@Conner no shit on the programming. No way on the straight pipe. LOL. That is literally the last thing i would ever do. Could use a little tune though. Or just leave it alone it's great the way it is stock.
what kind of cutter did you use to cut that wire??
God Bless you and Family. Salute #SMD
How can I get in touch with this guy...potential work but I'm not in California....any giveaways or donations you want to do?
I know it's a LONG video just showing wire..imagine how it was to do the work while filming and then spending 7 hours editing when you get home. I love this but it is work! I appreciate everyone who watches, especially if you watch the entire thing! Thank you!
I'll always watch till the end. I always get new ideas for systems after watching your builds. I'm making plans for my wife's Ford Flex right. Not looking forward to that wiring.
Doing it correctly , and work business on top of it then editing you are showing what quality hard work is done , no short cuts!
I'm glued from start to finish.
Thank you for your time scrubbing all this content together.
Ive watched this like 7 times now. Just entertaining to me. As i have the 2017 f150 and needed ideas for the big 3 and fuse block position
I wish there was a shop like this near me that does such quality work. The attention to detail is second to none!! Mind Blown
Same bro!!! I’d be willing to pay 5-10 grand for a superb system but I can’t trust any shops in my area (vista CA)
Try here in Southern Maryland. The shops in my area are laughable and all the reputable shops went out of business because of how new cars come with decent sound systems stock and people are cool with what they put out.
Honestly!
Same here. None of the audio shops here carry 0/1
Just order it online, smdh.
Hey man don’t apologize for the noise, you have a business to run and money to make , you run those machines anytime you need to and we’ll deal with it
"just out of the principalities of the situation"...gotta love that statement
hahahahah!!! i was wondering how many people would pick that up :D :D
Reppin the CAF shirt. Steve always throwing the love to others!
Rivet nuts are my new favorite tools for car audio installs. They just look so clean and stock. They always look like they're meant to be there. Even for securing boxes, wiring, brackets... they work miracles for everything car related.
that was random...but thanks i guess. lol
I wanted to say mad props for representing CAF. Both in car audio and both competitors. This is how everything should be. Work together!
as a Ford tech that is typical for the batteries to leak out of the caps, the batteries usually only last a couple yrs anyway as they cook to death from engine heat.
Sounds like bad design on Ford's part
@@philb707 genious idea to stick batteries in any engine compartment in any vehicle. especially today with as hot as engines run.
@@juggernautxtr touche'
Those ford logo heatshrinks are bad ass, good stuff sir
I heard walk by Pantera and immediately liked the video
Never apologise for ur machines running Steve, we appreciate every video you upload, and we understand that you are a busy man, thanks for doing a great job with all your great products keep grinding and keep your brand growing and thriving
Steve, my mind was just blown.
It took me a minute to realize that was your son. I don't know why I subconsciously imagined he'd be doing the Bart Simpson thing and stay looking the exact same for all these years. I've been drooling over your work for a long time now. I remembered scrolling through the hundreds of pictures you put up of the gold tahoe getting the SMD treatment and thinking it was awesome that your boy was out there helping and learning. So to see him now as a man and probably older now than I was when I was poppin chubs over 4 18" BTLs (or even the DDs) in a tahoe knocking glass eyes out, it blew my mind a little bit and got me all nostalgic.
Huge admirer of the level of craftsmanship and end results you produce and it's not an exaggeration to say my bucket list includes one day being able to bring a vehicle out to your shop and letting you go crazy with it.
One tier down from that in the priority list of life goals is just to sit in the tahoe for a demo. So I don't know if you ever make random ass cross country trips but if you happen to find yourself in the Dallas TX area and you're hauling some bass around...
HIT. ME. UP.
All the best man, keep doing what you're doing.
I have never been jealous of heat shrink before. Now I want to cut mine off and redo it with factory logos
I like how the family is involved in fulfilling a passion that happens to also be a relatively fun career!
Yeeaahh!
What a crazy and exciting video! And, one of the most important parts to any after market project. The electrical can make or break a system. Thanks for the refresher course.
Don't worry about the machines in the background it's just the sound of success. Love your videos man
I am so glad to see you do a video of an install. Its been awhile and people question us daily in our shop. And I'm watching this and seeing our works is pretty damn spot on with eachother. Just nice to see another guy in the field keeping it real on install day.
Love the video bro im 15 years old and has been into speaker for 3 years now i hooked up and wired my dads system in his car
Steve... I really enjoy watching you work on projects. You can just whip stuff together like it was meant to be. You've definitely given me some confidence when I work on stuff. I appreciate you taking the time to share the videos. I remember watching you work in the car port at your house. You deserve the benefits of your hard work.
Thanks again !
great quality. been watching your videos for probably ten years. keep it comin man. im glad you have progressed into what you have.
I love that dog, and every video is much appreciated.
Electrician here, Look up the "ty-rap" tool. Its a really clean way of installing zip-ties., Ty-Raps have metal on the connection end, and you can use the Ty-Rap gun to install them.
Man I worked on the flight line for the military for 14 years. That background noise is nothing. Soothing, ya might say lol. Thanks for the vid!!!
his attention to detail is on point
Thanks for taking the time to upload an install video I miss em lol
how do you "miss em"? i never stopped doing this. You should sub the channel so you don't miss my vids when i post them. :D
@@meade916 I've been a sub since you built chickens Escalade at your house when it used to be that pearl white
I hallucinate with the professionalism that you do everything
I like that you do these kinda vlog/step by step build videos. I mounted my fuse for my subs on top of my engine fuse box the same way you did, and have had thoughts about it it was something others had done. Thanks for quieting the doubts, Steve!
I like the heat foil as added protection for your wires...better safe than sorry
Steve the dealer fills the battery to high and that’s why you have corrosion you can see the stains on the battery so check those battery caps make sure there sealed
almost every single 6.7 2017+ leaks. Had the same issue, replaced mounts with billet alum. mounts and new Odyssey AGM's.
That shrink wrap is the coolest little addiction ive seen on any project. So simple but sych an easy and great finishing touch.
STEVE, can you make a video explaining and showing the difference between "STRAPPING" amps and "DAISY CHAINING" amps cause a lot of people can't hook up 4 subs and 2 amps, one amp per set of subs. I think that would an awesome "how to" and "explanation of difference" between the two methods.
Look at all that beautiful 0gauge
Above the audio game!! Heat shrinks are bad ass!👍👍
I seen it all now, You got a machine that cuts shrink wrap with any Logo you want, bro that's way cool.
If possible I'd like to buy some pieces of shrink wrap from you for my Custom PC power supply cables with Corsair logo on them? They just the bee's nuts. Just let me know how.
Coming along nicely! The Ford logo on the heat shrink was a nice touch as well. Really look forward to seeing this bump!
Don't worry about the background noise, we're all happy to hear them going, that means more product availability! Thanks for the vids Steve!
thanks man!
Steve makes awesome products and I’m fortunate enough to run his stuff in my build. But what really makes me happy is Baby! I hope he gets in the way more often lol. Thank you for what you do Steve!
Always remembering you forgot a piece of the big three. I don't mind the machines making a racket. That means you're not out of business. Baby is looking very happy. You are so blessed man. Thanks for letting us watch parts of your journey.
Incredible attention to quality and detail in your installations. Your editing is on point as well.
Hey Steve this is one of the best most awesome videos that you made test novice that are still learning and watching these born videos to a lot of people are or this amazing to people like me I like this type of videos so thank you for your hard work
Dude i learn so much when i watch you work. Thanks so much for all the knowledge you share bro it really does help!
love the custom shrink tube. makes it look the way the factory should wire their vehicles very clean!!!!
Watching Steve's videos are mandatory.
Lol wearing a CAF shirt thats awesome
This video was very informative as to how I’ve watched so many people over the years hook up wiring wrong as hell so when I begin to do my rebuild on my system I will do it correctly this time and most likely have way less issues from it this video is straight to the point just like I like it great job yet again Steve
Wire perfection !! Love the quality of workmanship always
Haha only Steve could make a video about running wire entertaining. Keep em coming!
Steve dont apologize you got to make money love your video's 👍👍👍
Don’t apologize for the machines brother. We understand the hustle! Can’t wait to hear them B2’s bumpin’!
These installs are so clean and neat !!!
Very cool to see all the professional work on a project like this, especially on a 6.7 PSD F250, and I really like the "Ford" logos you printed on the cable connector covers. You keep it simple but professional, the best!
Never apologize for your machine that’s what makes your money
Stilll MUCHO AMOR meaning MUCH LOVE over here from MEXICO Steve keep up that HARD WORK!!!
Great video man. Love how you do your wiring.
I see a lot of criticism in your videos by people that probably don’t even know the first thing about installing a car stereo. People that don’t have anything better to do with their time. They can always turn the video off.
I like these wiring videos a lot, it's the one thing I really don't know much about so it's interesting and I can learn something too.
Thanks Steve.
Love the pantera in the back brother
The Ford emblem is a really nice touch on the ends of the wires.
Mr Meade in the laboratory cooking up another A1 build thumbs up.
Awesome video as always Steve! Been a viewer since 2011 and I love where this channel has gone
They are all "Crazy and Exciting" videos 28:17 Steve 😄
That is a dream shop foreal...I would live there lol
Always something new to learn from your videos👌🏿
Damn bro the big Ford is coming along good, shidddddddd Ford themselves would be proud of the wiring job you did making it look like it was done in the factory...
Great video as always. I really can’t wait to see how you are going to connect the new system up to the factory deck. I have the same truck and want to do a system like this but I’m not sure how to get the signal from the factory. I can’t even get anything to turn on if I disconnect the stock amp. 😡 man it’s frustrating. Not like the old days when you just plug and play.
Big monster systems, or "small" systems, always a nice clean install!! That heat shrink printer is badass!! Haven't seen that before. Way cool!
"It's all work and it all has to get done" if there's one thing I could get customers to truly understand it would be this.
Damn that install is clean asf, and the custom fuse holder and heat shrink is just sick. Great video as always.
I was like no big 3 ? Is Steve ok? Then boom you never let me down. Practice what you preach. Great job never skip steps no matter the system size.
I'm doing my big three upgrade today using sky high 0 gauge. I live in the UK and got my wire from Bladeice. They also do B2 Audio. Anyone shopping for braided sleeping for 0 gauge in Europe get 15mm for a snug fit.
Steve is the best car audio installer hands down
nah. Not even close. But i appreciate ya. thanks!
Some orange header wrap works good to. I worked in a foundry and we used it on come of the cables to protect them
I love seeing a job done properly. Something to be proud of.
I love that pearl jam is playing while your working that's my favorite band. I've got 1 12 Treo xs sub with a 1500 monoblock Treo amp. I've had the setup for 9 years and it's still running good. Love watching your videos also man.
Can’t wait see this system finished
a lot of good music playing in the background
i don't mind the sound of the machines in the background it adds to the vibe
Love BLS & Pantera playing in the background.
Unlike alot of ppl, u took the cover off to screw down the new fuse holder, I honestly can't tell you how many drywall screws I have removed from customers fuse block cover AND fuses cause they just set it there and ran a screw through it and through the fuse beneath it lol.
Meade you make it look to easy , and we know it isn't, I have a f350 lifted 10in so it's really going to be fun to do the big 3,lol, but I wish that I lived in your state I'd bring my truck to you.
What’s link for that crimping tool?
Tow rig gonna be slappin this summer!
Super clean, man. Always setting and raising the bar in the car audio game
@meade916 your batteries are probably overheating and venting out the caps, mine did the same damn thing and I just threw in some Optimas to get me by.
Thanks for the update. I watch all of your vids. Keep up the good work brother.
So... you have a printer that spits out heat shrink. One day I'll have one. Man you have all the real work out of the way, smooth sailing from here.
That ford heat shrink was a dope little touch 🤘🏻
Gotta love Pantera in the background. Vulgar display of power
Always hit the like before watching
thanks Jay i appreciate that my bro.
It's the Principalities...Smokey!! ☕🤘🏼
hahahah
Thanks for taking the time to continue putting these vids out even though your busy making your products man 👍🏻
Can I ask why you put the cable from the alt to the fuse plate vs the battery? I’m about to do mine and curious. Will it still help the battery in that location ?
@@jcook8191 If you notice our SMD Fuse holder, one side is a solid bar. Both the battery and the alternator are connected on that same bar.
meade916 thanks for the reply . I never knew you could do it like that
I’m learning every day I see your video keep up the good work
Love these videos Bro-Ski
Is getting there slowly but surely 👍
Def an awsome truck . Good shyt bro.... I was to cheap for a crimper so I improvised a long time ago on my power wires I'll get the matching terminal on my 0... I'll flip it up in a vise add alittle flux... heat the terminal with a torch as I'm puddling in solder to the brim and dip my power wire in hold it for 10secs. .. it kinda became a habit and awsome and I've stuck with it.. working on diesels and owning one them cables are mandatory for your starting system 🤘badass 6.7 bro...
When I did my big 3 I ran 0 Guage from positive alt to positive battery from neg battery to frame then from frame to engine ground is that correct?
I love your music man.
Aye I seen that MINT. Hoodie shoutout haggard garage baby
I really respect the fact that you guys were listening to the black gives way to blue album on the towers! XD saw them live at DTE when that album came out.
Good move on making an extra engine ground. I've heard of cases where the grounds fail and the electricity welds the transmission together.
