[Racer472]

hey man i have a question, the system in my car has 4 2ohm 6" speakers in all 4 doors, and im looking to get an aftermarket headunit but im not sure which one to get. i have maybe a $200 budget for the radio, any suggestions?

[BradK24]

Man ive seen videos of these monsters and it makes me proud!

[outlanderrider]

I just watched every video in this playlist from start to finish and I gotta say I'm impressed. From the impeccable wiring to every device you've got running in the Tahoe, this build is for sure a work of art. A+

[meade916]

@outlanderrider thank you man, it means a lot. :)

[RandomDude9815]

I wachted the whole rebuild now and all those video are awesome....

and this system is just crazy...keep doing tha good work.

[Milen4oBG]

all is good the setup is very crazy and nice but the music is terrible

[meade916]

@Milen4oBG you cant really say that with a Lilana video in your favorites. That shit is fucking TERRIBLE. lol. 10 seconds of that and i would shove an ice pick into my eardrum.

[Herpencounter]

Damn just finished watching all 65 videos! Answered a lottttttt of questions I had! You know your shit that's for sure.

[meade916]

@Herpencounter thanks man!! i appreciate that!!

[MannaPerformance]

Hello, I am Italian so I apologize in advance for my writing.

First of all I get many compliments for the you work done, because it is really fantastic.

Then could you tell me if I wanted to know the title of the song that starts at 4:40?.

thanks in advance and go on like this!. Hello!

[DJTightSHYTZ]

Just watch the while build going to watch more

[Timmyv612]

i just spended 6 hours close to watching the whole build but its really nice way to go!!

[MrRubenEsp]

NOT TO BE A DOWNER..just honest opinion,being that said i wouldn't mind having one of these monsters!

[MrRubenEsp]

this dude has to suffer to some kind of hearing loss...i was in the back seat of a friends car when the old kicker solo baric 15's were out and he was blasting it in my ears and like a dummy i thought i was a tuff guy and didn't cover up my ears and till this day i think i lost some hearing in one of my ears,so i know this dude has to have some kind of hearing loss bumping that shit everyday like that...why i dont understand these right behind the seat installs some of these guys are doing dumb

[meade916]

@MrRubenEsp you didnt lose hearing from that little system. Sorry. Maybe its hereditary.

[HitemWithTheFlex]

@MrRubenEsp haha, i love how this is on every bass vid he has. He has stated many times, his hearing is fine, just cause you have virgin bass ears doesnt mean you "lost" hearing.

[MrRubenEsp]

@HitemWithTheFlex i think he was right about it might be hereditary hearing loss but common sense will tell you dude after A while that loud of a system is going to take its toll on youre hearing later on in life! ur ears arent made to take that kind of abuse day in and day out I did have to get tubes in my ears when I was little and so did my son so he was right,but you have to think just how sensitive the ear drum really is remember the ear test you used to take in school? might be a good idea

[HitemWithTheFlex]

@MrRubenEsp only reason is that i pound on my ears day in and day out and can still hear the most minute sounds possible. Loud at a low frequency isnt the same as loud like an explosion or something like a jet engine. Thats a whole different deal.

[MrRubenEsp]

@HitemWithTheFlex why isn't it the samething? that's hilarious...it still vibrates the hell out of you're ear drum my friend...and over time it will cause damage...any doctor with common sense can tell you that!

[HitemWithTheFlex]

@MrRubenEsp there are more factors to sound than just being loud. of course overtime it will cause damage but people talk like if you listen to a 150db system once you go deaf. people are ignorant.

[MrRubenEsp]

@MrRubenEsp remember the DB's he is doing is louder then a jet engine and most of those guys on air craft carriers wear some type of ear muff protection for their ears...U.S. Air Force and industry partners, is working to improve hearing protection and speech intelligibility for aircraft carrier flight deck crews who work up to 16 hr per day in 130-150 dBA tactical jet aircraft noise. Do some research dude it's common sense!

[HitemWithTheFlex]

@MrRubenEsp "16 hour per day" key words here, short exposures dont hurt your ears as much. Prolonged exposure is what causes hearing loss. Hours straight of this system would fuck your ears, but 5 minutes at a time isnt the same thing as a 16 hour day. im done arguing with you, you obviously need to do some research yourself.

[MrRubenEsp]

@HitemWithTheFlex ummmm in all of my post I said over time haha...that would be longer periods of exposure....ummm yeah. and their are more factors involved here like people that have tubes in their ears..I can't fly in plains because the pressure feels like a knife is sticking in my ears...so their are a number of determining factors...not everyone is the same...so someone that might have had tubes or some other problem with their ears might be more sensitive to loud bass..comprende?

[HitemWithTheFlex]

@MrRubenEsp OMFG YOUR SO DUMB.

[MrRubenEsp]

@HitemWithTheFlex ok whatever dude stop talking to me..I could careless what you think keep doing what ur doing..smart guy..play ur music at 140.DB make sure the speaker is right behind ur earlobes...haha!

[bigboyjc07]

[calvinchoe100]

[gilford438]

[JustinMX51]

Is it true you need to "break-in" woofers? Does it effect the performance or durability at all..?

[worgoten2]

[DIYourselfer]

[wildcattennis15]

Steve! Im such a huge fan man! I loooove all the clean builds and all the clean rides. Congrats on the new woofers, I bet they hit like Skimbo on crack lol. I have a question for you, arrrre you a fan of soundstream? I was thinking about putting 2 soundstream PDX-10s in my 1995 Ford F-150 Single cab and just wanted an expert opinion. What do you think?

[MrYutbe57]

[TheDumbluck2002]

hey i am thinking running two of them on audioque aq3500.1 strapped in my durango

[monkeybob69696969]

haha i love how people are saying the btl's are better. look at the magnets on the smd's compared to the btl's

[45123]

@monkeybob69696969 x2 btls are still beast though, but the SMDs are beyond beast, colossus will the new nickname after beast.

[Ahkomaton]

What kind of gauges do you have? where did u get them?

[red666A]

Woofer worth more than an arms and legs... Dope..

[xMBxDougyfresh]

hey meade916 is there a web sight where i can go to, to buy your woofers and equipment

[christopher12344321]

I am thinking of getting 2 aa/smd 18's and powering them off of a jbl 6000gti. Does anyone have any thoughts? Also: How do I order those subs??

[christopher12344321]

@christopher12344321

Also: Steve, what do you think of the aa/smd vs the fi btl? In terms of sq, spl, build quality, and longevity?

[t1m3kia]

[gpuentesaenz]

wats the song on 4:38

[GTMoNeY363]

yo did they sound better then the btl's

[djbluestein]

lookin at this i cant believe the btls were monsters ... now there subs... these are monsterss haa

[BMXingZAC]

what kinda deck ya got?

[NiMAyanami]

"whoooooo god damn"

[WoGSchwarzeneggerr]

they may bw tall but they are beautiful!

[rickmartinez78744]

yo steve man im 14 and man your my ideal ! man i have like i think 4000 watts i think ? but man im in austin and i wish for you to come down here man and do some demos down here please man !!! ill pray for you over here ha besafe man !!!

[EnglishClick800]

Steve how were u able to run so much power to the btl's without blowing them? because thats really crazy.

[ErikH225]

@EnglishClick800 Fi makes solid ass speakers. I've got 2 Fi Q 12s with BP Power, and the pair has taken 6k with no problems.

[walkingfreak]

This may be a silly question meade but why did it look like your lights are dimming i know for a fact man that there is very tiny voltage drop

[reppin49dank]

for a non walled set up. this is crazy the amount of power you are able to get. those Fi's are beast, i heard its really hard to run a subwoofer past its ratted rms, without blowing the sub. requires a great set up

also i found it odd. on the AA audio website, it says the SMD require less CF for ported enclosures than the Mayhem does, yet the SMD looks way larger.

[entstephen]

u lose any airspace with the different size baskets

[slowandobvious]

dude your a funking retard. i love that shit. keep up the good work.

[CJFRANKLIN81]

DUDE YOU MAKKE THOSE

[KingOfTheClutch]

What ya doin with the old ones?

[joshstever]

GOD look at those magnets!!!!!

[SBDTHRU]

Mad respect. You have 12x as much power to EACH woofer as I do to my one 12". My shit bangs, but I guess I haven't heard the definition of loud bass. I'm gonna have to make my way out to cali to hear it sometime.

[bradbesoballa]

giveaway!



[pspxbox360ps3]

why dont you just buy 18'' kickers

[meade916]

[stevenmccful]

[eviltoast765]

@meade916 No, Steve, you run real woofers, MTX, kickers, they aren't as great..

[TuchMyGucci]

[SteveFrench306]

@meade916 hey when are the SMD woofers available but you have no idea how many people bought fi cause of you

[herosquad]

@pspxbox360ps3 and kickers doubtfully will not do what his own subs would and kickers just lol 

[QuestioningAnswers]

@pspxbox360ps3 because kicker sucks dick.

[walkingfreak]

@QuestioningAnswers Exactly 

[walkingfreak]

@pspxbox360ps3 because kicker is gay and would be destroyed by this amount of power

[rickmartinez78744]

[MrAtomicAudio]

@pspxbox360ps3

Lmao are you retarded???  fuck i am scraping my 15inch orions for 2 of Steve's 18's lol Kicker=waste of time

[2x100miljoenmiljard]

@pspxbox360ps3 powned XD, Kicker sucks

[45123]

@pspxbox360ps3 you have GOT TO BE KIDDING. kickers against AA???? stop smoking that crack. AA>kicker ALL DAY, EVERY DAY

[oXxWowMasterxXo]

@pspxbox360ps3 kickers suck.

[carguyzo6]

@pspxbox360ps3 because kicker isn't very good, and there 18 inch model the solo X is pretty much only for SPL Steve gets good numbers and Great quality.

[Wag3x]

@pspxbox360ps3 and because one of his amps would eat and 18 kicker

[smokndrew]

@pspxbox360ps3 and kickers suck monkey balls lol

[MrAcuralvr]
