Finally replaced my battery bank with a REAL power supply! My tests should be a lot more consistent now that i will have no voltage drop during the dyno runs. I plan on certifying amps and creating a list of every single one of them that passes. I can't wait to get started! This is just video one of about 2. I am still waiting on my laser machine to show up so i can make some nice covers and LED mounts for this. Make sure you subscribe to see how it comes out! Of course, lots more tests to come!

Steve what are you going to do with the batteries give away maybe.
Yea my car dont have battery I could use one
Fukkk wat did i just say abt these ppl
Are you selling your test bench Batteries?
Uwant his tahoe too might aswell uguys askn for all his stuff wanna take da dog too on da way out
As an electrician and a car stereo guy, this video tickled me. Good stuff again, sir. Can't wait to see the finish.
"Yo. My bad, dawg! Know what I'm sayin'? That shit's hype. It's 'bout to get rowdy up in here. "
lmao
Doug Bernards could use those XS batteries for his White Rider.
Yes he needs batteries for hydraulics
Test bench is getting that sweet make over. Take your time with that Steve....because to be honest, i am ready to see this new power supply put in work!!!
Epic my brother!
That’s one hell of an upgrade brother, can I assume we will see a ton of amp tests in the near future 😊👍👍👍
🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
It doesn't matter what you did doug.
Upgrade the alternator on the Thunderturd and use these batteries for your hydros!
Your videos are very educative & interesting at the same time.Amazing wiring for the power supply. can't wait for the part 2.
5 volt 600 AMP🤔 can I borrow to do a 5 sec fast charge on my cell?
That looks so good in the test bench Steve!!! Evolution is on point @ the SMD Headquarters. Cant wait to see the jems that come off that laser...gonna be epic!!!
Love watching to see what your jamming on for the time being. I've had to look up so many old cuts from just watching these videos. Stay doing ur thing meade man all the way from Tulsa, Oklahoma!
Steve like I've said before love your workmanship. .. that has to be the best amp dyno bench in the game right now.. exact voltage numbers will be a game changer ...
ps that electricians cordless band saw was DOOOOOPPPPEEE
Slid in, like it was born to be there.... awesome... Bring on the testing !!!
give doug bernards some of those batteries for his tbird
For the amount of power that supply is putting out that 4/6 wire is pretty modest to run it that is great considering how much wire it takes to run 1,000 amps at 12 volts
Man I really dig these types of videos! Keep these coming! Thanks man be careful bro! Don’t hurt your back ! That’s how my dad messed up his but keep it cool ! I’ll be waiting on number 2!
That is absolutely bad ass can't wait till its all up and going.
Can't wait to see that thing in action
I’d hate to have to pay his electricity bill 😮😂 badass power supply 😈 that how SMD does it tho 👌
It will still probably be a lower power bill than it would be with the battery bank.
Was just going to say that charging the battery bank would be more expensive over time that only using the power when you need it.
Definitely could be true.
Never thaught about that
Smd you need to diy some solar panels on the roof and some chevy volt batteries for the shop
That is if we are worrying about the bills but i dont think you are
This is totally badass SMD! Being able to vary your voltage while testing, will defiantly make AmpTestTuesday more interesting :D Keep up the good work, will always be a fan
"Need 5V at 600A? You got it." 🤣🤣🤣
wow..ive played with DC power supplies before, but this thing is a BEAST... Will be interesting to see what goes on the test bench now!
Those twist locks are legit!! We use those for our miller welders got 4 miller welders on a cart and all are wired to a power distribution and then out to that twist lock plug
Damnit boy this power supply is sweet, I've seen you rock those batteries for years on the test bench can't wait to see how this succa gone turn out with the upgrades!...
Dope azz show Meade! Look at that DAF thing lol its huge! I LOVE OUR HOBBY!
Awesome!!! Thats should be really convenient for you now
im assuming there is gonna be a huge transformer, a power supply section (like seen in amplifiers), and a cap bank.
Notification squad🤟🏽
Steve your awesome you have one of the most viewers I'm subscribe to and you are the only one that I see that truly tries to answer all his fans you rock
i don't try to answer all the fans. I can't. It's impossible. I try to answer some though. But thanks Matt!
I like to read your comments you really do get through alot just giving respect where respect is do you work over 40 hours and still have time to go though hours of comments and go through your films. Hope I can work as hard as you one day!!!
That’s F-ing dope. I wonder how it felt holding all that power🤔. I’m sure you get nervous every time you make that connection. Nice upgrade.
we use the twist locks at work, wonderful plugs.
Looks awesome, can’t wait to see it in action.
Make sure you get some maxell ultra caps for surge capacity to take strain off of power supply when you push a BIG amp, the 2500 capacity series will do well and will save you from killing your new power supply
Sound man needs those batteries bad. You'd make his day with 4 of those bad boys. He has shitty batteries cobbled together running his new hydraulics setup. It hurts.
Did you add a 3rd wheel to the cart? & since you’ve got such a solid power supply & massive one at that. You going to run that 4/0 wire you have to the distribution blocks or just stick with what you had on it Before
Should use some of that 8/0 wire you reviewed a while ago
planning on it. :)
Awesome! Can’t wait for part two
For some reason it made me happy seeing that you’ve got some Cerwin Vegas on your shelves 😂
Cant wait to see what this thing is capable of
If you plan on getting rid of any of those XS Batteries hit me up. My Optima took a crap this morning. 8 year old batt. Keep up the good work man! Love the videos.
your optima is a 12v battery. These won't work for you. thanks though
I've got a built alternator and it kept that Optima at 13.9 I think that's why It died. I've got a supercap bank and as long as I unhook the optima since its died I can start my car if I'm quick lol.
Thanks for replying man. big inspiration
13.9 is good...for a 12v battery. It isn't good for a 14.5v battery like a D1400. Those charge at almost 16v.
Hell yeah slapping E-40. Triple OG!
that's pretty neat.
whats a supply like that cost ?
Passing the torch. Where did the time go? Setting the bar. Total SMD!
Thats a bad ass power supply man!!! I'd love one of them "spare" batteries... lol
industrial work! Hell yeah,man!
Wow that’s a serious power supply!!
so glad you didn't throw your back out again
hey Steve since you got an upgrade to your test bench can you retest the Rockford 4000bd amp
Dope ass upgrade
3 phase is fun stuff, if you have a motor running backward, just swap two hots and it will go the other way. lol
am I the only one who noticed that the cnc ISN'T running in the background?
Cool device you got there, looks kinna scary though aint gonna lie alotta juice runnin through that thing. Be safe man!
Clean as always mr Meade !
You should make a test bintch with your laser cutter do the box the amp as well run some leds make everything clear
Remake everything clear your pawer box everything
That stop light joke sent me hahah (7:30)
When you had all those batteries, did you had to keep charging them individually when you weren't using them, it did you charged them all together? Or did you do something else?
damn like you built rack for it. it fit so perfect
SICK ASS POWER SUPPLY STEVE!!!!!!!!!!!
that is sweet i need to get me one of them....where do you find somthing like that..?....looks great steve...cheers
Ayyye Rolling Soundz my buddy Nas always hooks me up!!
I need a power supply like that to run my linear for my CB radio
Hey are you going to use that supper huge power and ground wire
don't scrach the paint on the LEX..LOL GOOD SHIT STEAV..upgrades are all ways good along with fowerd progress
Bro u have had the bench for as long as i can remember. Sad to see it disassembled
Alright so when's the big battery giveaway???? ill take mine with an autograph please..... Seriously on Friday you should do a nice woofer Flex Friday with one of your SMD s... Using the biggest amp you got to test so that you can check out how badass that new test system is.. keep those videos coming ,thank you for your hard work
I can already hear Steve saying "this is amp test tuesday"😁🤣
BTW: You should donate those battery’s to “Soundman’’ for his hydros 👍👍👍
Just a thought
Trade him for ipad kits!
Thing looks like it was in my high school electronics class (I'm old) hah
I forget, did you say this got reconditioned before it was sold to you? Just curious. Thanks for sharing this process
What dedicated circuit has your electrician wired to the shop itself? In terms of amps. We wire some of our home theaters with dual 60 amp circuits and use Richard Grey Power stabilizers to juice the amplifiers.
Excited to see this!!
Seems like you would want to run some batteries or caps along with that power supply so that the power supply doesn't have to work so hard in dynamic tests; any plans for that?
could you do another dyno video of the dc 9k when you're done?
What size wire is gonna be used for the outputs?? And what is the deal with the rockford fuse holder having by the breaker box?!?!
you will see...and that isn't a RF fuse holder.
@@meade916 distro block?
I was wondering too.
I am right there with you, I got a HP6268 for my power supply ....$15 for it
Do you have a video on how you built the test bench
Over under on how many times they trip over that damn firehose?
no worse than dragging around a cord for a welder..
Clean job definitely bad ass!👍👍
That thing is a frickin beast, I wonder what the absolute limit will be for what amps it can power sustainably
10,000 watts.
Yeah true, I just wonder if there will be any headroom after that. Like an underrated type of situation
not really...i will probably get some voltage drop after that. I don't test a lot of 10kw+ amps anyway.
Very true. Are you going to use the old batteries for a future build or something?
Selling any of the old test bench batteries?
Awesome now you have power
I'd personally keep 4 batteries flanking the PSU to act like a capacitor, or maybe a lithium or 2, or even caps would do the job when running things like the raven. Either way, tests will be much more fair now
Killing the game bro!!!
Man i need that creature in my life.
I'll buy one XS. With your signature on it of course. I WANT TO DO BIG SHIT WITH MY SOUND SYSTEM.Thank you very much.
Steve are you selling any of those batteries I need one desperately.
these batteries won't do anything for you. They are D1400 (14v batts).
@@meade916 I was doing a setup simular to your much smaller
again, you don't have a proper setup to run 14v batteries that also charge at 16v. So they won't do you any good. Sorry.
That's what's up congratulations for new power. That's shit is sexy. Are you doing giveaways for the batteries?
ohhhh yaaaa!! MORE POWER !!!!!!!!!!!!!
say do you know if that power supply is going to be noisey ... like hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
"about 260lbs" handles it like a fuckin boss
That will be beast!
That shit is clean AF dammm
SMD👍🏼
I see a bunch of 1/2 gage and batteries going into the new esclade am i right?
Notification gang raise your hands!!
I hear Steve bumping E40 and B-Legits newest collaboration album. What's your favorite song?
Where did you buy the table wheels?
hey Steve I am in need of two batteries any for sale
Does your electrician want to make a trip out here to Vegas and do a run for a gun range for us
What are you going to do with all those batteries?
Sweet machine bud, how bout throwing a broke father one of those xs batteries!!! You should have a giveaway!
won't do you any good. These are 14v batts. I doubt ill do a giveaway. More like a sellaway.
Lovely show keep it up
Nice steve 👍
Nice upgrade! i like it
208v 3 phase? Is that realistically comparable to the power supplies in autos?
are you really asking that question? :facepalm:
@@meade916 is that a yes or no? Lol
@@truthbeknown23 do you even know what you are looking at? LOL. You do know that it is being converted to DC power right? That is how it is realistically comparable. LOL
