i go live daily on my instagram channel...join me for a live stream from the shop! follow me at instagram.com/meade916 Oh and from NOW ON, the FIRST PERSON to show up and post a comment on my (future) youtube videos will get a 20 dollar bill paypal'd to their account! You guys always call out the "loser" for saying "FIRST" but i will make sure they are WINNERS. I love my early birds! 320p crew for life! LOL! Hit that notification button so you don't miss your chance!
Well, if I ever decide to try get a first I'd like you to donate the 20 to a local charity of your own choice. And being a noob, I not long ago dug out my first amp I bought (28 yrs ago) and set up a sub and components in my living room. Any suggestions on the best way to power car audio in home? I'm currently just using two PC Psu's and I have a 2 channel Nikkai eapa 250 running a Spl10.1 and a Juice JA794 4 channel running 2 sets of Fli FU 5 components which I will be making cabinets for.
Incorporeal get yourself a deep cycle battery, then search google for “RV converter” and you will see plenty of options of both new and used. For under $200 you will be able to get a nice, new, good sized unit. Hook it up to the battery as close as possible if possible and run everything from there. NOTE, make sure deep cycle is maintenance free sealed like an Optima. Otherwise choose a SLA battery (sealed lead acid) even a 12V35AH will work good, they cost around $70 shipped give or take
I learned something new with the "at box-tuned frequency, your woofers move the least while making the most sound." Thanks for the knowledge drop, Steve.
For anyone searching for the router bit used to enlarge the hole, It is a duel bearing trim or pattern bit (get the size to fit your router) and then the bearing on the end is changed to one size smaller to provide a cut. So if the bit comes with duel 1/2" bearings you change the one on the end to 3/8" and now you have the bit that will cut away 1/16" each pass. Just buy the bit and a router bearing assortment kit. Hope this helps.
Awesome col'lab! Meade vs. Gately! LOL.... I personally learned a LOT from this vid. Thanks guys. I only hear (pun) good thing's about Gately boxes. They look tough as nails and that signature finish goes with just about anything. Thanks for putting in the work for our entertainment guys!.....Justin
I really like how you stated that subwoofers have less excursion at the tuning frequency of the enclosure that they are in! A lot of new guys don't know about this, and don't know that this is normal behavior. I actually have an old sine wave generator made by a company called Forward Innovations. (no longer in business) I purchased the device back in 1991, and had it shipped from California! Since then, I took the device to school and put it on an O-scope, and calibrated the knob, so that whatever frequency I select, it would indicate it accurately. I have been using this device since 2002 to determine vented enclosure tuning. I am hoping to order up some more modern tools from you though. I already have the DD1, and it has proven to be a VERY GOOD device to have!
That was definitely awesome! Bobby definitely has skills with a jigsaw and his tuning and box building abilities as well as you do Steve. I've been a subscriber for a long, long time. One of the best videos you did was when your bass knocked that girls glass eye out! I still watch that one every now and then. Keep up the good work man! Tuned in for the next video!
2 legends in the same building this is history just like the vid of You and JP @ stevemeade I cannot wait to see all of y’all together at a competition mane my life will be made great vid another one in the books
Oh snaps we got BG in the house. Looks like yall had fun making this video. Always cool watching OG bassheads doing their thing! I was wishing I had one when I was finishing up my build. That SMD Sunflash though!!!! :) :) :) :)
I've tried that before: I suck at it. However, I was able to get the driver to seal to it, so as long as no one takes it apart, I won't be embarrassed. It sounds OK.
Great video Steve!!!👍👍👍 JAYBIRD is going to love this box once it's all set up in his car!!! I believe it's going to sound awesome and be bumping pretty damn hard for two little 10" woofer's!!! Can't wait to see them be put into his car!!! 👌👌👌
The lesson of the day about being at your tuning frequency is indeed awesome my subs nearly move and they put out a lot..of course when pushed harder they move more..they sound like thunder.. unbelievable how loud they are and barely moving they're turned to 20/25 Hertz I must admit though those subs moving in and out like that does look badass ..but I'm totally happy
That jig saw work was A1 that wasn't easy and that is a well trained hand, I believe most of anyone can make that sub fit but with that effortless motion is nowhere near as ez as it looks I have over 15 years experience as a carpenter and that was expertly done gately knows what he is doing
Where were you at Bobby Gatley 25 + years ago when I was tinkering with my stereo equipment looking for that perfect subwoofer box?! 🔊🔊 Family man now lol 🤦♂️
This video came at the best time. I am looking to get 2 level 2 12s and I wasn't sure what about a box cause I don't have the free time rn. This definitely has made my mind up
This video was so helpful and it was a pleasure seeing Mr Gately at work. Great video steve !! I just retired my kicker solor 12l5 and went with DC audio level 3 12 inch subs. Still breaking them I'm they sound amazing
I’ve been in that predicament before when I had to trim a little off with a jigsaw and it isn’t the easiest thing, especially when the size is as small as he had to work with. To see him take that excess of in one piece was pretty impressive.
Thats cool, i didn’t know that about the woofers should be barley moving on a proper tuned box. You should definitely make more videos like this. Explaining how everything should work. The right way. Would definitely help me in the long run. and every other noob! I just recently bought a Rockford fosgate 2500bdcp and some Sundown Xs, haven’t installed the Xs yet, currently waiting on the guy to hurry up my box, but I might have to order one from Gatley audio. Keep up the great videos!
Man you did a great choice in picking up some X's, I'm running 2 15's right now and they move air like nothing I've seen before and hit the lows amazingly well and loud
Subwoofers DO move in a ported box, but movement is minimal at AND around the TUNING FREQUENCY. I posted a video of my JL Audio 12w7's getting over 1,000 watts each from a CT Sounds 4K, and some schmuck said I need a bigger amp, and that they were barely moving. I wasn't mad, that statement just told me that he raised his hand and said, "hi, I am a noob".
The 2500 is an absolute BEAST! Very good choice there! I am loving my 1500bdcp. It is the first amp I have owned that made me tap out of my own system - the damn thing would NOT overheat and shut down!
Hell yeah they look awesome now and he wasn't bsn it was tuned like he said it was... I jst can see jbird now bobbing his head he's going to love it can't wait for the video for his car and the biggest one is the 24 thts the one I'm waiting for yeah!!!
Can Steve or Bobby tell me what the router bit is called that is being used in the video I'm a router Nubie need to do this to my for my box from 9.25" to 10" to accommodate my new Sundown X10v2D2's PFA TIA
I think you need to make terminals for Gately's boxes in the insect part of the box's he makes. Would look sick with those killer box's and your terminals that are unrivalled in use and looks.
I love the look of the dc audio subs and look like they slam. You think 4- 8s would be louder deeper bass then 2 dc audio level 4 10s? Since the 10s require 1cu i can definitely put either 2 level 4 10s or 4 8s jus dont knkw which set up would hit the hardest and get the deepest
For the Bass Head on a budget, a little bit of elbow grease and some sand paper will get the job done. Or that steel bar sander thing (forgot what they are called. You can pick up a used one at the swapmeet for a dollar).
@Mykel Hardin some subs are oversized. And maybe all the budgeting went into a box and subs but didnt plan on them not fitting. Or maybe the advertised dimensions were not accurate and now they are stuck in that situation. Shit happens, and this is good advise for those who dont have the specialty tools but have the will power
Have you watched his box build videos? The time, effort, and tuning is what you're paying for. Skill is his middle name. You get what you pay for. Can't get a benz for kia prices.
Dude my soundstream t5-10 didn't fit in my box etheir ... I just use a drill bit and a drill 😂 hole look ugly as sinn but there in and i haven't looked back lol .
You should have a link to get those exact subs And the exact box with the cutout already done for those subs. I would love to have the same exact set up. Got the wires just been looking for a new sub box that can handle good power like that one.
Order one. I ordered an underseat box for my 2019 silverado from gately audio. I emailed gately and the man himself replied every time. Even called me to give me updates and im in lil ol' midland tx
It makes sense, owing to the rapid increase in impedance, suggesting less acoustic loading on the voice coil. At much higher frequencies, there just isn't time for the cone to move very far, before the signal reverses its direction. The velocity would still there, just not the time constant.

Graced with the Box God to mod his box. This is legendary with the 2 of you.

Interesting about the tuning frequency vs excursion. Glad to learn.
Damn I would love to have a box like that, basic but looks so amazing and know it would beat hard .
Hell ya buddy, Gately is the man! I can only hope to some day afford a box built by him
That was definitely awesome! Bobby definitely has skills with a jigsaw and his tuning and box building abilities as well as you do Steve. I've been a subscriber for a long, long time.

I would have a blast playing with you guys. You both are awesome. The knowledge between the two of you is priceless.
Those DC’s were flexin! Gately a wizard with that jigsaw lol that isn’t an easy task to freehand an already cut mounting hole.
I've tried that before: I suck at it. However, I was able to get the driver to seal to it, so as long as no one takes it apart, I won't be embarrassed. It sounds OK.
I've never messed with that switch on the jigsaw either 😂 that makes sense, now that explains why I've had bad experiences with jigsaws before
I love learning new shit. 💯
I love DC 8m3's and DC 10's!! Beautiful~~
don't forget to check out the first video that led up to us doing this video.... th-cam.com/video/yrxJ5mupZcY/w-d-xo.html

Love the quality of both of you guys work. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
We are beyond lucky to have these two legends right here in Sacramento!
Didn't see smoke that's good. Keep the videos coming STEVE
Yeah, unlike Rockville, LMAO!

I would rock your "Scrap" SMD products any day in my Car
Where were you at Bobby Gatley 25 + years ago when I was tinkering with my stereo equipment looking for that perfect subwoofer box?! 🔊🔊 Family man now lol 🤦♂️
its cuz of this video I bought two dc level 2 10"s, i've alwyas been a 12" guy plus.... but man this was a good video thanks man
Lol I thought you was joking Steve until you went to your jig saw draw lol
Great tutorial I learned a lot, I’ve got to try that thing with the sharpie, good stuff.
I might not comment all the time but just know I'm watching
“Shit, it’s got my name on it...” Lololol
Gately makes incredible sounding boxes!
This video came at the best time. I am looking to get 2 level 2 12s and I wasn't sure what about a box cause I don't have the free time rn. This definitely has made my mind up

So much for being the director... Lol starting to love this page or whatever this is?? Lmao @Meade 916

Yeah I actually have some SA running right now. Sound loud and low, but not what I’m looking for. I’ll post a video of everything once it’s finished
you finally finishing the jay bird system i love the vid you made getting him the deck and u said there will be more and you never disappoint
can't wait to order one of his boxes but first i need to figure out what sub's i want lol! thinking of vibe or pride can't make my mid up
Mr bobby done went and grew a beard on us
I want those instrumental tracks 😂 no lie I would ride around bumpin that shit.
My favorite guys!!!!! Meade and Gately for the win.
That heat Gunn sounds like it’s about to sling a rod it’s been a good one
Hell yeah they look awesome now and he wasn't bsn it was tuned like he said it was... I jst can see jbird now bobbing his head he's going to love it can't wait for the video for his car and the biggest one is the 24 thts the one I'm waiting for yeah!!!
Great work, loaded horn designs are the best for a reason
I just had to stop and say wow had no idea what that little lever was on the side of my jig saw. Awesome lol
Great
Keep up the good work bro 👍
Love watching the masters at work 😎👍🔊🔊
Sat with sand paper all night with a pre fab to make a sub fit
gran trabajo y muy buena colaboración . increíble sonido !!
Lol I was counting the minutes for you to release this lol. sweet
thanks for watching! :)
How lucky are we to have you both local lol. Sac stays killing the car audio game!
love it very cool great box Steve
Flawda in da house
Steve "could probly do it in 2 seconds"Meade😜
When will the SMD IM-SG be available? It’s out of stock everywhere.
Thank you for the lesson . Knowledge I did not know.
Damn that box is great quality.
What's the name of the bit that's in the router? My box came the same way with holes too small and I'd rather take my time and use the router.
That foo just drew a solid circle with his bare eye... holy shit
Legendary
I think Steve deserve to have at least 1M subs he works so hard showing his build and also new items that he designs too all made in the USA! 😊
I have the same box in my LOHOE with a pair of IDMAXX 12s in it.
Can Steve or Bobby tell me what the router bit is called that is being used in the video I'm a router Nubie need to do this to my for my box from 9.25" to 10" to accommodate my new Sundown X10v2D2's PFA TIA
Bobby, they don't fit.
-yeah that's norm...
What are you gonna do about it?
😂😂
Make it fit Bobby. Get to it sir.
Good video. For a cap "Lexus" a separate Respect!
Damnit Bobby!
Love collabs vids... just seen EXO collab with Big Dwhiz.. steve meade with B.Gate.. demolition ranch with Hicock45... love collabs
Love to see Bob.
Good work 🤘🤘

Got me a fancy Ridgid brushless with BT 6ah that baby even on a 1.5ah cuts smoother than if i SANDED it
I need a link to these fresh intro and outro beats!
Flexing 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I enjoyed watching a genius at work. Great skills..
Nice I learn new things 👍

Sergio Aleman Oh I finally got a customer right now
Nice bro 😎👌
Man that's an old school carpenter trick
I love all the stuff u got steve 😍
Can I know why u aren't the one who designed and built the box ??
Bobby G AKA "THE BOX GOD"
Was that the tahoe! She is the one that started it all for me. Fi
just had to do the same thing cut the hole out a little for my mofo 15 put it in a sealed box to fit it in my civic
My jig saws only have two settings on and off.
I would have liked to have seen if the cone excursion would have INCREASED, if brought slightly ABOVE ported frequency.
it did.
It makes sense, owing to the rapid increase in impedance, suggesting less acoustic loading on the voice coil. At much higher frequencies, there just isn't time for the cone to move very far, before the signal reverses its direction. The velocity would still there, just not the time constant.
Meade916 Could you tell me what kind of wood do you use to make those drawers?
Bobby makes a box this same size for 1 12. Any advantages to going with 2 10’s? How much of a difference would it be?
It's a long shot but have you ever put a sub on a moped trying to get some ideas
