Well the time has come. Antheny (my son) is finally ready to upgrade his system in his ride. I know he has wanted it from day one but i am always busy and he was always in school during the day. So now that he is graduated high school (great grades BTW) we have more time to do stuff together. He has been helping out a TON at the shop so i decided to help him out with some gear. God dammit my name is Steve Meade who am i not to help my kid get some beat with the resources i have? Anyhow, nothing is free here, it cost me some $ but not too bad considering i am a dealer now. Anyway, we aren't going to go ape shit. We are aiming for a nice clean install with some bump. Over time, if the crazy bass bug hits him, he can upgrade all he wants. I think what we picked out will be a nice, well rounded first system for him...and for anyone if you ask me. Also, we plan on making the box look nice in the back. Nothing to wild. I want HIM to build this and we are going to start out with the basics. I had him open up the book and we are building from recommended specs for this first enclosure. We are going to use 4" Tube ports with a nice round over on them. Anyway, i LOVE showing him how to do stuff and then watching him get it done on his own. He did 99% of what you see in the pics below. I will post updates as we get more progress done. Planned equipment so far: Planned Equipment: (1) Sony CD / Bluetooth H.U. (1) Rockford Fosgate P1000.1 (on Lows) (1) Rockford Fosgate P300.2 (on Highs) (2) Rockford Fosgate P3 12" Subwoofers (1) Set Rockford Fosgate Power T1652-s (1) SMD TM-1 Temperature Monitor / Automatic Fan controller (fan rack cooling) (1) SMD VM-1 Volt Meter (1) SMD OM-1 Output Meter All SMD RCA's The Punch 1000 came in at almost 1500 big ones! DAMN! The 300x2 has a nice birthsheet as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEv7TZPAgZc I created this video because so many customers call/email and want to know what comes in the 40 pound mix box of B Stock Damplifier/Damplifier Pro. The product contains trimmed factory error pieces of both Damplifier and Damplifier Pro, we try to keep it more Pro than regular, the pieces are hand trimmed to remove any unusable pieces and it results in a great discounted box for dampers on a budget. The B Stock does contain pieces that may have wrinkles, uneven edges, and/or +/- 25% butyl rubber thickness but are still made from the same high quality 100% American made butyl rubber and 6.5 mil foil as the A Stock Damplifiers. B Stock products are not always in stock as they only are available upon factory errors, but they do come back in stock in burst throughout the year so always check back if they are out of stock when you first check. The 40 pound B Stock box can be found and purchased here at: http://store.secondskinaudio.com/damplifier-damplifier-pro…/ In this project I used about 15 pounds of the 40 pounds of B Stock. I only did single layer coverage as I do not have a loud bass system or loud exhaust in this vehicle. The 40 pound Box can cover between 60-90 sqft enough to the average sized car floor, doors, and trunk area. Second Skin For The Win!!!!

A little video of the install process here. Puts all the work into prospective a little more than the pics can.

Seems like a great kid and he's doing awesome work. So when's pop's stepping aside and letting the kid take over the empire?

It's a team effort...and it's HIS truck. I taught him how to solder years ago. Ain't no better time to put what he learned in action then now. With 24 wires on this plug that means 48 splice points and 48 heat shrink tubes. If any of you do this, i HIGHLY recommend you don't cut the thing off and attempt to re-attach. Do it one wire at a time. There are SEVERAL wires that are the same as each other. Like 4 reds, 3 greens, 2 with red stripe (for example), 4 yellows, a couple whites. You WILL fuck your ride up if you cut them and lose track of what is what. So that being said, he did 1 at a time. I don't have factory colors (i know, weak haha), but i do have what it takes to get the job done. Antheny made me VERY VERY proud. He soldered great and got it done. The HVAC is now in the center console and out of our way (no trim piece made YET). It works great.

Thanks.....Pepper is a very sneaky Ninja Cat

Second Skin FTW!!!! Love the AZ sunset at the end of the video, and the ninja cat cameo. Second skin is definitely going to be my next purchase for my vehicle.
