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.

@meade916 5 лет назад

@@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! :)

@MysteriousSystems 5 лет назад

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!

@joeymerrell8585 5 лет назад

@@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 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

@v12alpine 5 лет назад

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.

@@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.

@createsomethingclever9249 5 лет назад

Oh man, this vid was a pleasant trip down memory lane. The first system I ever built was started in an 87 accord (f*%# carbeurated Hondas!), and then subsequently a 92 accord. Started gathering parts when I was 14, working for my folks. It was nowhere near as nice as this setup, but it brought me so much joy. I started with a pair of 12" Memphis PRs, a soundstorm 1200W (allegedly) amp, Sony head unit and cheap coax full range speakers. I learned so much as a assembled everything and subsequently upgraded most of it. Between watching you and EXOcontralto, I'm gonna have to jump back into the car audio game. On a different note, in one of your other vids I thought I saw a laser cutter in the background. Been looking to upgrade to something with at least a 36x48 work area. What are you using, and do you like it? Any recommendations or models to avoid? Thanks

@hakont.4960 5 лет назад

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.

@toxictophat711 5 лет назад

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.

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.

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!
