you are the best at what you do.. i love watching your videos.. every time I get on the computer i gotta go see if you put up a new video.. everyone of them 5 stars Bro
right on man! ya for little stuff where it needs to set right away, the CA glue is the way to go and at "a dab-at-a-time" that bottle lasts a while and has MANY other uses around the house besides car audio. I cant count how many things i have fixed in a pinch because its so damn fast with the activator.
door panels are mostly IB and they shouldnt play off eachother too bad....but i will probably use a foam "pod" like in the other ride i did to help keep the back wave of the 8 off the others. It shouldnt be too bad though.
Seems like you are the only one on youtube that shows great detail you have answered a lot of "how the fuck they do that questions" in your vids thanks Steve looking forward tO the next vid
there wont be any bass in them until i fiberglass them, sand them, and upholster the panels. The glue only holds them in place until i get the 'glassing done.
no prob bro and thank you too! I learned to do the tabs after i almost cut my finger off holding the router upside down and carving the ring out last year....i have a chunk out of my middle finger but its still there! :)
i use Titebond II Glue on actual boxes - for misc stuff like what your seeing, i use CA glue. The bottle is 8oz so its quite a bit really, especially if you consider that a 1oz bottle at the hobby shop, which isnt even as good, is 10 bucks. For box building though man, stick with a good wood glue.
I know alot of door set ups are IB, I just thought since you were using an 8" sub instead of a mid, there would be a difference. Like if the F3 wasn't low enough to be an IB speaker. Those foam pods are a good idea, i've seen them before but was kinda skeptical about how well they worked. If they're closed cell im sure they'll be fine
great how-to videos Meade. one day can you do a video on how to put a speaker in a panel that never had a speaker? for example the interior quarter panel plastic where the rear seats are. thanks in advance...
Are you gonna be building a sealed pod for the 8"s or are you gonna leave them IB. Do you think it'll sound alright if they're all common chamber w/ the other mids? Works clean as usual man.
it absolutley will. If you weren't running 3 mids in each door plus the 8 you could absolutely port them. Lexus did it in the SC300's i think w/ the premium audio system. They made little ported enclosures for their 6.5's For what it's worth, porting a mid-enclosure in my mind just really wouldn't be worth it. especially w/ the rest of the mid you have to back it up plus your sub stage
whats the name of that glue ive seen it before i cant remember the name anyone know ?? but any way kick ass as allways steve cant wait to see the glassin !!
How much did you pay for those door panels? I want to do something like this to my Impala, but I would never want to do it to my door panels I have on now, knowing it probably will never look worth a fuck! haha
OH MY SWEET JESUS I WISH I WAS IN CALI OR YOU CAME TO HOUSTON I NEED EXACTLY THIS KIND OF HELP ON MY 08 JEEP LARADO I WANT TO PUT IN 4 10'S AS MY DOOR SPEAKERS AND 2-4 TWEETERS WILL IT WORK
jesus, that glue is 44 dollars, and the activator is 24 dollars, is that alot of glue in there steve? is that the glue you use for your boxes? im building a box right now, was just looking through the forum trying to figure out what kind of glue you use for your boxes
I have to say ive never seen anyone in my lifetime that can build a system like steve meade, he's the best 10 stars!!
First time I've ever come across an old video with this it's cool to see where he's at now and all the equipment he has

Such great way to make sure it will fit by puting the biggest speake in its place.. thanks for the idea!!
5 stars man....this build has me comin to my computer 3 times a day for updates!!!!
door panels are mostly IB and they shouldnt play off eachother too bad....but i will probably use a foam "pod" like in the other ride i did to help keep the back wave of the 8 off the others. It shouldnt be too bad though.
thats ganna be so sweet, i cant wait to see it finished, keep up the hard work!!
Seems like you are the only one on youtube that shows great detail you have answered a lot of "how the fuck they do that questions" in your vids thanks Steve looking forward tO the next vid
the rebuild is soo exiting and i cant wait till you start glassin
@chepevargas yup yup, thanks!
there wont be any bass in them until i fiberglass them, sand them, and upholster the panels. The glue only holds them in place until i get the 'glassing done.
yea i agree steve put in alot of work. cant wait to see it in action
no prob bro and thank you too! I learned to do the tabs after i almost cut my finger off holding the router upside down and carving the ring out last year....i have a chunk out of my middle finger but its still there! :)
all ur dedication will soon pay off
yes......but i have been pondering making a fiberglass pod for the 8....but only if i can do that and still get the panel off. I think i can.
Pre shop days lol. Man you came a long way. I been following you since Realm of Excursion when you had the xxx's.

pce
U looking young in this one big homie.
that glue is strong as shit dude sick job bro
I love the smell of fresh cut plastic in the morning!
cant wait to see the fiberglass work

Loving these vids Steve. Lots of good how'd he do dat details in this work. Makes me wanna get some more power tools. And glue something.
This shit is BOSS, man! - It's gunna sound as good as it looks! 5*'s for 2:30 -
i still come back 2 see ur old vids.
@ObedGlez Fast set CA (Cyanoacrylate) glue is what that is. The gel goes on to the work, and the spray (accelerator) activates it.
once its all said and done, if i have room to make i SOLID pod for the 8, i will....it will sound better. I wish i had the room to port it :D
great how-to videos Meade. one day can you do a video on how to put a speaker in a panel that never had a speaker? for example the interior quarter panel plastic where the rear seats are.
thanks in advance...
man your work awesome, the shit is gonna be killer when you glass everything up
How about them Saints, Steve ;).
Great looking work man, very impressive.
How times have changed🤘🏾
Are you gonna be building a sealed pod for the 8"s or are you gonna leave them IB. Do you think it'll sound alright if they're all common chamber w/ the other mids?
Works clean as usual man.
Yep,I learn somthing new everyday !! Thanks
@dbosakamojo thank you for sayin so....if i didnt already tell you :)
it absolutley will. If you weren't running 3 mids in each door plus the 8 you could absolutely port them. Lexus did it in the SC300's i think w/ the premium audio system. They made little ported enclosures for their 6.5's

thanks bro!!
Cant wait to see it done!!!
no ear protection with the router? any way your doors look sweet!
oh ya i forgot, u gunna use those speaker boot things like u did in the hoopty to isolate the 8 from the 6&1/2's or the 6&1/2's from the 8?
sweet, i got some tight bond 2 last night, thats what im going to use then.
thats awesome!...i wish i had the skills to do all that stuff...hopefully i will someday
i did bro there was some plugs stuffed into my ears this time.....that router is no joke -
they look good
look at his videos. they are sick hes got like 4 18s. 20k watts. hits like hella hard.
Super clean!
ears are fine.
NO doubt bro no doubt...LOL
looking good...
whats the name of that glue ive seen it before i cant remember the name anyone know ?? but any way kick ass as allways steve cant wait to see the glassin !!
so are you going to fiberglass the whole door panel? or just the parts that got chopped up?
You sir have a lot of patience! Quality work anyday though. Now don't flame me too bad on this, but are you using 1" MDF on these panels?
just one question? why are you switching to the RFs and not stayin with the XXXs?
thats a great job but where did you get the fleece
WOW Looks realy COOL
very compliment!!you are a big!!have a nice life!!!
Thanks for the video man Nice work
what r you spraying on the glue to make it dry faster????is that brake clean?
steve i think it is time for a bigger house brotha.. maybe a three car garage..
does that glue really hold them together well? even with the bass?
How much did you pay for those door panels?
I want to do something like this to my Impala, but I would never want to do it to my door panels I have on now, knowing it probably will never look worth a fuck! haha
its activator, same activator most likely used for CA Glue.
sick doors
Where can I find those circles precut ?
Nicely done
were did u go to school to learn this

jesus, that glue is 44 dollars, and the activator is 24 dollars, is that alot of glue in there steve? is that the glue you use for your boxes? im building a box right now, was just looking through the forum trying to figure out what kind of glue you use for your boxes
