THE KNEE"! Nice build steve greetings!

[@surjitgill329]

Video quality looks awesome, i see the upgrade 👍🏽

[@joealvarez3507]

Hit the ports with black bed liner. To give of that Sinister glow from the deep dark depths. Just my opinion but this build was killer from start to end great work bro. 👍👍👍👍

[@meade916]

no. but thanks.

[@garyhundsrucker7771]

I'm rehousing a Marshall amp guts into a (surprise secret) shape and worried if it was gonna be too big but after seeing this big bad boy amp I know bigger is better!Nice work!

[@LenSilvester]

Another awesome build Steve!! Sure it might have taken a while to get to the end results, however, it was much quicker then ANY box that Doug dude over at Soundman builds :-). What LED strips and controller are you using that your confident will handle that bass? There are so many cheap ones out that either don't stick, light burn out after a few weeks or the BT controller only works at 5 feet away. thanks, cheers!

[@kevinstanfield7591]

Hey man been following since day one but first comment to you that's one hell of a box from Cali myself but now in FL. Keep up the good work you came a LONG WAY !

[@Christopher-et7bc]

Steve be careful bro. Glad your feeling better

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

turned out great steve .....

[@brookeleimgruber860]

My son said hed put it in a grand marque rear seat bolted down. On 4 banda Viking 10ks and do a kerfed wall so the ports blow up torward the roof and moves into the cabins

[@TheNightWolfeX]

Hell those subs must weigh a hell ton. They'll sound beautiful though I bet, and hey I'm glad your ok though Steve. I know what that feels like. I got a bad back myself and I've pulled a muscle once or twice.
