So when I decided to get a GTI, I purposely got the 'S' model for a few reasons. One of these was that I wasn't going to pay extra for Fender audio knowing that I would be installing all of the audio equipment from my last car into this one. I've had the car for a couple months now and have done enough research to start my build. Here are a couple of pics of what's been done so far...
Focal mid and tweet installed in custom pillars
JL 12" W3 sub in sealed box
I know the popular thing now is to have some type of stealth subwoofer in this car, but as I said before I already had the equipment from a previous build. With the sub, I wanted something that would take up minimal space, still allow me to use the passthrough and 60% fold down, and be able to quickly remove it for more storage or to access the spare tire.
Wanted to get the fabrication stuff done first so I haven't installed amps yet. The sub is obviously not connected yet but the A-pillars are hooked up to the stock signal. Things already sound better since the Focals don't need much power to drive. When all is said and done I will have everything running active with my Alpine H800 processor. I'll keep you guys up to date as I go along...
