FINALLY it has a pulse! It fires up nice and the Mechman 400a Alternators turn great. NO slippage yet! I have a few more loose ends to do before i can really let this rip. As it stands, everything in the office just falls off the walls. I need to take it outside. But i have stuff to finish before i get to that. More than anything i am just happy to be able to start this thing every day and NOT have to keep it on a charger 24/7 anymore.
If you are wondering how i got these amplifiers to run on 17v when they usually shut down at 16, i actually stepped down the voltage JUST for the remote wires (the turn on's). The red step down modules (see previous video's) feed the small fuse block and that block runs small 12v items, some 17v items and also the remotes. Yes, that is correct. The amps THINK they are seeing 14.3 (when running) but they are actually getting the full 17. Everything works great so far.

If you follow my instagram channel you know this video is a couple of days behind. It takes time to get the work done and even more time to film and edit. Especially when i am mostly by myself. I don't like interrupting my employee's to hold the camera. They are busy! If you are interested in daily updates as well as lots of live streams from the shop, give me a follow! instagram.com/meade916 thanks for watching if you did!
Yes more 🎥🎥
That’s a bad ass ride.
And maybe new door panels more newer speakers all around
@@jessicapoole34 new door panels? why? LOL!!! these are still in perfect condition. So are the speakers.
I can t they’re your grand babies interrupt 😂
The amount of work and time that has gone into this truck is crazy, love the build. Been following it since that lady's eye popped out
Hahahaha yeah right!!!
@@justkiddin1980 the video is still on TH-cam im pretty sure. She had a fake eye but it literally pops out from the bass lol
Same
I remember when morison was at chickens an thought it was Steve's house lol
@@emanuellesaisaea6476 yeah i know...i’ve been following this channel for about the same time..
Yeah boi! Droppin' vids on a Thursday night like a BOSS!
yo yo yo wussssuppppper my big bro.
This is so awesome to see! I remember the silver paint, pre air ride, small fender Bender days! When the air ride, battery cut out in the rear and fresh perreli 26’s got installed that Tahoe started to transform into a monster! What a dream to be able to be in this industry like Steve! Awesome creator!
Thanks Darren bro. I appreciate you spending all those years with me!! For real! Email me at sales@wccaraudio.com i want to send you a signed SMD hat. Your choice of color. thanks again! Cheers!
Your attention to detail is insane. Respect. Always doing great work and great builds
thanks Genaro!!
Man its 2022 and I still remember the civic build and this box being built like it was yesterday. Always love your work Mr SMD. Definitely have to do a recap of all your rides.
The truck that started it all is still alive
Man, I got nostalgic just watching those amps light up again, I still remember the videos of building the amp rack and smoke testing it to prove the haters wrong.
:)
Best tools of the trade money can buy what I would give to be able to complete a build in this mans shop.
Your attention to detail is out of this world. 👏🏼
If there’s ever a TH-camrs museum. It’s gotta have replicas of these!
I built many audio systems in the 90s and early 2000s. I miss those days. This channel brings me back. Cheers Steve.
When he played that Jeezy , sent me waaaay back when.... AF1 has a lot of BASS....
Just been through and watched all the original build videos. Great to see the evolution of this car, gets better each time. Awesome work Steve, cheers from Australia 👌🏻🇦🇺
Watching the 2009 build beginning to end like 5+ times has given me so much knowledge about car audio ❤️
That SMD on the fuse box really sets it off looks awesome
one of the cleanest and loudest caraudiobuilt..its awesome!!!
That belt diagram plate is sick
Got my SMD DD-1 today and already found that my gains were indeed not setup properly but I'm squared away now. Thanks, Steve! It feels like a real quality product that will serve me well for many years.
Your attn to detail is second to none!! Awesome work!!
Hands down Rockford in the past and currently has had some of the best looking amps for over 20 years
The OG Tahoe is on it's way back. Hell yeah.
Looks like a spaceship in there
I love the sound of those alternators.
Bro I used your fuse holder in my car for 2 12 kicker comp r running a 3300 watt 1ohm mono block d hifonics amp I loved it and never had any issues with the fuse at all. Unfortunately Sacramento drivers aren’t the safest and my car was recently totaled luckily he didn’t destroy my subs or all hell would’ve broke loose but glad to see someone enjoy there setup
That truck is straight up 🔥🔥🔥 keep up the good work
Look at Brandito with the hair trick. Good to see this one coming back. Respect.
Badass man! Glad to see it updated and bumping again. Super clean setup. Always enjoy watching your vids and have since about 2008! Has come a long way since then!
always loved this setup now its just nicer lol props man some the cleanest installs around .....
So organized. So neat.
Sometimes the little touches make a big difference
Business has grown like crazy man. All i remember is the backyard videos lol.
Congrats
Just a little chip on the fuse cover, lets customize it! Yeaaaaaaaaaa, love it man......
Details my man. The belt routing badge just adds a little dazzle dazzle to an already killer build.
I'm a Rockford Fosgate fan so I really liked this one. I got a T1 15 3 amps for subs mids and highs. I felt like I was doing something until I got embarrassed by this video. Just badass. I need a power wire like those. I have a Chevy Colorado V8, 450hp. Ima have to step my game up. Just gutted the whole interior to dynomat and wire everything correctly. Can't wait to hear it thump again. Great work man.
I want to see the Tahoe in person just to have the experience after so many years just watching it in youtube
Hands down one of the cleanest builds on TH-cam! Amazing shit man keep up the killer work!
Great clean work. Been an admirer of your work the day i came across your channel.
Those finishing touches are great! Makes the world of difference
The best set-up I've ever seen on an under power system.
Been loving this build Steve. Awesome work.
Taking time and being patient is key💪🏾
I really like this older Tahoe build dope asf!!
I would kill to have this guys tools. Your shop set-up is sick bro.
I appreciate your attention to detail
everything looks easy to Steve
Your vision and details are always on point!!
The Tahoe lives to fight another day :) very nicely done Steve.
I remember watching the vids from the back yard when u were first building this beast what over ten years ago for sure I think 13 but not sure
Solid power supply making all the difference!! Good stuff man 👍
I have been following the series from the beginning. Awesome job Steve. Looking clean af.
He put that diagram on as if anyone else will ever work on it!
This is amazing! Your craftmanship is unmatched!
Sick build, man. I love how organized and clean it looks. Top notch
Bad ass man! All the small details always make the build
That belt diagram is siick! Very nice touch Steve
So much attention to detail. What a dream build.
thank you brotha.
i'm not a speaker guy but
ima a first time viewer and i really like your video
definitely gonna watch more of your videos
I was excited to see this video in my notifications
Wired up and Fired up. So awesome Steve!
I was very big in to car audio in the late 80's and early 1990's. Things have sure changed. But, my hearing is still very bad from those days. I can't imagine working in a shop like this.
Ear plugs.
I jump every time I put fuse in I hate that spark ⚡️ but looks awesome 👏 Steve
Damn that belt routing diagram is freaking badass!!!!
SHE’S ALIVE!!!! 😍😍😍🔥 Can’t wait for Kay Kay’s build. 🤙🏼
Awesome work as always. Total POWER PLANT on wheels .🔊🔊🔊🔊⚡️⚡️⚡️
Passion + blood & sweat = BASS 100% 🔥
On to the Escalade!?!?!
i think so!
Chickens escalade?? 😯😎
Cleanest Tahoe period
Happy to hear it up and running like it was mine or as if I worked on it too,excellent work bro!
Excellent attention to detail!
Love to hear the b legit and Jeezy like the old days!
Been seeing the IG posts so I was def waiting for this video. SMD is a wizard at this Audio business💯. Cable management work crisp as hell too
this thing is an automotive audio icon. long live the tahoe. go make yourself some chocolate milk and shred some phonebooks brother!
Greatest things about humans when they put their minds to work, we’ll always have ideas. Apex predator.
1:42 didn’t know Steve’s voice went that high. #bbddaaamnnnn
So many Milwaukee battery operated tools! The rivet gun is nice. I wonder if it does stainless rivets too. I had no idea that they made so many until your videos. Tahoe still looks clean to me.
That box is a beast 13 years old or not I remember the 18 fi btl days
Definitely want to see some bass demos in that bad boy again!!
Feeling that font on the belt diagram
Project complete! Must feel good
That truck is nice as hell.. best put together i done seen in a while👍🏾👍🏾
Top of the line and over the top as usual! Nicely done Steve! Now take that thing to an empty parking lot and give us an old fashioned beat down! Please!
@JBLaccord he's gonna have to take it to a gas station first before he goes anywhere. As low as his fuel gauge was he might even have to get out his jug & pour a gallon or two in it before even leaving the shop. (Vid was recorded several days ago so I know Meade's already took care of it)
That thing is a masterpiece steve.
all the little bespoke touches are so dope
Remember to charge your caps with a 1k resistor prior to fuse installation to minimize arcing and maximize cap life.
nah. No need.
Your Chevy looks good Steve, nicely done.. 👏😍
Still my favorite Tahoe. Super clean
Man I just love this truck!!! Everything about it
This man has made a business an a show an another show from this truck alone..that thing is a monster bestvbang in the game an its a chevy.look at that wall with fuses...geeeeez! An did any 9ne cath that spark during the fast play..?
I need one of those electrical center covers.
dito i will have one of that thats very nice and a seperate for amp section and one with list of specs and owner
He needs a clear hood .........boom
Awesome job Steve. I love your videos and work.
Love the attention to detail.. nice work Steve!
I love every part of the build!!!!!! Some day I’ll do something crazy like it.
Still holding that title of the baddest, cleanest Tahoe out there!! Good shit my man
thanks Bike!
The OG said " alil overkill " at the start, I think being overkill with safety is better than nothing. Your work looks amazing, just mindfcukd at all the cabling etc involved in this backspace 🤘🏼1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣
The way u fix everything ..nice n clean...
Excellent build. Need high Amp alt for my 61 corvair
11 YEARS ALREADY!!!
Your fuel gauge is on Enjoyment
i actually had to drive to the gas station in my Sprinter and fill up 2 of my plastic tanks i use for my RZR to bring back some gallons. I got her 10 of the good stuff haha.
