guys, this is just a basic, quick little amp rack. The fans you choose, the location and other things will determine what it is going to take to get the job done. Higher CFM, higher static pressure of course is GOOD! But any air is better than none. :)
+meade916 do you have 2 fans as a intake or all 4 pushing out?
yes
Hey steve my fans are 2.75 amps so I guess I can only use one right i dont want to mess up my temp sensor
Mead can you make me one ? And if so how much ? I’ll send half so I can get started and the rest when your done let me know thx 🙏🏽
Wow, reading some of these comments?!?!? Like wtf, this nice guy took the time to show a cool way to cool your amps, there are a million ways to do it and I applaud this one as it is efficient and looks cool, and as he said, made the shell out of scraps. Thanks bro, I may design something similar!
i cant find a single negative comment
They better not be...🤨
Some people just don't appreciate nothing i love his work hopefully get to see him at slam one day
Simple. Effective. Awesome as always. Keep up the good work. I have learned a lot from your channel over the years.
when DYI money is no object cuz your saving hundreds if not thousands on someone building it for you. Meade is giving you so much info for free. this info is priceless. i got a quote for $4000 for an install without buying any equipment lol. i can build my own just will be slower but it will be done right and ill save $3000. thank you Meade for posting these videos your the man keep them coming your giving me great ideas. $100 or so dollars for that temp control is well worth it to me
Great video. Def made me wanna step my game up with a nicer amp rack and cooling fans. Love your videos where you teach something even beginners can do an benefit from.
É um ESPETÁCULO...
Nunca vi tanto carinho com seu cliente e sua prpria marca.
Nice simple lil amp rack I'm going do one like that for my skar system
Dude thanks so much for this video. My RF P600.4 was shutting down on long trips so I decided to build a similar amp cooling rack like yours and I think it came out pretty well. I'm about to install it in my car. I used 4 Corsair ML120 120mm PWM Premium Magnetic Levitation Fans and your TM-1 Sensor. My amps are Rockford Fosgate P600.4 and P1000X1BD Punch.
Great video Steve. Simple yet extremely effective. May have to grab one once I get a chance to do my rebuild
New subscriber..... been watching your stuff for a couple weeks. Also new to car audio but jumping in head first cuz I just installed 2 systems in my truck and my girlfriends car. I go to your videos for information all the time. You make everything look so easy! Anyways thank you for putting so much great content out there and explaining stuff so well. Not to mention your camera man does a great job of catching everything for us to see. Thanks again from Bakersfield, California 👍🏼
never thought this would be such an easy install ......never hurts to have the custom cooling .....gr8 vid bro
Box made out of scraps looks better than anything ive ever build lol......thanks for this though, these informative vids like this are helpful to everyone even guys that have been around for a while but not as skilled lol...good stuff Steve.
This vid gave me some motivation to change up my own amp rack and add a cover to attach the fans to so it would cool more efficiently. Good stuff man thanks for that
This is awesome! I need to get at least 1 of these! Thanks for the awesome products, info & tutorials!
Very cool video. I actually did something similar with my home audio amplifier/receiver and it did miracles for that amp.
Great vid. Thanks. Just a suggestion but probably overkill, im gonna add a ½" gap between the amps and base of rack to channel air underneath and prevent insulated hotspots.
I do just put it in two days ago and let me tell you this little thing packs a big punch.. I running a 15 inch American bass xfl and man it sounds Loud!..
As always, nice work man. I'll definitely be ordering a TM-1
That's awesome gave me a couple great ideas I had to laugh when you said this Milwaukee heat. Today is August 6th in South central Texas. I've been working on mine all weekend outside you don't need a heat gun here not even for shrink wrap to shrink. Send rain our way and cooler temps!
You the man Steve. Always stepping up the game.
True player right here bruh this is dope af... the best part other than the build is this guy didnt even ask me to subscribe .... i sub'd .
I have a audiobaughn a2300 hct that has built in fans but I'm gonna use your idea to help keep her cool. Thanks for the informative video
Even if it is a test piece that amp rack is good looking man and that thermostat is a great little device to keep the amps from getting damage, I've seen a few amps get messed up because they got really hot so thumb's up for this steve
Hey Mr. Meade just wanted you to know that your videos are the best! Keep it up no matter what!
thanks Shawn! :)
I think these videos of your products are crazy cool and informative. (no pun intended)
I really want to meet the engineer who made this and the DD-1.
Man I was just scrolling back through your videos trying to find the one where you mentioned a tool that was best for cutting out holes for woofers in boxes. I was thinking it may have been 2 years ago but I couldn't find it but what really blew me away is that I have been subscribed for about 5 years. Damn. Its weird because I don't even have any woofers in my car and I'm not all that into it. I guess I just enjoy the videos and the scene.
Great video! Still watching some of your classic videos in 2018 🤑
I have 15 Corsair fans in my computer that cool the radiators for my water cooling all powered by a SMD TM-1. Thing is awesome!
Nice how to Mr.Meade, salutes from Puerto Rico , keep the excelent job my friend. i love your videos .
Love your products they are really nice and simple to use!! Awesome video
Nice man I had my amp under my seat and it got so hot one time the fuses started melting but I got a new amp and I mounted it in my trunk. I got to make one of these
Now That's what am looking forward to building with my son when he gets old enough for now its money saving time because we broke. So for now me and my son will watch you guys inspire us thanks to you guys my dreams stay alive.
Simple and effective, I like it Mr. Meade. Great vids.
thanks for posting this. I'll be building one as soon as my amps come in for my Audi a4
Man class was in session today thanks Steve gonna do this in my escalade.
another great video Steve thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video! I'll definitely have to buy one of those.
I wonder about putting one of these on the case fans in my PC? I'm an idiot and didn't read other comments first. I even watched you put them in your pc in your pc build videos.
Good shit as usual Steve.
one of the dopest products I've seen
Super helpful video. Looks like I got a project for next weekend haha
Here in 2019.
Getting inspiration!
That’s super cool man! I’d love something like that for my system. I live in Mississippi so summer heat is a bitch so I’d need that in the afternoon
Im gonna start mine today I was bumping some Bass Outlaws and my amp was getting to hot and shutting off this happened to two different amps and im not pushing alot of watts with budget amps. There mounted on the back of the rear seat in my 95 yukon and 100 degree weather right now.
Great video, thks for taking the time to make it ....
that tm-1 is a awesome little device. nice amp rack btw
thanks man. Just a quick lil' somethin i whipped up :) I was just going to make a video demoing the fans but i decided to use the rack somewhere now :D
Kind of sells the whole idea of using amp racks in addition to the device itself. Nice.
Ur creations r awesome!!!
Damn man, I really like this. I don't have an outrageous system in my car, but my 2 amps do get hot and I think if I re-positioned my box I could fit this in the trunk. Those fans didn't seem to make any noise in the video. Plus I couldn't hear them over the music anyways haha. Looks like I found my next project!
Steve...u did a great work on it...never seen it before, but it a dope. And great looking install, all clean. 💯
BTW..I'm also interest "DGAF" project, I know u got a job to do on the caddy. Keep update some more work u did. I'm your big fan, Steve
Another awesome product
meade916 you do nice work thxs for posting videos. I am old school and see all this new technology wow. I just had stereo installed in my 94 blazer silverado with couple of rockford fosgate primes with 12" ps3 alpine din head unit man your install in clean stuff. I just wanted to comment that father and son shit is awsome glad to see that shit. Keep up the cool videos.
Thanks for the tutorial. 👍🏾
Man you are sick with the installs Bruh better than most of the beat shops I seen
thanks Marquez!
Anytime bro keep it up and let them haters hate that means you are doing something right
meade916 awesome video bro and gave me a ton of ideas about my Avalanche.
Steve, I have been watching what you do for some time. I love what you do and I myself would love to do what you do. Im in my first year of college just doing the basic stuff next year I will decide what I will learn. I was wondering if you could help me with that I mean what to learn (I love speakers and everything connected to speakers and as is I am a producer)
I build customer watercooled desktop Pc's... So the push/pull configuration im familiar with.. The fans you got seemed to only be small 88mm fans.. Have you thought about upgrading the fans to corsair 120mm high flow fans? Or the 140mm high flows? I made a box similar to yours only i couldn't find plexi glass and when I tried using my acrylic it would crack something terrible. But I'm running 4 140mm corsair fans in that same push/pull configuration. But my amps are rated class A/B... Your amps are class D which I know they get warm but would someone with class D amps really need a box lke this? I have two boss amps (one thats been pushing the heck out of a 10" Premier audio sub) only during super hot/humid days here in Jax,FL and me having it turned up would throw it in protective mode. I'm sure I could of eliminated this by simply moving the amp higher. Seeing this makes me wonder if theres a way to build a waterblocks (its what us computer nerds use to cool our processor, motherboard chip sets, and graphics cards.) If a water block could be fabricated to cool down the pieces of the amp that get hot it was be interesting to see a subwoofer system that's liquid cooled. Anyways thanks for the video.. I definately would love to have that tempature module you showed us. The ability to set the temp by adjusting a screw in the back. I need that in my life! Lol
Was good breh! Love your videos! :D keep em coming!
thanks! i will!
Nice little amp rack!
This is sweet nice job steve
Damn Meade... you even take your time to make the small stuff look good...
Great video brother. Thanks.
Awesome. I want to build one now
Bout to order me one of those dd-1s tonight Steve :)!
Thats such a cool product! I will definitely be using one for my amp rack. The initial price is intimidating, but I know a device like this could run a lot more then you have them set at. You're changing the audio game one product at a time!
Looks like I have a new project lined up, thanks Steve uve help me make my scrap pile smaller lol xp
Hey steve i got your 12v meter a few months back works like a champ ! im looking to get this temp one to when you thinking its going to be back in stock ? Need to step up production lol
great design great video
Thats a sick set up!
Whats the mono block gonna be pushing?
Does the TM-1 require a constant 12V power supply for memory, or is a switched 12V all that’s needed?
Good Day Mr Meade, the white spray used directly on the raw mdf, does it contain primer as well? Thanks in advanced.
I learn a lot from the videos uploaded by you, keep up the good work :)
that's awesome. about to order!
Kick ass! quick easy upgrade to extend the life of your equipment!
I like this follow-a-long. I'm going to try and build as soon as possible. One question. What would be an appropriate actual temp to set the sensor? Alabama summers can get in the low hundreds.
Nice. Job Steve
Hey Steve I,m from Western Australia just wondering if you could use the temp guage for the water temperature for your car
u the man steve
Hey Steve,
How does it feel to be one of the best at what you do?
This is a good video very helpful
How do you have the fans wired. What are they tied into/how are you powering them in the car?...GREAT VIDEO
Have you ever thought to try cpu heatsinks for a pc? The night and day temp changes on a cpu with even just a heatsink without thermal paste is staggering. Id love to see how cool a stressed amp stays with a few of them stuck to it especially a Noctua NH D15
Whats up everyone. Will the SMD-TM1F be available anymore? I see its sold out everywhere. Is there an alternative i can use as for a temp monitor/controller for future builds with fans? Thanks a lot. Amazing channel. Learn something new every time i visit!!
loved the tattoo
Cool stuff!
What’s a good temp to keep it under for cooling the amps. Like keep it under 115 or lower ? Just curious what normal temps are and good temps are so I can regulate accordingly. Nice info. I love the set up. Thanks for the nice info.
Hey bro I know this video was posted a few years back. I looked up those z fan and they are not available. Any other fans I can use? Again awesome on you session . God bless 💪😎
Would you recommend mounting a amp rack like this on the sub box?
Wonderful !
Actually pretty damn good product.
Hey Steve quick question, how did you wire up the four fans may I ask and the prefer fuse amperage if needed..
BTW I'm a huge fan and support from Indiana
P.s. sorry if this comment doubles
Nice setup, where can I get the parts so I can build me one of those
Pretty nice Mr.Mead!
thanks Jose!
Good video!!
That’s so badass
thank you for this :)
gonna add some beat to Antheny's Tahoe.. ?neat lil device Steve , i predict u will have many happy customers.
Thanks man!
I need to do this with my Rockford Fosgate amps. Btw, where are you guys located at? I live in sac.
Actually useful asf for a pc.. Can i get one with an ac wall adapter so i can use it for a pc by hooking a bunch of fans to it?
Great product & what is the name of the opening track
Slick setup
