From the early days of weekend cruising and demo stops at the local audio shop, to building some of the most eye-catching - and ear-shattering - systems the industry has seen since the late 1990s and early 2000s, Steve\'s impact on car audio culture is undeniable.
What started as personal passion quickly evolved into a brand that represents innovation, precision, and real-world usability. Today, Steve Meade Designs (SMD) is a family-run company with a simple mission:
to create cool, well-engineered products that help both weekend warriors and professional installers build better systems.
Through years of experience, partnerships, and hands-on development, Steve recognized the need for tools and accessories that allow everyday enthusiasts to level up their installs with confidence. From distortion detectors and crossover calibrators, to volt meters, output meters, fuse blocks, distribution blocks, and electrical accessories, SMD products are designed to solve real problems installers face every day.
When it comes to quality-made products designed and assembled in the United States, SMD consistently sits at the top tier of the conversation.
The working relationship between SMD and Sky High Car Audio dates back nearly to the inception of Sky High Car Audio itself. What began as shared interest within the SMD community has grown into a partnership focused on delivering proven, high-quality products to customers like you.

π Real-Time Amplifier Output Monitoring & Clipping AwarenessThe SMD OM-1 Output Meter is a precision amplifier monitoring tool designed to display real-time output voltage from your amplifier. When used alongside the DD-1 Distortion Detector, the OM-1 allows installers and enthusiasts to visually monitor output levels and know exactly when an amplifier is approaching or reaching clipping.
Whether you\'re tuning a daily driver or maintaining a competition-level system, the OM-1 provides clear, reliable response to help protect equipment and maintain consistent performance.
Some may call it overbuilt - we call it built right.
