A lot of people watch my build video's and other multi-
video projects but more often than not, they start somewhere
in the middle of the build and don't catch all the other
video's that lead up to where they started watching. This
causes people to ask me questions that were answered or
addressed in those previous videos.
I will be picking my FAVORITE builds of all time and
combining the entire series to make one giant video for
each one. This way you can watch it all or skip through
easily to parts you want to see. To everyone who has
watched all the video series i post, THANK YOU!

i know this series is older but i am on a mission to upload some of my favorite builds from over the years, but ALL IN ONE with a small update at the end. These builds take time and usually end up being 10 or more video's in the series. This causes people to not see everything. So a lot go's unseen. People always ask me about things that are actually IN the video. But maybe they came in late and missed it. Or they suggest i do something i have already done. This build here is one of my favorites. My friend Moke wanted me to "set his gains" because he wasn't happy with the install someone did to his car. I took one look at it and decided it was a lot more than just setting gains that needed to be done. Oh my what i would find in the process. Anyhow, the shop has changed drastically since i did this build but this kinda shows you what you can do with little to know special tools. Just practice. Thanks for watching if you did!

That's a 72 Chevelle. What that idiot shop did was nothing short of sacrilege. It survived 50 years before they hacked at it with a Sawzall. Replacement sheet metal doesn't grow on trees and interior parts aren't always available. Wtf. I hope someone leaks the name of that shop, just so they'll never get another customer. Really liking your attn to detail. Not everyone would fiberglass pods for the kick panels, they'd just free-air the speakers. The matching wiring and terminals was a nice touch too. Craftsmanship is a dying art and I'm really glad you are keeping it alive and passing it on to future generations.

@Jasonkartracing Год назад

I was big into doing systems back in the late eighties early nineties my son just turned 16 and I bought two kicker 10s and a cheap crunch 1500 watt amp for 80 bucks from a local guy off Facebook and me and my son built a box to go under the back seat of my 05 Silverado that I gave to him. I used good wires and the wood I used for the box was some wood from my nephew ordering work equipment from Japan. The box I built the 10’s are facing forward and stick out about 4 inches from the back seat. I did a divider in the middle of the box I also did some cheap door speakers and tweeters over the door. In all I have less than 200 bucks in the whole system and it looks and sounds great a lot cleaner than this. It just goes to show you don’t need alot of money to have fun building something with your child.

Still one of the best SMD builds to this day. I love re-watching this series of videos. Turning a botched custom install job into perfection. It does bring a lot of inspiration for builds, and it serves as a good lesson in what to do and what not to do when installing car stereos. Kinda sad that Moke sold the car so soon after. It would have been cool seeing it again someday.
