AMP RACK WIRED UP & FIRED UP! Tahoe System Rebuild (Vid 15)

[Max1636]

Do you worry about interference from the power wires to the line/speaker cables at all Steve?

[meade916]

@Max1636 nope.....i have zero engine noise. Got lucky this time LOL - Engine noise is the Devil!!! hahah Running all your positives and all your neg's to ONE SPOT is the key to a noise free system though. It looks like a lot of stuff but its a lot of stuff in the same spot.

[ThePencilShredder]

Hey steve how did u learn to upholster??

[meade916]

@ThePencilShredder i dont know how to upholster per-say. I am good at wrapping things and getting creative when i have to - but i cant sew at all. Never tried. I need to learn :D

[ThePencilShredder]

@meade916 haha well what ever you would call it, it looks damn good. My sister has a sewing machine I should learn to use! haha by the way its TWOSTROKEKING from SMD.

[corebass420]

What size fuse did you use for each of those bad boys? Rockford's site says 250. Is that what you used? I'm about to get one to push a d1 m2 xL 12" from DC.

[030233854914]

[bocaj3400]

[marcella222222]

hello raga as the song is called the minute 1.24

[davidsstilltippin]

hey what brand wire do you use ??

[jdubcbr600]

Are you using dry cell batteries? I have never seen those batteries your using before, are they some kind of brand used by car audio nuts? Not real big into bass anymore but came across your channel and realized more people are into it now than ever before.

[AGRG9]

u r a sick bastard!!!!! I ADMIRE YOU!!! SICK SYSTEM DUDE! so freaken insane!!

[MrJayware]

The amout of 8 gauge is nuts

[MrTuckleberry]

mate that same cable powers my whole house!!! do the cables run back to EDF energy?? lol i assume they arent 12v? looks the dogs ball bags!!!

[shaynecsmith520]

why didnt you do fuses on your distributor thing? not trying to tell you what to do just wondering

[meade916]

@shaynecsmith520 i did

[shaynecsmith520]

@meade916 oh where at? you must have done a good job at hiding them haha

[trujay2]

@meade916 how heavy do you think the box loaded is?? and how many guys would it take to lift it you think?? lol i love your system man.

[meade916]

@trujay2 mmmmmmmmmif i had to guess, i would say 550-600lbs. Takes 2 CONFIDENT people with a good grip to get it out :)

[dubitup2]

whats the song at 2:25 ?

[fbmowner]

Deftones sounds awesome on my 3 12's, can only imagine how it sounds on your new 30k system

[MetalCranium3]

Have you tried any heavy metal through the caddy? that double bass pedal tears me up on my small system :)

[cripoutloc]

SMD TILL DEY BURY ME XD

[OMa732R]

so ur runnin 6600 watts to each btl can they handle that much power??

[DudeWithaPage]

i dont mean to be a troll hear but if you have three fans blowing and three fans sucking but only two in the middle doesnt that put strain on the 2 in the middle?

[DudeWithaPage]

i dont mean to be a troll hear but if you have 3 fans blowing and 3 fans sucking but only 2 in the middle doesnt that put strain on the 2 in the middle?

[kc550]

Word, nice setup, gives you that feeling of accomplishment after that's for sure.

[giglyboyo]

how do you run all the rca's to the deck? thats alot of jack

[ewillsr]

@ewillsr I meant the amp.s have OUTPUTS

[ewillsr]

@giglyboyo Most Head Units have at least 4 sets of RCA's: 3 in 1 out. The Amp.s have inputs & outputs as well so they pretty much have the same input (or the input from the other Amp.s)...Get it?

[MrMTXaudio]

yoo steve i really like your work and style keep up da good work

[Macktownful]

steve man you barrely have any ink

[lovegod1972]

Bad steve. How tall are the amps cause my idea would be to add a 1/2" lift under the amps so air goes over & under

[WoodyVagina]

you think you can give me an estimate of how much you spent in wires?

[knotdrummer88]

wouldnt that suck if he accidently cut them all too short? haha, but with steve meade i know that wouldnt happen!

[DudeWithaPage]

doing it real big right now

[CuDaBoY223]

WHAT GAUGE WIRE IS THAT?

[CRSHDMY]

@CuDaBoY223 all 0/1 gauge man... Steves either go big or go home... 0/1 gauge is tight, iv got it hooked up to my amp, it looks good and its just cool to say hey, iv got huge ass wire in my car!

[massmurdere]

why do i here a high pinched ring????

[matthewjvids]

how is rockford fosgate compared to soundstream?

[jlaudioW7135]

Madness I tell ya, madness. It looks so delicious. I run 4 1000/1 slashes off distribution blocks with 4 13.5 w7s, all jl, of course, and u makin me look super lazy. Lol. Nice work brother

[chadmain]

How do you have those fans wired?

Are they running 24/7 or come on when the amps come on or what?

Any reply would be sickk,

Thanks

[BloodyFingerz]

damn that wirings probably heavier then both my 12's.. whats that song playing in the background? from 2:54 - 3:10 anyone?" thanks

[saulocasado144762]

First I congratulate you for the wonderful job you do a great job already learned a lot from you and would love to live there next to you and ask for me to be his apprentice but unfortunately I am a Brazilian and I do not speak English but thanks for sharing their knowledge with the world once again congratulations on the wonderful work and be with God ...

[ShowtimeSPL]

Those New Rockford Amps are very nice indeed.

[BassOnABudget]

I think meadewannabe was talking to the guy below him.

[BassOnABudget]

Lol. The terminals on my sub only just take 10 gauge. :P cheap $30 sub. Ur system rocks Steve!

[panterror17]

lovin the deftones man mad props

[Meadewannabe]

Run 4awg to ur amp min. Even if it's over kill u will never have any probs.

[meade916]

are you talking to me?

[WoodyVagina]

@meade916 LOL some people act as if you are an idiot or something

[dodgechargercrazy]

@meade916 is 14gage speaker wire good for 1 12?

[LYLE971]

@dodgechargercrazy NO THAT TO LITTLE.MIN I WOULD GO IS 12AWG ON MY SUBS.:-)

[calvinblinkee]

@LYLE971 nah it'll be fine unless he's running a lot of power

[kevinthematthews]

dude i'm pretty sure he uses 0 g. for his amp.

[aleksdapwner]

im getting an upgrade and 4 gauge is included.

[Z71GALLA]

@Meadewannabe that would be 0 gauge

[fatboik11]

@Meadewannabe pff who needs that pussy 4 gauge??

[fingerboy18]

@Meadewannabe There's a nice little chart put out by American Wire Gauge. Amps vs. Gauge per foot. I'm sure this guy knows that.

[wcsk8er2010]

@Meadewannabe i think he knows what hes doing..and obviously hes doing it pretty damn good

[aleksdapwner]

8 gauge speaker wire???!?!? holy hell. my amp wire isnt 8 gauge! mad props for the build steve. MAD PROPS.

[kevinthematthews]

dude, 8 g. is nothing. a lot of people use 0 g. for their amp and speaker wire.

[aleksdapwner]

i know. for me thats a lot. cuz im saying that my amp wire is 12 G.

[kevinthematthews]

wow. you're amp wire is 12 g? what you running?

[AmazeMJ]

isnt it bad if you have hot air blowing on ur other amp outside of the ampbox ?...(the ones closer to the seat)

[streetpunk99]

how did you get the fans to shut off when the trucks not on?

[djjdnap]

@streetpunk99

REM wire...

that way they only cut on when the amps r on.

[streetpunk99]

I kind of figured that.

[chadmain]

@djjdnap

How though? Just curious, where would you hook the fans up...like where would the power go and where would the REM go?

[rotel1080man]

was that rockford fosgate cable you where using

[Mikehawk187]

DEF MUTHA FUCKEN TONES!!!

[maidenfan85]

that's just too big man :d:d

wtf

it has more power than a music festival :d

[213krew]

I FUCKIN WISH!!!!!!!!!

[slapoutz]

thats only one of the 3! holy crap how do you fit all this in your tahoe steve.

[PeeDubbbb]

lovin your ipod brother deftones are the shit. good work on that tahoe man your system is so clean. i wanna hear some x-raided or some hollow tip thru that thing.

[TDMaudio]

this may be a dumb question but, does he get any problems running his RCA cables that close to his power and ground ?

[bailey2829]

@TDMaudio with sub amps it doesnt matter cuz the alternator frequencies are so high you cant hear them through the subs. also, i think the rf 360's he hooks up to them have a feature to cancel whine.

[skittlesRgood182]

or its because they sponcer him lol. its all great stuff he is using but to say its the best on the market is just wrong.

[skittlesRgood182]

it all looks nice but i know way too many people that are a lot louder than him for me to really be impressed. meade is all about looks and he's good at it, no doubt, but im a numbers guy. its all car audio and its all for fun.

[TheAustinHenry]

or because it would be wrong to not us RF stuff, they custom make him car audio equipment.. who else would he use?

[666wattz]

what a mix of music dude

[meade916]

Never know what you will get when my ipod is shuffling :D :D

[assassinblade590]

@meade916 i know how that one is XD i have about 5k songs on mine XD

[oerllikon2]

Likin the metallica dude

[TruNerd3]

man i just got my 1st SPL subs, and i must say NASTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUDE its fuckin krazy my damn back seat fell off hahah shits, great man, love your video lol no homo

[EZY010]

man those cables are the size of my garden hose!

[32badboyz]

AWSOME

[ELECKTROCEASCA]

HOLY S**T !!!!!!!

[DracluFlang78]

Is 2 MTX 10's with a Pioneer 760watt amp good? I am going to install it tomorrow lol. I know it's not much but still as long as it's nice bass.

[jonmanch3st3r]

that should be a pretty good setup man,wut kind of car are you putting it in?

[DracluFlang78]

I just barely installed it in my Dodge extra cab 4x4. It hits but the damn box isn't good.

[jonmanch3st3r]

o ya that should hit pretty dam good when u get a good box for it,are you going to put up any vids of it?

[DracluFlang78]

Yeah I will. But I need a video camera also lol. I'll add you as my friend so when I do get the camera you'll be able to find it easy.

[jonmanch3st3r]

kool man,and thanx for checkin out some of my vids

[DracluFlang78]

No problem

[AirsoftGhillie]

thats like $8,000 worth the amps...

[bwc1ngame]

would it be better to use 1 big amp or 2 smaller ones to power 2 12" lpine x's? i only have one of the subs atm im buyin another one with my next paycheck...but i really apreciate the help :}

[jonmanch3st3r]

you should be set with 1 amp on those subs,what kind of amps are you looking into?

[bwc1ngame]

im actually going to do just one sub now with a pdx-1.1000 save money and it still pounds

[sdhs23]

[LMProductions09]

[jcb454]

[JLPIMPIN1992]

[m2r5h2l]

hey i got a question. right now im runnin 2 12" orions and im going to add one more twelve for now. how many watts should i use to run all three?

[loud95chevy]

very nice. only had the vid up for not even a month and already got 246k views. sick system, sick truck. love it all man!!

[psychowraith]

I am digging the Deftones in the back ground!!!!!!!!!!!!

[justintuttle]

u know how he says he cant breathe steve should have oxygen masks drop out from above that would be sick

[LMProductions09]

Why he says it taked the air from you he doesn't mean oxygen LMAO!

[ali900]

how much would it cost to get a system like this going?

[jerbear10000]

lots but worth it

[blackbamabound]

nice setup with the fans...

[fairiegoddess]

where do you keep the gains set and the crossover points on the amps or you lettin the 360.2 take care of of that

[thugz4life1000]

[sounduser]

[gera123avl]

@LMProductions09 Street carp - Deftones

[sn95chico]

i see you are running your power and ground

right by your RCAs do you ever have any problems with engine noise

our do you use suppressors

ground loop isolators

[meade916]

nope. No problems. Also, im not running them side by side or any of that but sooner or later they have to get near eachother because i have to eventually plug them into the amp LOL :D

[MandJ21]

Has anyone ever heard how 12'' Lanzar Model SE12 Sound ???????

[CrookedBros]

Man you got Pain No More by Game and Snoop Dogg that song has crazy bass

[MRGoodenough76]

what kind of snips are those? i use a hacksaw to cut mine

[blackbamabound]

electrician cable cutters from Lowe's/Home Depot...come in handy for cutting 6+ AWG wire...

[tobroke2007]

how much duz 1 of the amps cost you

[Kevin1264]

7:54's nice, but what's that unholy ringing noise?

[schaamhaarpoedel90]

eeyy man you just do a good job man.Keep up!!! i got a questin for my system (in my room)

you got that 6 amp right. and each amp has 1 or 2 RCA cable. do you use a slitter from 6 to 1 RCA cable or al the RCA cable from each amp goes to your radio/head unit???

[stylering123654]

the airsystem will work a have test it out in "Autodesk"

[meade916]

you tried it on autodesk?

[francesco149]

2:04 metallica in the background =D

[sn95chico]

must be nice to get employee purchase on those rockford fosgate amps

o wait i do to loll lol lol olllloolololo

[Ba55B01]

And the sad part is, no one's gonna see the meters on the amps move since they're under the sub box

[couar351]

all you need now is a bed

[eriksen243]

DAMN that's some FAT speakercables you got there=d

[gdm576]

damn, soo much stuff  you gonna live in that suv

[southsudanvoice]

that's hard brol.

[jesseadkins187]

i love how many views this one got so fast... Huh Steve..

[scottjeep97]

God Dam Steve. That's a shit load of wires man i wish i can get some of those in my truck.

[sonycanadian]

hey dude how much do one of them amp make

[xTAKEEx]

are u running cpu fans for the amps? sick setup as well thanx for showing us the inside of your system cant wait to see the final stage....peace

[blopeezy]

does anybody know what that

[kyle001993]

noobs!!!!

[INTELGV]

Friend've seen all your video! parabens pelo carro! 'm from Brazil and I want to purchase this speaker! I kkkkkk se fa! could send me a web site? that sells this speaker please

[pedro2009surf]

isso que é uma instalação bem feita,

[MuziqSoul114]

ill system Steve!

[bwc1ngame]

hey guys, could i power a 18in 5000 rms kicker with 2 2500 rms mono/class D amplifiers?, what is the dif frommono and the 2 ohm?

[marcusbriscoe86]

i agree with you on that....the amps would not only be pushing power into the sub ...but the amp would be pushing power into each other as well.....yeah i thank thats a bad idea...

[meade916]

WRONG lol where do you people come up with this shit hahahha

[meade916]

just to clear it up with you, there is 2 voice coils on each of my subs....the amps are NOT connected to eachother in any way. There is one amp on each voice coil. This is big boy stuff bro, keep watchin my vids i will show you a few things ;)

[meade916]

well, you are a rookie and know nothing about hooking multiple amps to single subs. I dont expect you to be able to take on something like this.

[red666A]

Good stuff! What's that tool he's using to cut the 1/0 gauge? It look so small, and i cut my with hack saw..

[ResidentG33k]

Arent you worried about the last exhaust fans blowing on the amps that sit behind the seat? Its all gonna be hot air back that and the intakes will be sucking in the hot air.

[meade916]

nope not worried at all. Its not hot air, its MOVING air.

[rgrafton]

haha yea.. of course it's not gonna be hot. They are fans, fans blow the air not heat the air. The main purpose of fans is to cool. Common Sense.
