    New wiring coming soon from www.ceAutoElectricSupply.com
    My old buddy Rob, known him for 30 years, came by and said his fuses kept blowing..and asked if i had a "40 amp" for him. I took one look at his system and knew i had to do something. I fixed him up and got him on the road. I told him, when i have time, i will go through and fix all this stuff for you. It's BAD. REAL Bad. In a funny way. I guess he got it mostly like this. I don't know who is responsible for the bucket o' bass but i HAD to share this with you guys. Make sure to subscribe and hit like if you think i should hook Rob up proper and fix this for him.

    I commented a couple videos back about how this project was lagging, but I take it all back. You are going way beyond what was required of this truck, and it shows just how genuine you are as a person by hooking your friend up using your own expenses. SMD does not fuck around.

    I was about to be like cmon steve step it up an get this shit done then you said you where paying personally out of pocket an those incriminator amps cost a good amount alone so i see now why its taking a little bit i will admit you humbled me mr meade an i remembered why your my favorite car audio guy because your so giving but never look for praise within your kindness brother

    Very nice man killer equipment its gonna beat. As for the people that are complaining about the videos not coming fast enough you all step off. This man is using his own time, money, shop, and expertise to build his friend a pro system. He has a business to run as well parts and equipment to make so know what your talking about before you speak. Awesome job Steve paying it forward keep up the astonishing work dude.

    I hope the owner of this truck has a decent security system on it or he's planning to do so because when this is done it's going to have serious bucks on car audio.

  • @carlrountree6207
    @carlrountree6207 6 років тому +3

    Excessively nice wiring. I'm of the belief that wiring is the foundation of any setup. Good grounds, reliable and durable materials and connections, headroom. This is where a good install starts, and without it, it's not a good install. It's not a show truck, but that's not why the wiring is right. It has to be right, regardless of who sees it. Good idea on the extra wiring for accessories. This guy obviously is the sort to need the, and giving him a safe, reliable place to get power without wrecking the necessary connections at the battery is smart thinking for him and for you as the guy who'll have to fix it later if it gets messed up.

    Steve does some amazing work! No short cuts no half assing of any kind, not even the slightest! I’ve been doing my own car audio for years now, and I will say Steve has inspired a lot of how I do thing to this day! I’ve gone 3 different routes with the system in my truck in the past year and a half. 1st was 2 12” Sony xplods and a kenwood 1500watt amp, 2nd was 3 12” Sony xplods, and a Logic 2000watt amp, 3rd was a 15” Kicker CVR and a Power Acoustik Razor 1500watt amp. Currently in the making is my 4th using 2 15” Q-Power subs, in a slot port Q-Bomb box, with each sub having its own Power Acoustik Razor 1500watt amp and a 500k Farad Cap!

    • @meade916
      @meade916  6 років тому

      yes, indeed. There are other fuse holders out there..there are other distro blocks. There are distro bars. But mine don't look like or resemble anyone elses. On the other hand, there has been a few others who tried and continue to bootleg mine. They are all about 5 versions behind me though as i have learned a lot along the way with thousands and thousands sold world wide. Anyway, thanks man!
