I was just minding my own business, barely pushing the gas pedal. Matter of fact, i wasn't pushing it at all. I was coasting down a hill when the Caddy started to lurch on me. After i shad a twinkie, the car went into limp mode and i was barely able to make it home. I thought i would check the tranny fluid but there is no way to do that. No dipstick. THANKS GM. Anyway, it was all bad regardless. I made a few calls and one guy said he could build it up but i would have to tow it to the dealer to get it programmed. I didn't want to do that. I want it all DONE for me! Everything. So i decided to call AAMCO here in town. Instead of turning me away (after explaining the Caddy is TT, 1000 hp, all built and on 28s (and a tremendous amount of weight in stereo equipment), my guy Cary was all ears. Within 5 minutes i knew i called the right guy. So i took it to them and the rest is history. I am all fixed! I know i don't have any video of the actual build. But i wasn't planning on making a video at all. I just wanted it fixed. I got SUCH great customer service i had to post a little something about it. He was VERY attentive and very understanding of my vehicle needs such as keeping me updated constantly and sending me photo's along the way (although vertical and kinda blurry). I didn't really want him test driving it on my 28's as they are super expensive 28" Forgiato's and he didn't mind a bit. I did all the driving, he did all the programming and scanning while i drove. Everything went well. I was not given any sort of discount. I didn't askk, they didn't offer. They just did a great job and i paid for it. I made this video just to show some love. Thanks again Cary, Steve and everyone else at AAMCO Citrus Heights!

As for the sounds:
Make sure you check out my most recent video showing every single thing i have done to this system. It is a 7 hour plus long video but i divided it into chapters you can skip through (see the description). https://youtu.be/DSQmyD61Ak4 It's worth a look because you simply have NO idea how much work this was until you at least look. All the individual video's of this install are also on my channel and easy to find. This 2015 Escalade is also twin turbo, 1000+ HP and you can also find the video's of THAT all over my channel as well. Thanks for watching if you did!

4 D'amore Engineering "A series" Super High End Class A/AB 1500w Amplifiers ((2) 4 channels, (2) 2 channels) doing over 3kw each and backed up by XS Power Titan 8 Lithium 14v Batteries charging at 16.4v pushed by a Mechman 400a alternator. A lithium 12v battery up front for the actual vehicle which get's it's juice via a custom voltage step-down box i made (see previous video's). B2 Audio 3 ways (2 set's in each door) on the highs in custom made door pods and 6 B2 Audio 12" subs on the lows in an all acrylic slot ported enclosure. Plenty of 2/0 and even 4/0 power wire from Skyhigh car audio delivering the massive power needed to push these amplifiers. These are NOT your every day Class D amps. Class A/AB is very demanding but worth it! It sounds sooo good so far. Of course there will be more tweaking and tuning on my own time but you get to see the basics here.

This mission is finally complete! But is it ever really DONE? Not in my world. I will probably do some new stuff in the near future. Of course after i drive it around some i will tweak the EQ's even more. I love it so far. What do you think? leave a message in the comments! thanks for watching if you did!
