My youngest son is now driving! Of course, the easiest car on the planet to learn how to drive is an older Honda, especially the 1990 four door! We are not going to do anything too crazy until he gets a better car. Right now, he is just starting out. Every MAN needs his first system... After a few solid days of working, we finally got it done. I left room for upgrades later but honestly, he will probably be getting a better car soon before that happens. This was fun but a lot of work! Thanks for watching!

no, it isn't winning any SPL awards. No it isn't breaking the windshield any time soon with bass. But it surprisingly sounds damn good! WAYYYY better than my first system ever did! Also, Yes, it was overkill on the 1/0. I think 4ga was too small for the job and i have no 2ga. So 1/0 it is. Don't hate me for doing it as solid as i know how no matter what the car! This was a LOT of work for such a small little system but in order to do it right sometimes you have to just take the time and do it right. I could have rigged this thing up and been on the road in half a day...but you guys know i don't do that often. Thanks for watching!

If the engine ever starts running weird, save yourself some time and check under the valve cover. There is a ground inside that likes to break on those models and will give you fits trying to figure it out. I speak from experience on that one brother. Spent 2k on a mechanic after weeks of running crazy for it to be that little wire under there. Just a heads up and just incase. Got to keep the young man rolling. Love your stuff.
@@joeymerrell8585 the ground was 8ga at best. Now it is 1/0. I don't think grounding is a problem any more. But thanks man! :)
Man shit, awesome little system, great sq, and as you said, not the loudest. But not bad at all! And in terms of the wire, honestly it's better too thick then too thin, so I'm glad you did that tbh. Anyways, love this little system, and hope you have a great day man!
@@meade916 I'm talking about a tiny ground wire that is actually inside the valve cover, and gets covered in oil. But with all the grounding upgrade, hopefully if it did break the rest can compensate for it.
What was your first system? That woukd be a cool video if you could find all the stuff you had and set it up as a trip back in time.
i know it's a LONG video but it was also a lot of work to finish the system with one hand while teaching my son at the same time...and to come home and edit for 7-8 hours straight is no easy day. Hit like if you watched the entire video start to finish! Post up where you are from i wanna know! thanks for watching it all if you did!
meade916 great work man what size speaker wire are you running
@@jaime13huerta 16ga to the mids/highs and 12ga to the subs.
Franklin,NC. And if I'm not mistaken I have watched every video published this year and I'm working on watching all the earlier ones too.
Ponca City, OK
Woodstock, ON, Canada. Clean install as usual!
Nothing like seeing a father and son bond over a mutual love for something. Not only are they bonding, he’s teaching his son a trade which can give him a great future when he’s older. Need more parents like this in the world.
You know what appreciate the most. That it may not be the best car in the world. Has dents but they still keep it as clean as possible. Says alot to me and much respect for that. Its not always about how much you have but how you care for what you have.
I'm only 17, and me watching you and you're son work together puts a smile on my face. Reminds me of me and my dad. Keep it up guys!!
One day I'll bond with my kids through car builds. Much respect.
What a bad ass father. Back in the day My dad helped me with my first sub intall in my astro van, he was in his 50s and knew nothing about car stereo but he's an engineer so we winged it. we made a box for two old-school MTX 12's out of the worst plywood you could ever use, 1/2 cdx. after a container of expanding foam on the edges we got the rattles out. took me a week to get the amp to turn on because I didn't know what a turn on wire was LOL. all in all it was about the bonding experience and learning a lot along the way. in the end I learned to make my next box out of MDF LOL
use 3/4” birch, like poplar or something, it’s 30 percent stronger and lighter and your box won’t disintegrate on you in a few years
You the man Steve, not only a successful business owner but a great father to your boys. Much Respect to you. 👌🏽🇬🇺
Brings back memories of my first of many systems in my 1985 accord. Probably the loudest hooptie in socal at the time (mid 90's). Car stolen twice just to gut the system out and leave the car in a ditch. Finally upgraded to a 94 accord with an 3x12" blow-through bandpass and it too was stolen, gutted and abandoned, this time beyond repair. Finally gave up on trying to out-bass everyone and moved onto other hobbies. California theives are savage, hope your son isn't as much of a showoff as I was and keeps his ride safe.
Man, I'm so proud of you and what you've accomplished over these years!! I been rocking you for years and knew you'd make it. Shop looks great, your quality of work is astounding....and you're still a humble family man and father. You deserve all the recognition you get, Sir
#SMDGang
That hole on the firewall is there for the clutch master cylinder on the manual transmission versions of that car
Thanks for the info because I never noticed that on my 93 CB7 and its auto as well
You took the words right out of my mouth. When he showed that blanking plate I knew exactly what it was.
@@Brock_Landers im a Honda head too bro
that dog sure does love you...glad you rescued him and gave him an awesome home and some BASS!!!!!!!
THAT'S BASS DOG
I'm convinced your dog knows more about car audio than me lol
Something relaxing about watching you and your boy install a car audio, cool your passing your knowledge onto him. Plus the song selection in the shop is always prime, so that makes the videos even more enjoyable!
kids with parents who are into cars in any way are hella fortunate!
Father and Son install probably one of the greatest TH-cam videos that I've seen in a long time with all the negativity in the news and on the internet this is great to see thank you sir
Just in the wiring alone you guys could teach the places around here a thing or two.. kudos!! Very professional install!!
Third time watching. I love how clean the runs are damn. Its awesome seeing how far you've came shop wise coming from no shop and still building great shit to this shop. You've always had the skill now you have all the tools killing the game!
Watching you and your son working on his first car together makes me nostalgic. Reminds me of all the time I spent with my pops working on my first car back in the 90's. He'll never forget those moments you guys shared together.
He’s got a good teacher for his first build. Clean AF
18:25 his son burn his finger 😂 but really nice job like always
"We're gonna set the gains properly, and this is gonna be a wr*bark*p" hahahaha
The father/son build is a nice change of pace from the big extravagant systems that are far more expensive than some people can afford, showing that you dont need multiple thousands of dollars to have a good sounding system. Plus you are spending quality time with your son which is a bonus
we've been collecting stereo parts for my kids corolla. it will be good times doing the install with him. i am proud of him. he saved up and bought his car before he has his license. he could have spent it on weed and video games but he got his car first. and now we have a decent system to install when he gets his license.
Happy New Years Fellas!!!
That spot is where the clutch master cylinder would go if it was a manual transmission.
Nice you take time as a Father to be close and teach your son on something you both have a passion for! Well done, Sir. That will serve him well. Sometimes less is more when it comes to good sound. Enjoyed watching all aspects of the build.
It is great to see a father and son project. The world needs more dads that can spend time with their kids and teach them useful skills too. Great video!
Man 8's have come so far in recent years, bumpin shit like they're 12's. Mad respect for shit like that.
People tend to think that 8" subs can't do much, the beauty of them is that they need relatively small boxes, so you can install a bunch of them. In my 1993 Toyota Carina E that had I had before I had 4 8" Hertz subwoofers in a box with 4 separate ported chambers powered by a Hertz EP 1D amp. That thing wasn't impressive by SMD standards, but it certainly was plenty loud enough for me and a fresh variation from the "cookiecutter" 2x10" or 2x12" systems that are so popular around here.
2 8" will move if there properly ported ect especially now mine are old Boston rated at 200watt each there good enough for me rn ran mono but if i hunt down better subs and a matching amp it'll be on lol but sadly my hatchbacks hatch will get a rattle
My system I did in my first car was so bad. Hahaha. It's nice to see you guys doing this together. Good on ya Sir!
I love that your son is involved like he is. Great to see you both have a mutual love for the hobby. Making beats and memories. Clean install. Thanks for sharing.
thanks Kris!
I was laying in bed watching this father and son build. Motivated my lazy ass to go back to my shop and work on a small electronic project with my boy. Keep up the good work!
That's cool for what you did for your son Steve very cool
Way to go a real man shares his knowledge and guides his successors I like this channel and workmanship...try the new Milwaukee cordless crimper
The father son projects are the best i love doing projects with all my kids and i remember the first thing i did with my dad awesome video man 👍👍
Hell yeah brother helping out people who need a hand. DAMN NICE OF YOU
Great son and a great father! Love your channel man!
Steve your channel inspires me to the most high! I have all older cars and the techniques you use go well with every build I do whether its in my own car or someone that's wanting there first car audio system. Keep up the good vibes and don't let the trolls take you out of your element #32GANG🤘 from NC,Gboro
thanks Brandon bro, i appreciate the comment.
The reason that spot on the fire wall was so perfect was because its where the clutch master cylinder goes on the manual cars. Always an A+ spot if its available, but the best is the cars that didnt come with AC, and they have the same style plate/grommet covering the holes but on the passenger side of the vehicle.
Old Honda's are perfect projects for sound.. I love em
Love it man you have inspired me to put a little more work in to my own project looks great.
Glad to hear! Thank you for watching!! :)
I think a lot of dudes are hating because it’s such a clean system
Proud dad seeing his son enjoy the same thing! Great job on the car to the both of you guys!
Finally finished watching the video. Them it’s the best sounding and looking system I seeing on a 90 accord. 👌
Great video love watching these projects 👍
A total of 58 dislike haters on here. Clean install. That face that someone gets when they get good bass in there ride.
Приятно наблюдать когда отец с сыном работают вместе!!!
It's nice to watch when father and son work together !!!
I listen to these videos while im working or cleaning and kinda glance at it when it sounds like something its like car audio ASMR
It makes me sad to watch this I wish me and my dad could spend time together
Same bud
Some new wheels and project finished
Luis E. Peña It’s a 1990 Honda Accord... why on earth would anybody put aftermarket rims on it 😂
@@GeorgeMasonOliver It’s a 1990 Honda Accord... why on earth would anybody put an powerful aftermarket car audio parts... it's the same logic
Luis E. Peña Because it enhances your sound quality and you can transfer it to whatever car you want
Your a good man helping and teaching your boy about installing equipment correctly .
Great job with your son learning a craft
when the install costs 4x more than the car itself 😆
cost 4x more than your car too. So what is your point?
@@meade916 The point is that he thinks its funny, cause car audio is expensive, especially to people that don't have very much money to throw away.
@meade916 hey Steve what the name of that plastic screw on the power cord you put next to the grommet on the fire wall
Sound system worth more than the car :P
worth more than yours too....and?
@@meade916 Hahaha you got your priorities right! Too expensive for me then, guess i'll get it somewhere else ;)
@@raybbo you ain't gonna get a decent system cheaper than what we have here. Might get some flea market shit and double up by installing it yourself (not knowing what the hell you are doing) and save some money. But this system is one cheap pioneer head unit, a small 4 channel and 2 8" subs. Couple of entry level mids/highs. If that is too expensive for you, than car audio ain't your thing. Face it.
Great first system! And lookadat.... those smiles! Handling it. AWESOME!
Damn I love these projects. Keep it up.
slap this shit in your ride! I'm tellin ya the entire album GO'S!!! th-cam.com/video/G9baQ_TbwhI/w-d-xo.html
What's up steve I just purchased a 2001 gmc extended cab with a system in it. it's an older build but it just doesn't sound rite. anyway can you tune it or check it out for me..and let me know what I need to do so it can sound better than what it does much thanks if you can.im in stockton not too far from you.
How much do you charge for doing a big 3 upgrade? and setting gains? Located in Stockton!
Reminds me of how my pops got me into this stuff. Maybe I'll teach my daughter when she gets older.
Not enough fathers doing what you are doing Steve. Thanks for being one of them.
Im a fan of bass at the age of 15 I have 4 15's in the trunk of my truck ran of a 1000 Watt amp
@@HammsterMusic well it was kinda a gift from my dad it's in his truck but i use it daily he don't
@@JamarvusThornton thats cool, just dont become an asshole. from my high school experience most kids who got a big nice truck from their parents became cunts and most of them crashed the truck within 3 years
I get anxiety from the wire terminals in the back, the + and - is too close
true, you can accidentally twist one of the cables and cook the car, that is what the fuse in the front is for
Colorscream yes, It would be better if there’s more space in between them, that way there’s less chance of you replacing the front fuse(s) everytime lol
I was just going trought the comments to see if it was bothering anyone else than me
I love this back to our roots. A car with some boom! Can’t wait to do a system for my kids with them like this. Great build Steve.
That's what is up father and son working on Honda car together just look at his face of joy 31.02 he really happy you a good father 😉👍🏻
32:41 what song is that
what happened to that dip shit's comments from earlier? got smart and deleted it huh? good job loser. Smart move. You know who you are. Nobody else does and never will though.
Those of us with sounds can hear it good Steve that's where you're wrong I love it keep doing the videos
Steve I like that you teaching your son the trade
32:38 what the.......
Dude never knew what hit him xD
I felt it was a waste.
I recently purchased a 1990 Honda Accord EX with 80,000 miles for $1,200.
That system is going to make a person DEAF. definitely not a simple system as dad says. How much was involved price wise? How many many hours involved?
I’ll pass. Too crude for me.
If you think 2 8's and some component speakers will make you go deaf, then you need to get your hearing checked.
Jose I understand this may not be your thing but it’s a hobby and passion for a lot of us so you shouldn’t refer to it as crude . And to be honest this was actually a nice simple clean install. Most new car manufacturers are putting in systems close to this type output as a premium package . No one is going death off this system especially when you control the volume knob . If you ever get a chance to attend a car stereo show and get a demo from some extreme bass Vehicles like Steve’s Tahoe you will realize how much easy this system is to the ear.
Woah, negative Nancy over here yapping away about 8 inch subs and a single component set in the front doors on a single 4 channel amp. No one's going deaf with that
I watched all the vids. Love the father and son build. Nothing but RESPECT this way. Salute!!!
Fire build with your son can’t wait to see more
Poor kid , ( micro managed to the 10 power ) id be like pops ,,,, SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!!
Been watching all your videos im almost there. Great job teaching your son the ropes and to start from the bottom. Respect..
I WISH I HAD EVEN A NICE SMALL SYSTEM BUILD LIKE THAT VERY SWEET BUILD LOVE IT
Attention to detail. I like that. From the waterproof fitting on the firewall, to the 17 min mark where you told him to put the cable straight even tho it ain't gonna be seen. Good shit uce.
Clutch master cylinder location on that firewall block off plate gotta love Honda for that option
What a great father and son build , loved it!
Kick ass install Steve! Great to see a father son build.
Reminds me of my Dad and I. We are doing my 2nd system together this upcoming spring. Can't wait!
Steve: Great starter car and sound system for your son. it also great that he helped in doing some work on the install.
Love father and son projects dad wasn't there for me (not by choice) so when I see stuff like this it makes me smile plus i got a lil one of my own and can't wait for shit like this good work dad
The best installers make best use of what they have, without halfassing. Great job bro.
Good deal bro, and your taught your son something in the process. That's a good look
That father-son time, teacher-student, is the best. Amazing work from you both. ✌
His smile says it all brotha!! 👌👍
Hell yeah sweet little system plus son and dad time talk about a win win 👍💯
Sick setup, I love how you were teaching while he was earning his new setup. GOOD DAD
I got mine set up the same way, with the wiring and the support board in the back, good job, i seen the smile on his face lol. Good to know I've actually learned something from your channel! Similar to everything you did. I gotta 97 honda accord did everything a year ago, and still going strong
Love this video series Steve! Takes me back to the late 90's early 2000's, my dad bought me a pair of Crunch Drive 15's and some Jensen XS10 10's, wasn't great stuff, but had fun with it; in fact I recently busted out the 15's and finally blew them up as the foam was falling off, they can be seen in my last video (foam falling off on one and all, lmao, in a free prefab box I picked up that was falling apart). He wasn't into car audio or loud bass at all, he hated it, but he still helped me out since he knew I was big into it... RIP dad... Steve started his son off with a fun car / setup he can play around with easily, I think it is a great build and can be upgraded down the road. Sounds great in the vid too, very nice!
Prolly the best sounding one I think you’ve done. Not too much base and good quality. Bumps perfect.
I love watching these beginner builds, you always blow me away with the quality of workmanship Steve and I hope to replicate that into my next build update, been too long
Those crimping tools are straight beauty🤩😍
SMD for the W once again!!!
Babe the supervisor making sure you doing good work.He might have a old car but got kick ass stero system.aww bab wants a ride in the car
Father and son best video I have seen in a long time. Keep up the great work you do
Mr. Meade. Helping fathers and sons bond for over 14 years!
That sounds dam good and the mids and highs are crystal clear. Good job to you and your son
Nice work you guys! Dad and son getting it. Love the bass head dog to 🐕🐺
Very clean setup!!! I appreciate that you set your other projects aside to do this father son one. #salute #fatherson
