years of practice bro.....just have never been able to shake my love for car audio. I will probably have beat until my last days LOL! thanks for the comment bro.
This is one of the most detailed builds I've seen in a while. Excellent work pure professional-ism. When I'm ready, I will bring my M5 from NYC to you for my install. Believe
You do some of the cleanest installs I've ever seen. You deserve mad props for skills and creativity. By far the number one installer in the game right now no one can touch you!
@meade916, Steve, I love the way you do exactly what you feel needs to be done. You are no nonsense, no pretentiousness, no excuses, no corner cutting, and no pear pressure. Pretty rare these days. You make a killer sub box, amp rack, kicks, front door panels, triple battery etc etc and you liked the stock rear door panels so you simply installed better speakers and left them alone. No sense doing something just because you can or just because you want to show off. Much respect Steve.
i been buried in my shop for 9 weeks so i missed a lot of calls....when i am fiberglassing in 100 degree tempratures, all i can think about is getting it done. I don't remember seeing any missed calls from you though bro.
i didn't get rid of it, i have covers over them for daily driving. Sorry to disappoint you LOL. Its amazing to me how many people ask where the plexi is when its CLEARLY still there.
Man, i had some doubts about you messing with the lexus at the start and when you were doing the trunk, but damn steve that's probably the cleanest install i've ever seen. Looks great, and i love how the trunk's still reasonably usable. Keep up the good work man.
tucked it away under the right side NOS tank. I don't have anywhere to put it and it was an afterthought. The PBR 300x4 is extremely small so it was a great candidate to tuck away :D
I have been watching your videos for a while I knew it would sound awesome but I had no idea how well hidden you would make it look, truly impressive Steve!
Bad ass ride you have there sir. You have inspired a bunch of us to start doing all of our builds with quality work. I built some trash in my day but now I am doing better quality and taking my time. Wish I could afford some of the stuff you have.
I already did "engine and performance" so i guess you can say id "rather" do both. I did the intake, exhaust, coilovers control arms and 100shot of NOS. Ive done almost everything you can do.
I can not even begin to express how jealous of you and your job that I am. I love anything that has to do with car audio installs (I buy stuff that I don't need just so I can install it) and all of your stuff is over the top awsome. Some people go the extra mile, you go the extra few miles - uphill. I also love the fact that you care about overall sound quality and balance in what you do, not just huge bass and decibels values, like amateurs. Awesome job! Keep doin' what you're doin'!
Simply amazing. Just had the father son time with his first car and system Rockford Fosgate of course. Doors next, on his dime!!! Also the first 48 as well!!! Love your videos.
You pulled it off Steve, very, very nice build, classy, stealthy and a lot more going for it. Great work! and thanks for being there for all of us audio addicts :)
LMAO, just read the last 10 or 15 comments. You need a secretary just to answer questions. Install on your whip is by far tha cleanest I've seen you do. 2 thumbs up bro!
I have to admit. This build was much faster than the Tahoe rebuild. Either way you out did yourself once again Steve. Can't wait to see the tune and db test.
i have tried to make boxes and do fiberglass work but nothing i did was even close to 1 1000th this nice you are truely among the kings of the trade i commend you for all you do and you teach us tricks constantly with or without relizing it thank you steve
thank you sir i really appreciate that! I haven't opened up "shop" yet, this is all just my personal shit......but you never know! Im gettin kinda old though, i think i need a crew to do the work for me if i ever really did go into big install business.
Damn Steve you must feel hella proud about this one man. I love every bit of the work you've done to the Lexus. Keep of the fantastic work man looking forward to your future projects.
Damn Steve, I have recently started to watch your install vids. I never knew you were hands on 100% on your installs, your work not only sounds good...but damn your work is clean! Keep up the good work and info flowin. Looking forward to your next project. Thank you
you must feel good knowing that there's no other Lexus isf in the world that's as unique as this and also knowing there will never be another as unique as this
I gotta say, i cant see anybody doing as clean of a build and as dope as you made it and in that much time! Also that Lexus is my fav! Hopefully i'll see that thing driving around somewhere in cali =]
Just doesn't sound awesome, it looks beyond clean. This litterally has to be the cleanest/nicest sounding/fastest/best looking car on the road! I never expected the car to reach the level of beauty that it has. Superb job!!
This install just put you over the top great job. Maybe Rockford Fosgate will sponsor you to come to New Jersey at a car show so I can hear the car congrats.
sweeet!! The stock ISF is a hell of a car but Steve..your's is just pure perfection! The NOS, KW V3 coilovers, SMD Sound System..everything fits together very nicely. Even though I'm German, I'd prefer this one over an BMW M3! Nice work!
You are definitely built for this! Great work all the way around. I have 2010 350 and would love just half the stuff you have installed. I was just going to add a sub but now I have a lot to think about. Props!
they just came out bro, sorry! Mine is a prototype from RF so you know i don't have any extra's laying around. And yes sirrrr you can use the 3sixty.3 over bluetooth on the .3
its all good, seriously, normally that is a good way to do it. If i put some MB Quarts in someones ride behind the stock grills, i would always grab the MB logo and put it on there just to let em know they are not stock anymore :D
envying all from the car to the work done throughout it! best part is its pure clarity rather than BOOOOOOOOOOM lol, when im 40 im def gona have something just like this!!
Np man! I have got to get up to sac- town and get a demo! I dont know to much about car audio but I learn more everyday from watching your vids! Its like my school haha!!
Your a beast at car stereo man.. I want to wall off the back of my Subaru wagon with some 15 or 18s i just don't know where to start Haha. Anyways props on the builds and keep the videos coming its something we don't get bored of.
meade ur installs are beyond what a lot of people would expect. really good install you did lovin the led's looks good! keep it up man Quick question is that is F yours?
well for my system which is a t3 tsns 15 on a sundown saz 3500d including door speakers came out to around 2.7 k(not including wiring) but I didn't go all out like you did
This shit is just another "Self Meade" masterpiece, Deserves a spot in some kind of magazine or some shit not for the Plebiscite but for the work/art you did on this LeX ...#Respect
Very nice job, Steve. There is only one thing that bothers me, the kickpanel subs, i cant imagine i would ever sacrifice the comfort of my legs for a sub, but hey, its your build and i have to admit you have done an incredible job and i can only wish ill ever have the patience to create something so beautiful.
years of practice bro.....just have never been able to shake my love for car audio. I will probably have beat until my last days LOL! thanks for the comment bro.
rear channels on the 6.5's front channels on the tweets. I am all active, no passive x-overs.
thanks for checking in and watching all the progress vids bro!! i appreciate that and the positive comment too. THANKS!
lots of my friends who are known for quality installs talk highly of them so i would probably say yes, even though i have no experience with them.
This is one of the most detailed builds I've seen in a while. Excellent work pure professional-ism. When I'm ready, I will bring my M5 from NYC to you for my install. Believe
You do some of the cleanest installs I've ever seen. You deserve mad props for skills and creativity. By far the number one installer in the game right now no one can touch you!

they are behind the factory 3" hole - there is a shot of them in the video.
Meade, all I have to say is you've gotten me into car audio much more than I thought I could have.
i been buried in my shop for 9 weeks so i missed a lot of calls....when i am fiberglassing in 100 degree tempratures, all i can think about is getting it done. I don't remember seeing any missed calls from you though bro.
not sure. Lost track. LOL! I have a list of equipment in the description though.
i didn't get rid of it, i have covers over them for daily driving. Sorry to disappoint you LOL. Its amazing to me how many people ask where the plexi is when its CLEARLY still there.
thanks for the comment Warren, i appreciate that bro.
Man, i had some doubts about you messing with the lexus at the start and when you were doing the trunk, but damn steve that's probably the cleanest install i've ever seen. Looks great, and i love how the trunk's still reasonably usable.
Keep up the good work man.
got them from RTTI back in 2008.....been looking for an excuse to use them ever since! Finally found the perfect place!
tucked it away under the right side NOS tank. I don't have anywhere to put it and it was an afterthought. The PBR 300x4 is extremely small so it was a great candidate to tuck away :D
not sure. I don't see why not but its something i don't worry about since my bass (in the lex) wont touch the tanks at all. It all goes forward.
i don't drive in Automatic mode though......my exhaust has been modded and is kinda loud...... its Manual mode (paddle shifters) 24/7 now.
I have been watching your videos for a while I knew it would sound awesome but I had no idea how well hidden you would make it look, truly impressive Steve!
I LOVE THEM so far!!!
I'm jealous man, not with all the top quality equipment, but with you're dadicated craftsmanship...... There are no words......
its 180a stock so its doing OK. I plan on upgrading soon. My car is kinda complicated so i am not looking forward to it.
Bad ass ride you have there sir. You have inspired a bunch of us to start doing all of our builds with quality work. I built some trash in my day but now I am doing better quality and taking my time. Wish I could afford some of the stuff you have.
I already did "engine and performance" so i guess you can say id "rather" do both. I did the intake, exhaust, coilovers control arms and 100shot of NOS. Ive done almost everything you can do.
I can't say there's lack of anything... this is the perfect set up. Perfectly done Steve, Greetings from Venezuela.
I can not even begin to express how jealous of you and your job that I am. I love anything that has to do with car audio installs (I buy stuff that I don't need just so I can install it) and all of your stuff is over the top awsome. Some people go the extra mile, you go the extra few miles - uphill. I also love the fact that you care about overall sound quality and balance in what you do, not just huge bass and decibels values, like amateurs. Awesome job! Keep doin' what you're doin'!
Man, this is like watching the season finale of a badass show. Amazing job Steve!
Simply amazing. Just had the father son time with his first car and system Rockford Fosgate of course. Doors next, on his dime!!! Also the first 48 as well!!! Love your videos.
You pulled it off Steve, very, very nice build, classy, stealthy and a lot more going for it. Great work! and thanks for being there for all of us audio addicts :)
you do some of the cleanest installs in any car! amazing man!
I am so jealous of all the stuff you have done to your vehicles, and your general knowledge on stereo stuff is ridiculous. Nice job!
sounds good to me. Installing it right is more important then the brand. Good luck!
LMAO, just read the last 10 or 15 comments. You need a secretary just to answer questions. Install on your whip is by far tha cleanest I've seen you do. 2 thumbs up bro!
I have to admit. This build was much faster than the Tahoe rebuild. Either way you out did yourself once again Steve. Can't wait to see the tune and db test.
I don't think i have ever missed any new upload.....nicely done Mr. Meade!
i have tried to make boxes and do fiberglass work but nothing i did was even close to 1 1000th this nice you are truely among the kings of the trade i commend you for all you do and you teach us tricks constantly with or without relizing it thank you steve
you mean the back space where i kept part of the trunk? I am gonna use that for...a trunk, not more woofers bro. Thanks man! :)
thank you sir i really appreciate that! I haven't opened up "shop" yet, this is all just my personal shit......but you never know! Im gettin kinda old though, i think i need a crew to do the work for me if i ever really did go into big install business.
Damn Steve you must feel hella proud about this one man. I love every bit of the work you've done to the Lexus. Keep of the fantastic work man looking forward to your future projects.
Congrats on the almost finished install...car and audio lookin and sounding great..keep going for that 100% perfection...
Damn Steve, I have recently started to watch your install vids. I never knew you were hands on 100% on your installs, your work not only sounds good...but damn your work is clean! Keep up the good work and info flowin. Looking forward to your next project.
Thank you
you must feel good knowing that there's no other Lexus isf in the world that's as unique as this and also knowing there will never be another as unique as this
5 stars on this outstanding build..., once again SMD hits it out of the park !!!
I gotta say, i cant see anybody doing as clean of a build and as dope as you made it and in that much time! Also that Lexus is my fav! Hopefully i'll see that thing driving around somewhere in cali =]

Just doesn't sound awesome, it looks beyond clean. This litterally has to be the cleanest/nicest sounding/fastest/best looking car on the road! I never expected the car to reach the level of beauty that it has. Superb job!!

Meades loves the first 48! he always has it on during builds!
5:03 killer midbass. came back to this video after 4 or 5 years just to see the "pretty much done but never really done" install
hell i don't remember bro.....i did those like 3 years ago
sweeet!! The stock ISF is a hell of a car but Steve..your's is just pure perfection!
The NOS, KW V3 coilovers, SMD Sound System..everything fits together very nicely. Even though I'm German, I'd prefer this one over an BMW M3! Nice work!
You are definitely built for this! Great work all the way around. I have 2010 350 and would love just half the stuff you have installed. I was just going to add a sub but now I have a lot to think about. Props!
Steve thanks for taking the time and comment on my system.thaks..

Steve, you have a very big fan from Croatia.. Your sound system is amazing.. I'm enjoying in every of your videos...

Steve your work and attention to detail is amazing..Thanks for the video's and showing the hard work on how it all goes together!
its all good, seriously, normally that is a good way to do it. If i put some MB Quarts in someones ride behind the stock grills, i would always grab the MB logo and put it on there just to let em know they are not stock anymore :D
