Ok maybe it's considered "Bullet Resistant", but "Bulletproof" sounded better. At 1" Thick i am sure it can stop a lot of different bullets. This material just reminds me of being at the bank. Speaking of BANK, this is expensive! Any time you get quoted for a custom box like this and you think the price is too high, remember, the material is expensive but most of the cost is in the gamble. Just look at this stuff wrong and it is ruined! Don't let anyone lie to you. These type of boxes are a pain in the a**! there is NO second chances and the sheets are almost $700 each. 1" Acrylic is no joke, that is the best way i can put it. So far so good though. I still have plenty of time to ruin it though! Wish me luck! Check back when i peel the paper back and bond everything together soon! Thanks for watching!

About my subs (visit www.b2audio.com... for more info)
RAMPAGE XM
2012 had the seeds planted for the RAMPAGE. A direct derivate from the legendary & innovative X2C subwoofer with a 5″ voice coil. Although the RAMPAGE XM is based on a 4″ coil platform, its performance will not stand in the shade of its heritage. In many ways, it pushes the boundaries even further. The new basket offers better cooling with improved SAFT (Smooth Air Flow Tech) & has the ability of offering even more XMAX than the previous basket . 3.15″/ 80 mm peak to peak handled by the 315 mm / 12.4″ spiders , that are amongst the largest you will find on any traditional 15″ subwoofer (without the use of adapters), in addition the new basket offers a triple landing so you can customize the stiffness and spider size to your application.
OCAF
OCAF version II (Optimized Cooling And Flow) implemented in the new motor design has adapted the large flares from the X2C’s backplate. In addition the pole piece features a dual cooling system that leads the air more efficiently away from the voice coil. Even though the internal diameter of the coil is 4″, the outer diameter of 4.33″ makes this coil a widebody, coupled with an 8 layer tall winding, this design is made for daily abuse or demo days!
The RAMPAGE XM’s motor keeps the same 10.24″ diameter as previous XM subwoofers, but the triple stack ferrite slugs are increased by 25%. Still we are able to keep the entire height of the motor to a mere 10% more than 2nd gen XM. With the longer Xmech, the added 10% comes into play.
Stiffness
Another tool was made for the XL composite dustcaps with embossed B2 logo. The half spherical design with wider wedges stiffens up the cone, offering greater stability, and helps keep that transient response tight. So when the bass drops its on point. Using a slightly wider strech foam surround there’s less mechanical parts that will limit your stroke.

Michigan, chromecast from phone to tv with my humble denon/klipsch surround setup
That box is going to belong in a museum eventually
The whole caddy 😌👌🏽
When the sun hits the plexiglass 🙌🏽 it’s gorgeous
How can anyone dislike this amazing feat of design and manufacturing..
Is just ignorant people
jealousy
Jealousy tbh
24 people are jealous they don’t have this
Haters tbh
Even though I'm an old ass basshead at 50, seeing these types of builds make me feel like i did when i was bumping 30 years sgo. I still get excited.
Those CNC machines are magic. Everything comes out beautiful. I love installers that take pride in their work. Great work and excellent patience.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I once had one of the loudest trucks in Michigan. 7 12's and 2 15 inch subwoofers. It pounded hard as hell the ground shook. I set off every car alarm shook all the houses on every street I drove down. Oh boy I miss that system it got stolen.
I remember it was a plexiglass window on wooden box with a mirror inside that made me fall in love with car audio when I was a kid.
Those guys did magic 🪄 thats insane the scratches disappear 🙌🏽 nice box 📦 looks like a pice of Art the acrylic Mona lisa 🖼 😍
Now that is a piece of art. Beautifully done Mr. Meade
Hey man this is the sickest Escalade ever
TY Papi!
I love how the Tahoe is equally just as clean as the Escalade such as age difference yet it doesn’t show
This video series isn't coming out fast enough. Cmon Steve!! Amazing work. Look forward to the next one.
Love the way they look now the the thing is how they sound in person.
This is the sickest looking install i have ever seen man, nailed the box nailed the amp rack. SICK AS HELL !!!
Watchin from Louisville kentucky with a couple inches of ice on everything. Dang that's some pretty work bro
We keep it slick in the Ville!
Lol Im up in North CT we have 18 inches of snow just saying....
That ice ain’t no joke that we got today. I would take snow any time over ice.
Damn no wonder I haven’t gotten any updates on my 2 subs I ordered 😂 but yea it’s crazy weather all over Texas and everywhere else
I see meade, I click. Simple
Love the passion and details that have gone into this
I would have never noticed those spacers. This box is sick.
Epic my brother that is the most beautiful box I have ever seen! I'm 42 .i used to do competitions here in Newport News Virginia back in the mid to late 90's to early 2000's awesome work my brother 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
this is art, and your works must be in a museum.
Stunning! Thanks for including us on your journey and showing us the good and bad that can happen to even the best of us!
This is the most freaking awesome box I've ever seen
Years ago I was part of an install team that did 2 acrylic boxes for a customer. We had a place in FL that built fish tanks build them. When they arrived the corners were not rounded over as specified so we had to do it. Seems like it took FOREVER to finally get all the rounded corners sanded and then polished to crystal clear. We literally would not touch the boxes without wearing soft gloves and/or wrapping them up in moving blankets. The customer won world champ in his power class that year, so that was cool. Box looks great! I miss doing audio stuff sometimes.
She's turning out so nice Steve! The spacers are a nice touch and a great spot to hide the LEDs if they would fit an work. Can't wait to see the caddy beauty rings, and the mirrors! Great job Steve! Thanks again for the work of art!
Gotta be the sickest box I’ve seen in a long time.
thanks Mr. KRT!
Tacoma wa , my phone , I drive forklift for a living and I would've been stressed TF out moving that box 😂😂
This build is gonna be supper clean
Houston Texas love ur work and watching on my phone
If a guy wasn’t so busy running a company building the coolest car audio accessories he wouldn’t be rushed and make mistakes like us normal joes. These latest builds or rebuilds are just incredible! Had sand and polish out a lot of machined acrylic pieces at a job many years ago, looks like your guys from Gately Audio are experts at it!
Looks awesome! I like how the color of the wires match the subs. So weird to see the subs look like they're kind of just floating in there. Very cool.
Every damn time that box gets moved my blood pressure goes up. Man, great save on the scratch. Wasn't sure if the trim panel would've covered it...nope, had to be buffed out. Grand Rapids, MI. Hella fire bro...
Beautiful accident with the spacers , I think they make it look nicer
Thats the cleanest forklift I've ever 👀
grand rapids, michigan ..been watching off my note 10. ive worked in the glass /door industry my entire life so this build had my full attention from day 1...cant wait to hear the first fire up in the ride..
Such a good looking box 🔥🔥🔥
I’m in Parma Heights Ohio. Accidents happen. But it was an easy fix. Box looks awesome. The spacers look nice on there as well. Great job everyone 👍👍👍
Must be very tricky to keep that acrylic scratch free when it’s that big and heavy and the subs are big and heavy. Good save though! Plus with those spacers!
Watching from Liberty, Kentucky on my phone, sitting in my Subaru warming it up and melting the ice off. Loving it Steve! Fun to watch, your equipment and work is amazing.
That's what I call professional details perfection i love it
Some people are just born with certain skills. Awesome work.
Dope as Always! Richmond, Indiana.
Greenwood, IN
Looking awesome. Cant wait for the final video. To see it all tie together.
Hey Steve, next project: the forklift needs some beats!!
This is build absolute artwork bro this has got to be the cleanest Escalade I’ve ever seen
Hey Steve love your builds and all the digital fabrication your shop does.
South Carolina chilling on the porch watching my phone listening to the rain coming down
Steve, looks amazing. Good to see I'm not crazy, and the only one who goes big with the sub fasteners.
Man I cant wait to see those things MOOVVEE
Ey so we out here San diego ca 🤪 smokin that fire 🔥 enjoying another Meade exclusive 👍
Dog in the pool for the win!!! Nice save with the spacers, btw.
It's not always fun but I love it when I'm putting a heavy ass sub in a box trying not to smash my fingers lol nice job Steve!
Sickest escalade build by far just the quality of the build from audio to performance top notch keep doing your thing

Professionalism at it’s best!

Just like fixing a scratch on a car. Delicate work and the right pads and polish
Coming in live from the great Smokey mountains. Franklin. North Carolina. I admire your work and knowledge 💪. Flawless
That box is sick “AF”!
Box looks incredible. I think it looks better with the spacers
That is awesome, Shout out, Glendale AZ on the TV watching some Steve and Friends
Love that cheeky "bullet proof" but hey its all for the youtube algorithm. Amazing how the system turned out.
Man this is gonna be sick when it's done thank god he took out the Scratch 💪🏽😎
Bulletproof ‘eh?
A collaboration with DemoRanch to prove that would be cool. It wouldn’t end well but would be big time cool 😁
Amazing work, brother! As always so fresh, so clean, and unique! And Baby just chillin!
One of the cleanest yet sickest subs I ever seen, ngl! 🔥
I'll love to have a box like that. Game changer
I been wanting to be a customer FOR YEARS. BASS KING MEADE is a EXTREMELY BUSY MAN. Can’t wait to spend some dough on a HIGH QUALITY EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL SETUP.
Steve brotha I bought a SMD fuse block that holds 4 fuses got it in the mail bro this thing is awesome I plan on getting another one to put in my daughters car when the funds get better
It’s sooo beutiful!!! I can’t wait fir them power up !!
Those guys are miracle workers
East texas in the house watching on phone brother ur like a mad scientist ur skill level is off the charts....
I can already visualize putting a small system on the forklift just for fun and something different
Dude trust me I think about it everyday at work. two six by nines hanging from the top left and right and a 10 inch woofer behind the seat or something
@@rmblwgn sounds about the same idea I was thinking. Even an 8 inch woofer would be enough bass.
Only one word to describe all of this🤩Amazing 🤩
thanks Matt!! Appreciate it bro.
Beautiful work. Enclosure looks amazing but looks small for 6 12s I have to ask what's the total volume and goal for tuning? Orlando Fl
It's not too small. It's just right.
Lol Steve can’t ever just say something positive or answer a question without being Toxic AF.
Marysville Ca. Not too far from Sac, drive past the shop every now and then when I'm on a parts run. Cant wait to see this setup done and slammin.
Cincinnati Ohio.... your work is art!
So sick dude love it
Made me nervous moving the box on the forklift and it's not even mine. Great job as usual. Would expect nothing less.
Beautiful box in a Beautiful truck!
Phenomenal enclosure build Steve 👍✌
Adapt and over come. Sweet work on that box. That SH** is clean!
Honestly it looks better with the spacers anyway 💪🔥
