MEGA BASS EXCURSION - 15" SMD Enclosure Build/Test - Lexus ISF System Install Video 1
See the build pics here: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142076-ubl-lexus-is-f-sound-system-install-box-started-1-smd-15-updated-5912/page__pid__2008509#entry2008509
I decided against the 2 12's in the bandpass box and decided to go with the brutality, yet clean sound of an SMD 15" woofer. It weighs about the same so it was an OK trade off. Of course, i had to give it a test listen before i decided to make the cuts to help get the bass into the cabin.
This will be a LONG build but i will post as many vids as possible during the journey. I plan on making it look clean, with a plexi glass window in back (with an F logo on it) and all trimmed out to match the interior. It should look nice when done and sound even better.
The box will be sealed off from the trunk so there will be NO trunk rattle.

6th Order Compound Loaded Isobaric Bandpass Box - 2 12" Woofers
See the build pics here: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/141676-lexus-is-f-6th-order-isobaric-clamshell-bandpass/
Just some of the ideas i have going through my head for the Lexus install i am getting ready to start. This is a box i used to build back in the early 90's. It is a compound Isobaric (push/pull) 6th order bandpass. The woofers back then used to work good in a box like this. It has been a while since i even thought of something like this so i figured i would try. Since it needs to be built IN to the car, i need to do all of my experimenting outside of the car and see how it sounds. After hearing it, i know I need to do further testing and tuning before i decide to make it permanent. It's a fun box to build but i don't think it is going to work out. I will make my decision tomorrow but more then likely i will be going to "plan B". I figured you guys would like to at least see my attempt. If you ask me, this could be the actual definition of "woofer pr0n" :D They are gettin it on for sure!

I always hear people say "there must be a fan in there to make all that hair move"....well there is no fan, its always BASS doing the hair-movin'. I always wondered what would happen though if i put a fan by my port and turned it on. I couldn't get it to break but it was close.

Lexus LFA High Speed Sweeping Tunnel Pass ISF
More video's of the incredible Lexus LFA from my boy Jay-birds camera (iphone 3gs). He was driving my ISF (following) and got some video of us rolling through the streets of L.A. I also found a clip of me passing him like he is standing still inside of the tunnel. That tunnel was so much fun we did it twice.
How did this all happen? Why was i driving a car like this? One day i got a tweet from Lexus HQ - they invited me down to drive the LFA for 30 minutes, for no reason other then to just come check it out. It turned out to be almost 2 hours. This car is CRAZY...the acceleration and the sound is like no other......V10, Tuned by Yamaha, no Supercharger, no turbo's.....all motor. Check out the other 4 video's i did with this car on the same day. Its amazing!
Thanks to Mr. Ludwig from Lexus for making this all happen!! Also, thanks for lunch and a tour of the grounds!

The 15" Woofer Challenge (RESULTS) - 3 Brands 3 teams, best box wins BIG (VID 2 of 2)
The First SMD 15" Woofer Contest - Best box wins! 6 catagories, 3 teams, 3 different (similar spec) brands. Catagories are:
Loudest
Average Loudest 20-80hz
Look
Speed
Durability
bonus for Trunk
1st worth 15pts, 2nd worth 10pts, and 3rd worth 5. Is your box loud but ugly? You might not win! Is it pretty but shitty (sounding)? It might not win.......is it stout or will it shatter the first night playing it? I will be looking at wiring, structure, cleanliness of boards (lined up), and bracing. The entire back seat all the way to the B-Pillar is available but If they choose to put the box in the trunk, they get a 10 point bonus. Is this contest perfect, NO...is it fun and will i get better as a host? I HOPE SO! Thanks for watching!
The video was running long so i decided to do it in 2 parts. Watch video 1 to understand whats going on!
Before you say, "i recognize some of these guys, they are your friends", there is no secret here that a few of them are indeed my friends. I put the word out on my website and facebook last week and only a couple people showed up. It was partly my fault, it was short notice. I dont like putting my address on the net for too long so short notice seemed to be a good idea. Most the locals know where i am at anyway. I put the word out the following Saturday (the day in the video) and it was the same thing, only a couple showed up. I HAD to call in some friends and said "FUCK IT, you guys want in?" Of course they did. Nobody in the competition is a pro and it was a lot of fun. I shouldnt have to explain myself but i figured i would in case someone tries to call me out. Some jackass did in the last video comments. Anyway, Ask anyone in the competition, it was 100% on the level. Next time, maybe some of the people who flaked out will see im serious when i say BIG prizes. People walked away with over $2000.00 MSRP of gear, cash, and spray foam (LOLZ)
Want to know what the prizes were? watch the video! Its not all about the brand its about the box.....we shall see!
Anyway -
This is my first time doing this so excuse the lack of professionalism in my broadcast. This is a lot of work to put together but it was fun to do! We will be doing this again!

Lexus ISF vs Mustang GT - No Spray Required.
I never do this......and i don't even think i went past 5 grand. Car redlines at 7. I had a redbull in my ballsack and wasn't expecting this.
On my way to work.
Drinking a RedBull.
Changing Station to Howard Stern.
Looks in Mirror.
A Mean looking 'Stang weaving, trying to get with me
says "light turns green, go"
Tosses iphone 4s to Psyph.
Psyph barely starts cam in time.
130lbs of BASS in the trunk.
No NOS required. (bottle wasn't even open)
I did not start this and i don't think im the coolest.
Just had to handle business.
Props to the GT.
HOW TO: Apple ipad or iphone to Car Stereo Amps - Using SMD Distortion Detector DD-1
Visit http://www.wcCarAudio.com *** The SMD Distortion Detector DD-1 - The ULTIMATE gain setting device for car audio amplifiers. Our product detects distortion down to 1%. Why is it better then the traditional Oscilloscope (for gain setting)? Because we are looking for distortion, not [just] clipping. If you used an O-scope to set your gains, chances are you already have experience and know what you are doing. Chances also are, unfortunately, that you set the gain with what you THOUGHT was a clean signal. The signal shown by the O-scope might look great, but is it DISTORTION free?
This video shows how to use the SMD DD-1 to setup your system when using an ipad or iphone. Its a LONG video but very informative if you plan on using dock, headphone jack or Bluetooth to get the music to the sound system.
Please see my previous video's as well as countless others on youtube for more info and different situations.
Order yours today and set your gains like a PRO!!
