Will be installed a little later. I stuffed a little bit of poly fill to help keep vibration down. Keep in mind that I am by no means an expert and wrapping fabric!!! I know there is a bit of overlay behind the speaker.

Second battery added checking charging.

Because there are two amps and fans, I decided to run a relay coming off the remote output of the MS8.

Few pictures of the amps and powered on.

This past weekend, I worked on a good friends jimmy. He completely blew his stock speakers. So I felt like I had to replace them.

I actually switched the tweeter mounting brackets. The left went to the right and right went to the left. This allowed the tweeters to be aimed just a tad of axis.

Today was a simple sub and amp integration into the factory system of a VW R32.

Battery

Fuse block ran and insulated.

Used the 12 volt plug to wake up the LOC

Powered the LOC from the fuse block

Everything ran

Set up

Long story short, the customer contacted me about a year ago to correct what other shops had done. After fixing those issues the customer constantly changed either amps or speakers every month or so. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

So this is a complete gut and rebuild. Everything is being taken out and re ran or replaced.

The amps will both be on a amp rack above the spare tire. The sub will now be centered in the trunk instead of to the side. Let's begin

Tear down

Found this when I was pulling up the power wire

They spliced into the power wire for the MS8

Today I setup the tweeter pods, and did the first layer of resin.

Made tweeter rings

Glued into place

First time doing the tweeter pods, so I did get some sag. Was not able to stretch it out.

If you are talking about how the car came to me, you are correct it was shot work. If you are talking about my rebuild, I am not sure why you say that. As I said first time doing the a pillar tweeter pods. The sagging can be corrected.

New speakers installed

Because the door panels have been taken off so many times; I replaced all the panel pins.

Power wire and speaker wire ran

Other pillar wrapped

Updated pics of the amp rack, aligned the amps and the holes. Going to be bolting them in with stainless steel bolts.

Test fitted the amp rack in the trunk. Perfect fit!

Now to start the false floor tomorrow and sub box.

So today I got a lot done, most of the car is back together. Did get to test the woofers and sub however ran into a few problems including the sub box will not fit because of a seat belt in the way. So I will have to change the location to the left of the trunk and make a new beauty panel.

Working on the sub box.
