30,000 Watts + Eight 18" Subs + One Escalade = Insanity

From the man that brought you the "That's a LOT of Bass. Hey, where's my eyeball?!" video and "Window Shaker Bass Maker" video, is the next evolution in absolutely insane sound systems... That's right, Steve Meade is back and this time he's upping the ante to 30,000 watts RMS. The victim is a 2002 Caddy Escalade dumped on bags and sitting on 24" chrome. Steve and crew have stuffed it to the edges with a slew of audio gear, including eight 18" Fi BTL subwoofers, 36 speakers, 5 batteries, and piece de resistance two, yes two, Rockford Fosgate T15Kw amplifiers that belt out 15,000 watts RMS each. DAMN. These amps retail for $24,999 each and are like nothing you've ever seen in the world of car audio. Steve has a ton of photos over at his forum of the complete build. Follow the jump for a video walk-through of this insane system, more photos, and system info.

Hats Off To "YOU" Steve!!!... Man, fuck the 8-18's, and the two BigAss Rockford T15k amps, the whole install alone is a "FrEAk-of nature". I've visited yuh site, and thought I was just gonna see the-same-'ol-shit, but you made me a fool. I can't even feel my damn pointer finger, as I type this, to be honest. Man, I see you're not affraid wires. From installing the system, to hooking up the airride and leveling kit, to the 10" touchscreen computer, you were "Flawless". Even when I thought you were done on certain things, you added creativity and perfection to the mix. The wires just kept appearing. It must have taken mounths to just plain everything out. You really set the bar for me, and alot of other guys out there. Dude, you must do alot of that type of work for a living. What don't you know, or what don't you do, whan it comes to trickin' out a ride? I've never seen amps as big as those, or here of such power for a suv. $25,000/ch. "Oh FUCK NO"!!! So, I'm thinking that Escalade is now half the price of my house($150,000). Anyway Steve, I mostly like the fact that you took the time to snap pics of just about everthing that took place, including specs. and deliveries... Hats off to you and you're little partner..... Hit me on Cardomain.com. Search:kswiss26... Tell me about my bullshit. Oh it's nothing like your's, but check it please! Later!...
