THIRTEEN 8's make this station wagon QUAKE! Mosconi / Gladen Demo Build!

[@byronn.2885]

This is one of the highest quality fit and finish builds that I have seen in a very long time. Reminds me of some of the big manufacturers build cars from the 90’s when they did the interiors like show cars.

[@Bobdole4373]

Damn that is such a beautiful install. This take me back 20+ years when it seemed like there was more of a focus on unique and crafty builds. Now it’s just a focus on loud. 15s, 10k amps, 40 runs of 0gauge wire, ect. It’s fun. I like loud but this stuff is so much more interesting to me

[@bkrgls]

Man these are the type of installs I would drool over as a teenager looking thru car audio magazines back in the day. I love'em versus the SPL monster builds. It's been years since I've heard a Mosconi setup. And that was my first time ever hearing of them and I wasn't disappointed either. This car is a real sleeper. A kick a$$ sound system with a 650HP beast under the hood! 🤤🤤 They were smart with using the wagon with this setup.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Yeah, when they told me about the motor is was amazed, car is awesome in every way. Did you enjoy this video format of build review?

[@bkrgls]

@CarAudioFabrication Yes I did enjoy it. As a matter of fact I was cooking breakfast and fixing my coffee while watching it. LOL! So I had to skip back a couple of times. 😆

Just wanted to say thank you so much for your videos. Especially the ones geared to people like me with no knowledge of car audio before stumbling across your channel. I started watching your channel about a week ago to start my own build. With help from your channel, and crutchfields amazing custom service and support, I made my own system in my 24 year old truck. It sounds amazing and I couldn't be happier. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@lycancatt4248]

[@vwdrvrfoundat420]

Been waiting for you to do a build like this!

[@Nobe_Oddy]

SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!! That is the type of build I was "emulating" when I was 17 when I put 4 JL W0's in the back of my KIA Spectra hatchback!!! My friend and I both had W0's in our cars each running off "1500 watt" amps (I highly doubt they were running at their advertised wattage lol) his was an old Planet audio and mine was an old Orion...but when his car broke down, and since we both spent all our waking hours together, we took his system out of his Acura and we combined them into the Kia lmao.... well I can tell it was fun while it lasted.... about 0.3 seconds LMFAO!!! on the very first bass hit I shattered my hatchback window!!!! So it was an expensive little experiment, but it was fun... After sealing up the hatch with a sheet of plexi-glass and some plastic sheets and a LOT of duct tape it just didn't sound right for "SOME REASON" 🤪 Well after about a week of 'ghetto trunk' I got the glass replaced and we turned everything DOWN... A LOT!!! This way we avoided breaking any more cheapo glass and we didn't fry that little alternator, even with 2 massive caps the car wanted to die with the volume up over half way lol It was a fun experiment... and I kept it set up in the Kia for about month... mainly because both of us were too lazy to pull it all back out lol..... But it REALLY made me respect the amount of preparation, knowledge, and effort that goes into these professional builds that are made so well that it just LOOKS EASY to do yourself...well..... IT. IS . NOT ! !!!!! lol Watching you channel brings me back to a lot of memories of building systems for my friends and family and learning on the fly.. I wish I had videos of your expertise, but I don't even think youtube was around in 2000/2001 .. heck phones didn't even have on them like they do now... so I NEVER would have access to your knowledge back then... But I learn SO MUCH from you.. so THANK YOU!!! You make me feel young again lol :)

[@Nobe_Oddy]

TBH I really don't remember exactly what the exact model of the subwoofers were... I can't remember.... we both bought 2 of them off of this guys that had 8 of them from his big setup in a van and they all matched....they were for sure 12" with DVC and I THINK we had them wired to run is 1ohm or maybe 0ohm....you could wire 2 of them together in series and I think it made the amp run with half the impedance as advertised and I think thats why I was sable to break the glass because they didn't sound like the same speakers as when had them with just one amp and 2 speakers in each car they sounded SUPER WIMPY and the amp didn't even seem to get warm,,,, so I'm pretty sure we were doing

[@vgullotta]

[@BudgetBassHead]

Very detailed... Mark never disappoints.

[@DarthObscurity]

"BudgetBassHead" Lmao. None of this equipment would breach your interest considering the subs are 300 dollars and the amps are 1200.

[@philb707]

Why wouldnt they thats the average price for good stuff@@DarthObscurity

[@BudgetBassHead]

@@DarthObscurity class AB is always a bit pricey. But it does sound amazing. Just reference some home audio stuff and you'll see. And yes my favorite 8 inch subs are around $300. But agreeably not affordable for most people.

[@marcuslinton310]

The only reason the audio in this vehicle sounds amazing is due to vehicle prep and speaker location, not the actual equipment itself. Modern audio gear amongst all the name brands is excellent these days and with stock vehicles you'll never hear enough difference between the brands to matter. People typically just have a brand preference and that will never really change. But when it comes to really high end gear, unless you prep the vehicle thoroughly, do proper locations and setup and what not, all that expensive gear isn't going to sound any better. You can literally end up spending as much on vehicle prep as you do the gear.

[@evilfingers4302]

[@llspragulus]

2:10 - Does the class A+B amplifier section share the same 12v rail as the class D? Class D is just inherently noisy from all the AC switching and I worry that this amp will pass that noise through to the A+B.

[@Drunken_Hamster]

I wonder why they didn't go IB midbass in the kicks.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Because they sound treated the heck out of the doors and made solid door panels.

[@Drunken_Hamster]

@@CarAudioFabrication I recently saw a video by RAW-CAt that proved with sound measurements that even heavily treated doors are still worse than kicks; particularly IB kicks. He DID specify that if you built fully enclosed boxes and mounted them on the doors that it would have the buzzing he recorded, but that he prefers to just go IB in the kicks rather than have all that weight and modification done to the door to make it work.

[@Taoizm_762]

Why go over on the cubic ft? Gladen website says a tad over 5 cubic ft (5.08) for 12 RS-X-08's. Why did he go larger to 6?

[@SoundsGoodStereo]

Lower tuning frequency of the sealed side

[@Taoizm_762]

@@SoundsGoodStereo There's some confusion because the Gladen website says 9L for each sub but, their sealed box says 14L. Going with the 14L the math is right on

[@wesleywilson4388]

Great build. Disappointed though u couldnt figure out a way to get more demo in. Thats what we all wanna see and hear. I think as a channel of your caliber youve gotta figure out a way to get demo as its a big part of the experience

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Why is it so difficult to follow that you are not hearing the system though... you are hearing your phone / computer / headphones? It's irrelevant to play a demo. I do it from time to time, but it always feels so silly.

[@Lazerchicken69]

I agree with CAF, you see peopel doing these long demos and jamming and all you hear is distortion from bass or see stuff moving it is useless, to hear a demo you need to be there on video it is totally pointless+

[@marcuslinton310]

Then you woke up, right? Cause only in your dreams is that happening, they were only 250 watts each. No way those were setting off any alarms and absolutely not shaking any pictures off a wall. Now, you can still piss off the neighbors, so I'll give you that one.

[@kylevinson7920]

@marcuslinton310 no they would rattle pictures off walls and setting off alarms. Air space and the way they are faced has alot to do with sound emitting and sound quality. Even in my truck shallow 10 type e rattled pictures of walls.
