@@tordenbob1 Yeah its been well documented, the horrible state of many of these - from barely short-term-viable, to downright dangerous and not street legal. IIRC some of the earlier ones were OK, but as with any reality'ish show - producers always push for more extreme, regardless of the real-life cost to the parties involved or warnings from their tech staff and advisors.
Ah, the days before people settled before subpar OEM crap was hard to replace. Now the stereos are part of the dash and spiderwebbed into everything in the car and cost a fortune when they fail. It's also crazy how much it costs for wiring harnesses and dash kits to replace the garbage. These were the days! Thank you guys for restoring the stereo to it's old glory with some fresh features.
only at auto saloon lol go to a real car show like summernats or motor ex etc. if the judges even see a fuse box your gettin points deducted haha, you can't even show a wire lol oop there's an injector points deducted hahaha a sexspec car wouldn't even get in the top 100 at one of these events lol
I used to do car audio. I would ALWAYS run into cars like this. Wires going no where, positive and rca running together... engine noise through the speaker.
@@SilverCanary1 "engine noise through the speakers" = alternator noise. Either because of bad grounding, no RCA output (and a speaker to line converter) or bad RCA cables. Same in petrol and diesel cars.
The reason Marty is so excited about this repair is he knows if it’s all fixed and not getting ripped out the car is going to weight a ton and he will chop the holy shiz out of it.
lol I always laugh when moog points out how reckless Marty gets sometimes with his razor knife…. but laying his hot solder gun on the custom leather dash was priceless!! hahaha
When dealing with this type of car were you dont know what anything is or where it goes- best to have an Ohm meter, and a signal generator to isolate speaker leads- if you dont have a signal generator, you can touch suspected speaker wires to the top of a small 9V battery like used in a childs toy and see if you get any pops or noise from speakers, then mark the wires-
LOL - you didnt need to cut a long hunk of wire, if you probe under the dash the suspected amp signal wire going to the back with the red lead, then ground the black lead to chassis- then go in trunk and hold suspected amp signal wire to ground and you get your beep- BINGO!
when you have no visible fuse box under the bonnet you rake in major points at the shows because it will appear as if your sound system is protected by the unicorns
Like I said on The Skid Factory, I'm really enjoying the Drag Week video series. Love the depth of detail and length of the videos. Love also that you guys normally have 15 min or longer videos. Can't get enough of both channels.
Yes you can do that. But DC will cook the coils. There is a reason why pretty much everybody runs capacitors on the output of an amplifier chip. While maybe for a few seconds it won’t hurt much. Never prolonged or anything about 2-3v maybe 5 for a very short amount of time on a big-ish speaker.
holly shit, they had horrible reserve back then I guess. I dont think even my little xs would die in 10 min, unless I was pulling the 700+ amps that I do, just on that single battery. lol. also not really the smartest to run it with the vehicle off anyway. a charger maybe has 60amps max. might as well just run the alts and have hundreds of amps to charge them up.
Exactly they had power supplies not external chargers. They have been used for a long time in sound off circles which still happen even if the general public has moved on from it. All manufacturer demo vans have external power supplies.
I used to work professionally installing car audio and accessories. This is like a normal day working on a job installed by another shop. Figuring out the what, why, where, and how...
@ChrisHallett83 This is why I learned to do my own stereo installs because I never trusted places like strathfield or autobarn. Even recently I had some Type R splits installed by a proper car audio shop in my Civic and they used hot glue to glue in the tweeters in the factory dash positions but when it got hot the glue melted and the tweeters fell into the dash.
When I was 17 I worked my ass off for a whole summer just to buy Subs and an Amp like those for my car. 20 years ago to have those Amps and speakers in your car made you the coolest kid in the group. What you guys are doing brings back so many memories.
@@barrybritcher dolby is just a decoder. You can have that is the shitest amps. There is alot more to sound that a simple decoder. You really need to look at the DAC. That is the true heart. From there everything else is support. And unless your music is coded in dolby it wont actually play in dolby, it will be a half ass attempt with the eq.
I've had to do exactly what you two are doing so many times that this was genuinely hard to watch. So many people over the years that have had me sort out some mess of audio equipment. "Free" installation at Best Buy resulted in a lot of shit wiring jobs. No one wanted to pay for an expert anymore. Once Crutchfield and Amazon came along no one wanted to pay more than cost for gear. This killed the business. Now I'm like a an IT guy, I pretend I don't know anything to avoid getting involved lol.
Same thing here but with mechanical things. Always pretend I don't know what that weird noise is while actually knowing it's pretty serious. Been taken advantage of way to many times.
Hey MCM, Just an little help for you guys, when using continuity on your multimeter, instead of running a long wire to make the connection, Its easier to use the cars chassis instead. So if you use the chassis on the far end you put your meter on the cable and the chassis on the wire end and that will bell the cable out for you. i hope this helps
Never heard of you guys untill you made the episode with Roadkill. I was a big fan of roadkill but now rarely watch it. You are by far the best car show, not only on youtube but overall. Keep up the good work. I love MCM, skid factory and weekly =)
I dunno man, two different show styles. I love them both. Roadkill do real world adventures and get old crap running (barely) then do dumb stuff like road trips with them. These guys either do serious builds or complete comedy. I love both shows for totally different reasons. I'd be happier if Roadkill came out more often though
Paul Wisdom Roadkill is different but lately it has been kinda forced if you know what i mean. They seem to have very little time for making the videos and its all much the same. Wrench a little bit and do burnouts. In the beginning it was fresh, like the Jeep rat rid and roadtripping a mercury custom and all. Now they might just take a old project car out of storage, make it run again and do burnouts. Its really just half ased forced content.
Just a helpful tip, if you want to complete a circuit without using a long length of wire you can use an exposed portion of metal on the car frame with your ground from the meter, and the ground from whatever device you are going to, thus completing the ground through the aluminum frame of the car and saving you some wire.
re: blue amp switch wire checking, rather than run a second wire all the way across the car to test it, you can also ground/earth one end out and meter your continuity to ground on the other end. Obviously check that it isn't powered or grounded before you ground it, might get some unexpected results from that.
Oh man I remember that episode. When I first found your channel almost four years ago I went ahead and watched every single one of your videos. You guys are fucking amazing
I appreciate the little 2 no cuts. Out of the years of customizing stereo's since the 90s it gives ppl an idea of the true thought that needs 2 be put into it. I can tell the guy no offense shouldn't of hooked anything up or worked on it and I give him props 4 leading most of it to ppl who kno what their doing. I miss my eclipse component speaker set with the boxes that help prevent the speakers from not only blowing but taking away the lower frequencies that are not healthy mid range door subs and tweeters. Ran into my 250 Sony amp old school and the subs ran with cap, JL 500/1 hooked up bridged to two 12in hcca duel voice coil subs. In a 92 Honda civic hatch. Loved it! Now running a 04 VW Passat awd 5speed 1.8t wagon. 😀
I’d be fascinated to see a show car take the same approach to wiring as newer super custom PCs, where wires aren’t hidden, they’re just dressed up as well.
anyone ever notice that Moog superfluously addresses Marty as Marty or Martin when he's talking to him, but Marty doesn't? Perhaps it's because he doesn't need to, but it's not just in a few episodes here and there, it's all the time, even in the Unicorn Circuit, etc. There's your random MCM fact for the day
I heard somewhere that some people use that as a stand over tactic. Like if someone consistently repeats your name during conversation it’s mental stand over game
Depends a lot on tone and the inflections you put into your words, imo I think Moog does it for the camera / theatrics rather than actually trying to dismiss Marty's side of the conversation, at least that's what I take from it.
Hint for those who are doing a audio upgrade.... run RCA leads down the drivers side. But power down the left side as well as the trigger for the amp . Stops noises though the speakers. Also If running front speakers through the amplifier the boot run the speaker wires down the right side as well
some cars look better with something on their sides. but most don't and some you just don't*. *(tough there are some of those too, like some that have put 25cm on each side on an Rolls Royce Silver Shadow)
This brings me back like 15 years! I had a small Fiat Cinquecento Abarth, pulled the backseat out and build a stereo in it. Double 1200w subs, 2 monoblock amps, 6 speakers on one big multi channel amp, all JBL. When I cranked it everything started shaking, the little roof window and window wipers started bouncing up and down lmao. The vibrations cracked the backwindow one time when I went too far. Good times
Mostly correct about crossovers, what Moog is describing is the difference between a passive and an active crossover. The former being band-pass, low-pass and high-pass filters, the latter splits the audio signal before being amplified.
It's cool seeing Marty and Moog do all their own work. Clearly sussing dodgy wiring is their métier. Probably because they perpetrated so much of it in their sure-to-have-been misspent youths.
I have a 2001 Golf gti. And the monsoon stereo in it is actually really really good. I’ve replaced my head unit and added a sub, but the stock door speakers are very good quality loud and crisp.
They were slightly better back in the day. But still complete shit. The last good Sony was the mobile ES stuff from the late 90's. Its funny but when I worked as a installer our Sony rep offered me a ton of free gear when they first came out with the Xplode crap and I almost laughed in his face.
You guys can use a 9v battery, touch both speaker wires to the battery and see the magnet of the woofer pull or push the cone of the speaker. That way you can also figure out the correct polarity. The cone is supposed to be pulled.
This is giving me flashback to how many times I rewired my Cavalier when I got it because it had show car audio... Alpine amp - blown, all 4 speakers doubled onto the left rear channel, twin 10 inch subs in the trunk passed through the blown amp, and a head unit with more wattage RMS than both the amps combined. I had the door panels off so many times to fix the stupid door speakers that matched these.
I hate these Lancers with a passion. Everyone in the late 90s and early 00s had these and either put an evo kit or droid kit on them and a friggin cannon. At least this one actually has the right engine.
Fordy Ford These were called Mirages here in the philippines back then. Same thing happened here lottsa people putting horrid body kits on these and cannons. Though i knew a guy who actually transplanted an actual evo drivetrain and engine onto a mirage and practically made a 2 door evo.
Yeh I feel ya but when the motor is right it's not so try hard, but yeh so many stock Lancers kitted out to the max, hell even a few excels were getting around fully kitted lol.
I have -95 Volvo 940 project car with massive subwoofers, 8 speakers and tweeters from 2008 (when they were a-must-have). And it still brings a smile to my face when I listen to those (in middle of nowhere so nobody else sees :D). Edit: Why didnt you just take everything out and run everything new? That car is a wiring mess..
As part of my job I install data cable around a campus often alongside existing cable. As every cable looks the same you use a tone generator and probe to identify a cable in a stack. Saves lots of guess work. Would have been perfect to help answer some of the glorious mysteries this cars wiring had to offer
It’s all quality skilled work that would have taken a crazy amount of time and money just in poor taste looking back at it. At the time that was the thing. That sexy stanced cambered out subie (etc) looks good now but will look just as ugly and tasteless as this looks now in 15 heads.

STAG162 Probably because he calls him Blair in person.
I heard somewhere that some people use that as a stand over tactic. Like if someone consistently repeats your name during conversation it’s mental stand over game
I've heard that too, but here I believe it's more just out of habit
Depends a lot on tone and the inflections you put into your words, imo I think Moog does it for the camera / theatrics rather than actually trying to dismiss Marty's side of the conversation, at least that's what I take from it.
Hint for those who are doing a audio upgrade.... run RCA leads down the drivers side. But power down the left side as well as the trigger for the amp . Stops noises though the speakers. Also If running front speakers through the amplifier the boot run the speaker wires down the right side as well
I LOVE playing with old school car audio. Single DINs and power wire and fuse holders and screw down terminals and amplifiers and crossovers. ❤️
to all the wide body boys: in 20 years people will laugh at your car
some cars look better with something on their sides.
but most don't and some you just don't*.
*(tough there are some of those too, like some that have put 25cm on each side on an Rolls Royce Silver Shadow)
just not true. widebodys have been around for 20 years plus already as a means of making wider wheels fit on street cars trying to be raced.
@@ferrarikingdom on touring cars etc, yes. But not for Bobby and his backwards facing hat, poor posture and plastic bolted to the side of his car.
I'm already laughing
Imagine: in 20 years we have narrow body kits
two sound engineers working on sound system.
Lmao. Neither of them are engineers of audio, whatsoever.
@@carhome1182 Marty was a sound engineer
They used too install music studios and I'm pretty sure they met at uni learning about it so I'm pretty they do know
@@carhome1182 did you also forget moog is a dj
I kinda hate that I love the "Let's Get 2WISTD" song.
This brings me back like 15 years! I had a small Fiat Cinquecento Abarth, pulled the backseat out and build a stereo in it. Double 1200w subs, 2 monoblock amps, 6 speakers on one big multi channel amp, all JBL. When I cranked it everything started shaking, the little roof window and window wipers started bouncing up and down lmao. The vibrations cracked the backwindow one time when I went too far. Good times
Mostly correct about crossovers, what Moog is describing is the difference between a passive and an active crossover. The former being band-pass, low-pass and high-pass filters, the latter splits the audio signal before being amplified.
The 2W is 2WISTED shows how many wheels it drives with
Yeah and the STD ... oh well never mind
It's cool seeing Marty and Moog do all their own work. Clearly sussing dodgy wiring is their métier. Probably because they perpetrated so much of it in their sure-to-have-been misspent youths.
That car looks like it was in an episode of pimp my ride, lol!
I like this style of video. No rush, one subject. You guys should do more of these. Kinda soothing.
please keep making videos this long they're my favourite
This is the BEST way i want to relax after work!
I did not find a better way!
Adnan Mlivo You must’ve never watched BoostedBoiz or Cletus McFarland channels.
@@carhome1182 I watch them every day bro but mcm is the best!
AvE and This old Tony too.
Anyone else hear one of them fart at 42:15 just before the cut or is that just me? 😂😂
I had to go back and listen....you're right🤣
I thought it was 2wisted starting up
i concur.. a flatus was expelled.
Must be what Moog meant when he said he was going to buzz that one out right there. 😂😂😂
@@ConnorNolanTech Omg exactly 😂😂😂😂
Love how excited you are in this episode Moog ☻
I adore watching your show. Have not missed anything for 5 years or so, and STILL can sit through 45min of nonsense because it's so fun.
I miss the old driveway videos era! Love you guys. Nostalgia is kicking in strong
But does it have underglow?
Wait a second, you're right, where's the under glow kit???
Should blast the NFS Underground 2 soundtrack through the stereo lol.
there goes my night :D
edit: there goes my pants
I have a 2001 Golf gti. And the monsoon stereo in it is actually really really good. I’ve replaced my head unit and added a sub, but the stock door speakers are very good quality loud and crisp.
Love to see these guys working together like this. Great video 👌
17:32 me when my teacher asks me something i actually know about
hahahha aww yes XD
48:39 yeah I think its on fire man
Lool
I remember those being the biggest joke of a subwoofer here in the states. Walmart special $50.
Yup they had a bad habit of wearing out in the corners. Just like the first square kicker solerbarics subs.
They were slightly better back in the day. But still complete shit. The last good Sony was the mobile ES stuff from the late 90's. Its funny but when I worked as a installer our Sony rep offered me a ton of free gear when they first came out with the Xplode crap and I almost laughed in his face.
Sony xplod stuff was hilarious tho
@@JM-mn4ph I remember get the first Xplod Subs generation kind of decent 250 RMS
The whole system is a Walmart joke. Lazy install at it's worst.
You guys can use a 9v battery, touch both speaker wires to the battery and see the magnet of the woofer pull or push the cone of the speaker. That way you can also figure out the correct polarity. The cone is supposed to be pulled.
It's like three days i've been trying to watch this video, literally, and it's GLORIOUS!
Man!! Did you see the size of that rear diff!! Beefy!! LMAO!
Yeah, it was as big as a gas tank! Don't know where the fuel must go in this thing. Must be in a fuel cell under the subs.
Is anybody going to acknowledge how serious moog seemed in the ending 😂 fire is never fun
CaptainMcLachs except when blowing up deodorant cans in campfires. or sodabulbs
You can tell that stereo hasn't got very much bass because the guy that own the car was a cheap bastard for putting Sony Xplod subwoofers in it
This is giving me flashback to how many times I rewired my Cavalier when I got it because it had show car audio...
Alpine amp - blown, all 4 speakers doubled onto the left rear channel, twin 10 inch subs in the trunk passed through the blown amp, and a head unit with more wattage RMS than both the amps combined.
I had the door panels off so many times to fix the stupid door speakers that matched these.
Quick tip, Use the car as your long wire to test continuity. Just ground one end of the meter and ground the other end of the wire you are chasing.
I always use 0 gauge power wire for my subs.
Michael Bacon best way to go, my cousins use 0 gauge doubled spliced Together
l have been building stereo systems in cars for years and not once have l had to plug a power wire into a sub
bjorn1583 obviously your doing something wrong.. i mean, all the REAL tuners power their subs instead of the amps
@@dinsterzz hahaha. Exactly. The bigger the wire. The more power you're putting into the subs
Who uses 0 Gauge... use welders wire for that SPL goodness.
I hate these Lancers with a passion. Everyone in the late 90s and early 00s had these and either put an evo kit or droid kit on them and a friggin cannon. At least this one actually has the right engine.
Fordy Ford what’s a droid kit?
With all of that leather, mdf and stereo gear weighing it down it's probably as fast as a 4g93 stocker
Fordy Ford These were called Mirages here in the philippines back then. Same thing happened here lottsa people putting horrid body kits on these and cannons. Though i knew a guy who actually transplanted an actual evo drivetrain and engine onto a mirage and practically made a 2 door evo.
Fuk off m8 dis a proper racecar
Yeh I feel ya but when the motor is right it's not so try hard, but yeh so many stock Lancers kitted out to the max, hell even a few excels were getting around fully kitted lol.
I'm assuming the editor forgot to put in the "Kicking 2SEXY shots" and that 40 second explanation of what a crossover is was 👌
I have -95 Volvo 940 project car with massive subwoofers, 8 speakers and tweeters from 2008 (when they were a-must-have). And it still brings a smile to my face when I listen to those (in middle of nowhere so nobody else sees :D).
Edit: Why didnt you just take everything out and run everything new? That car is a wiring mess..
As part of my job I install data cable around a campus often alongside existing cable. As every cable looks the same you use a tone generator and probe to identify a cable in a stack. Saves lots of guess work. Would have been perfect to help answer some of the glorious mysteries this cars wiring had to offer
So what we can conclude is that this is a show car built by people that had no idea how to build a car...
Can’t fault the original builder on all the other owners “mods”
The original owner and all of the shops that worked on it absolutely knew what they were doing. It was all the other owners afterwards that ruined it.
Darth Soldier, dude you have absolutely no freakin' idea what you are talking about.!!!
It’s all quality skilled work that would have taken a crazy amount of time and money just in poor taste looking back at it. At the time that was the thing. That sexy stanced cambered out subie (etc) looks good now but will look just as ugly and tasteless as this looks now in 15 heads.
