[porbyza]

[P0RBY]

Very good, ilike this video

[nolimitsfishing]

The intro was sick as fuck haha

[Maxxarcade]

That is some bad ass stuff. Makes my small rig look like an iPod docking station.

[erick23ortega]

where did u buy that at

[04231938]

where did you get the amp rack???

[MrOhyeah2000]

boxes of goodies and steake knifes yea

[MyCosmicPath]

I need a dbx crossover for my cinema room.,



[DJTightSHYTZ]

Anthony's a good camera man

[Katzmusic112]

i wish i could just have boxes to open :( lol

[BigLove101]

NICE RACK!! As always Steve, good stuff. Tuned in to see what you do next.

[bassmansoundking99]

Didnt read all the posts, but is the breaker an issue still? If so are you gonna run a dedicated circuit with like 10/3 romex or something? looks great dude btw!!

[freakskater655]

ARNOLD PALMER AT 3:06 MY FAVORITE!!

[iceman1991101]

Where did you get the metal rack? what kind is it?

[3424icecube]

quik tip- before u turn on the mixer u have to make sure that all your faders are all down are it can blow your speakers.

[djmarco450]

my music teacher has the same mixer its a nice mixer tho

[TheEnglishHobo]

'Tis a thing o' beauty :')

[devilguy35]

i am down with your steak knife

[musicman257]

you might have to run a seperate breaker in your shop thats what i had to do in my studio to run all my equipment since i did that have know problem turning everthing on at once.nice system i bet you can rock the block with that much power.

[ZiQuX]

you shud buy amps from labgruppen !

[WeAreTwoDoorsDown]

If you have enough room, I would go back and leave one rack space (1u) between each amp.

[meade916]

@WeAreTwoDoorsDown no need...they dont have heat syncs on them. They are fan cooled.

[WeAreTwoDoorsDown]

@meade916 Oh, I thought they had vent holes on the top and bottom... I don't own one of these, and I probably never will. Actually, it's like the main thing I want for my birthday, so hopefully I will.

[ikdsjOFFICIAL]

god .. cool wonerful

[mkjillm]

those equipments are my dream

[MrRobban1234]

subbed for steak knife!

[KELSSSPSH253]

Are you ever taking on internships? 

[sexybo108]

@ meade916 whats a good sub to use with a 4000 watt amp

[AllHailZeppelin]

It would be awesome if you could do a video showing the wiring in more detail

[meade916]

@AllHailZeppelin i will when i wire up box #2 bro. The first one, to be honest, i wanted to make sure it worked before i ran film on it haha. It was perfect but you never know!

[manny30250]

@meade916 What's gonna happen when get to old and your bored of your bass?

[Fr0z3nFr0g]

you should definitely get a high quality uninterruptible power supply/line conditioner for all of that very nice, very expensive equipment. also to help take excess noise out of the power lines, seeing as how it is a shop, and theres going to be lots of motors in saws, grinders, drills, you know....everywhere theres a motor theirs noise.

[DJJASONPRODUCER]

Hey bro you should add a 31band EQ on it so you can really have a clean soundind system =]

[TheyDontWantMusic]

you're going to need a lot more efficiency than what two 18inch subs off 3kw a piece will give you when you have basically zero cabin gain.

I'd be doing tapped horns for sure.

[low72]

ahh yes, that feeling when the UPS truck shows up, such a good, special feeling

[9806180]

I'm down with the steak knife i use one every time i have box to open

[KbNoyz]

Yo Mead you should power on your system the other way from the top down so that you get know spikes to your amps....I like the shop!

[SpinnaSlimm]

Hey, the Driverack has a dual 28 band eq, a 3 band parametric eq, crossover and so much more, if you haven't figured it out already. Just a friendly FYI but then I do understand personal preference, I have seen some professional setups use both the Driverack and eq's, seeing how serious you are about sound, you know what you're doing. On a lighter note, you're living the dream

[ChrisZTheMan]

steve i gotta show u wat i got if ur looking for good shit subs for ur shop look at qsc audio's site they got great fuckin subs it sounds like a 140 thats only 6000 watts i promiss they wont dissapoint u

[meade916]

@ChrisZTheMan sorry bro im running SMD's.....thanks anyway!

[wallace86442]

@meade916 Nice I can't wait for the completion video I wanna hear it =)

[NykJones1]

I can't wait to see it finished, It's gonna be sick

[PINKY187187187]

When you having the party? Are we invited? We've been watching you for a long time and learned a lot from your vids. Always looking forward to your new projects. Thanks man!

[the1337flatland]

Kid in a candy store haha

[worgoten2]

opening boxes tht have audio products rules as well :D

[worgoten2]

yeah!!! steak knifes rule :D

[DjMixMasterTheKid]

@4:05 I have those logitech speakers to the left

[djstevesupreme]

dbx make killer shit

[EB8301]

dude nice clean install. all the wiring on the tower looks CLEAN! when the rack is done are you gonna put sides on it to cover it all up. maybe w/ some SMD logos?

[gozma]

thats an awesome portable PA christmas tree... can i put star on top?

[reppin49dank]

@meade916why not get a bigger breaker? or ask a electrican to come by and help you with that problem?

btw im not like dising. its just i was told sense i wanted to put 1 18 smd in my house, that i would need a really powerful PA amp and a outlet that is good enough. i haven't gotten into details as i am still confused on what that guy on the phone was telling me

[hull257]

11 people do not have ears

[The661goodtimes]

thats whats up ,it aint no machete but steak knife works! =)

[mr740]

@meade916 So this is the third mixing board you use with those XTi 4000 amps? Man, whish my paycheck was big enough to pay for a hobby like yours :) But i guess it`s not as expensive in the US as in norway. For example, the RF 2500.1 BD Costs aprox. 2400 USD retail in norway. don`t know how much they cost in the US.

[Jonsman91]

LOL tight steak knife...

steves going to the PA league :D



[grega224]

nice work  :D i liked

[CorvetteKillingDSM]

What kind of power lines do you have to have to feed all those amps?

[bpolice20]

Thats a good sound system.....I used to work one of them at church....and I have the DBX thing 2

[ToxicAnthem]

how much did everything in this vid run you?

[sunn1e]

Meade i been watching your vids for about 6 months but i live in the uk, can you do me a favour and get a better quality mic so i can here it better coz ill never be able to get over to you, if you come here let me kno

[lauris47]

Why don't create a music studio ?

[r22thomas]

technically you powered everything on backwards. The driverack can destroy speakers if you shut it off before amps.

[meade916]

@r22thomas i didnt shut it off on camera so how do you know? Besides, this video is just me turning it on to see if it works there wasnt even anything but an old by-nine playing to see if i could get sound.  Thanks for the observation though LOL

[bpolice20]

@r22thomas Yea it can

[r22thomas]

the driverack pa is an amazing all in one audio processor!

[coreygnar]

so what are you gonna use this system for? the shop? house?

or are you gonna start djing? thatd be tight

[lilniconico]

Arnold Palmer, YES 

[chadmain]

Man, I'm jealous lol!

You always got sick projects on the go.

[TheRye69]

your the best,hello fron t.o. canada

[rjrocks45]

thats a really awesome power house stereo system can't wait to hear with the right speaker setup

[mr740]

@meade916 Is the mixing board new as well? couldn`t find any "unboxing" videos of it? and it did look a little bigger than the one in the video with only the XTi 4000`s.

[meade916]

@mr740 got it from a friend so no unboxing vids of that one! The one i just bought the week before is now collecting dust LOL DAMN!

[ImodWaWtenth65]

send some shit my way...

[mrchrisk36]

damn! its about to get live in the shop! are ya gonna have a meet up so we can hear this monster system

[huntercaravel]

WHAT IS THIS SETUP COSTING U WITH AMPS SPEAKER SUBS ECT..

[huntercaravel]

KEEP IT UP BRO U DO SOME SICK SHIT U ISPIRE ME..PEACE

[GhostFire218]

Hey steve do you have already tried "lil jon da blow" in your car?

[SoCoMx309]

Jeeze you be making mad money bro, can you get me a new amp?

[DJDOMINATE00]

that dbx looks good.. im planning doing something similair to my room... but they might be a possibility that a breaker can go off once you have every amp doing something.. i could be wrong... looking foward to this!!!!!!

[281MeXiCaN713]

A DJ'S DREAM

damn i wish i had a job like you

cuz i love sound systems too

[cshslacrosse7]

impressive shit as always, some top notch stuff. i wish i was this good at being an all around sound guy

[slipdisc]

Very nice Steve. Those Crown amps will serve you well. I have one of each myself.

Be sure to keep us updated with your progress.

[xkj208]

omfg lol im 16 and a mobile dj (check my oldest vid to see) and this is even louder than what i got! you must be a millionair!

[s10on31s]

Steve man, i aspire to build what you have built, if you ever come to CT or anywhere in the northeast you need to let up know, ill be there!

[1983XR500]

Amazing system!!! Is that for me? Haha! How much does a sick system like that cost?

[bachwacker]

wow, I can't wait til its done...

[kipperj7710]

As a mobile DJ, I just want you to know that this system is intimidating.

[meade916]

@kipperj7710 as a PA noob, i want you to know that what you said makes me happy :) LOL! thanks man!!!

[F3ARoSPARTAN]

@meade916 LMAO thats awsome

[Mikelansing23]

@meade916 your from PA?

[keanan00709alex]

love your vids man

[vaslim82]

I'm thinking about getting 1 Fi Btl 12. What size box should I have built and how many cf? And what size and brand amp?? Right now I just have 2 Memphis M3s and a Memphis Pr1000.1 and I want to upgrade!!

[reppin49dank]

evantually i am going to go for a really great home audio system. i was either thinking of getting a 18 inch smd and running that at rms or maybe 4k

of a incriminator audio warden and run that at 5k

sense it can handle it

not to say the smd can't is just the guys i know who will build my box etc

said their better with IA products

and have never used a smd

[TheRrrichard]

hey Steve if your gonna be running this set up on the same breaker you will trip it for sure one 15 amp breaker on the panel is designed for 1500 watts max then code allows %80 rms so 14 gauge wire used for the plugs don't overheat and melt.

Best bet is to run each amp on it own breaker 20 amp preferred. and if the 4000 watt crowns have two plugs each??? then a 20 amp split receptacle would be needed to power them to the full potential. so you may need to run few new lines to the panel ..

[nicks1258]

i've got the same crossover! its nice, i also have two yamaha amps (4,000watts each i believe, then two yamaha 2(speakers)x14" speakers and right now only one yamaha 2(speakers)x18" bass

[reppin49dank]

Arnold Palmer is also 1 of the best golfers ever

but i guess nobody here knows that :(

[jggazzola]

P = VI

10 400W = 120V x I

10 400W/120V = I

=86.67Amps

[Crackheadrobot]

i knew it lol

[derickglancy]

subscribe for the arnold palmer

[josetorres192450]

That shits gnna be knockin

You are gonna set off the alarm next door again like u did with the tahoe

Much love

[SergeantPope]

I like how the wires were clean. That's how i have all of my stuff aswell =)

[desil563]

@meade916 I agree, nothing beats opening a box from UPS like a steak knife LOL

[MrzXRob]

[jp198780]

steve my friend, you are awesome

[cheetara7172]

cool beans man thats gonna rock

[freezer123456]

nice stuff man, i have a question for steve or anyone with suggestions i have 2 alpine type r running at 2 ohm, the 600 watt each for a total of 1200 watt, i need a good amp pair up i was looking at the alpine mrp m1000 but tryin to look for a little more im not to sure about the alpine pdx m12 cause there are no reviews big price difference and people say the 1st generation pdx suck, any ideas? lookin to spend between 250-400

[RexshaTheOneAndOnly]

[BBS86able]

[Randdady]

steve i gotta question for yah... i have an 05 monte carlo with two jl audio wo's and a j.2 500 watt amp.. im going to put in two tr650-cxi speakers in the rear deck and ill swap the front speakers out for something i haven't decided on yet.. what i need help on is picking out a head unit because im not sure how many watts i need from it or anything really or what brands make good head units.

I love steak knives. In fact, I prefer them over the big cumbersome knives to cut up veggies and stuff. Tomato's onions etc.

Hey Steve, Chicken's 'Lade is ALWAYS chillin' in your shop! How often does he come and take it out for a spin? ;)

[Cruzinon22s]

We use Crown amps at church. Split your amps onto two different circuits and you will never have a problem. We have 3 amps per circuit with no issues.

[bcss11]

Anyone want to give me an idea of how much that setup is worth?

[MountainMonsters]

@bcss11 Probably 15 grand on the rack so far...
