It may give you an idea on what you are up for if you want a dealer fitted part.

I don't have permission to attach it, but you can PM me and i can email it to you, otherwise if a moderator can find a good spot for it on the forum for all to access i can pass it on.

cheers

By that stage (3 days of ****ing around) I was just glad it was in and working.
I originally wanted to mount one on each side of the wall, next to the cubby holes with the amp under the passengers seat - but there's not enough room in any of those places.
When I have enough spare change to splurge on replacing that sub, I'll get a superslim one and I'll find somewhere better to put it.
But until then... That's what I've got.

I reckon I could enter competitions with this and the stock speaker system - its that good!!

Absolutely not - I like my hearing the way it is.
Well... Then again, windows down on Macquarie Pass with the music up is a different story!! ;)

But generally - it spends half of the time switched off. (Switch in roof console)

my latest modification - audi paddle shifter extensions.....

That actually looks pretty snazzy!!... Apart from the square holes in the front.

How much do you actually use the paddles?

I installed a sub in my boot too... put it off for a long time until I convinced myself I could live without using the storage in behind the trim panel on the RHS in the boot:

Ahhhhgggggg! The stock boot lights! My eyes!
Do yourself a favour and get some led lights.
Nice sub install btw :)

The led boot lights from super skoda are pretty awesome..

Been thinking if doing the same with a sub.. Did you upgrade all the speakers? Or just an amp and the sub? I was thinking of just that but not sure how useful that alone would be..

Can't agree more RE: Superskoda LED's!!

Here's my sub/amp install. I use both of the storage cupboards, so they were out.
I'm going to (read: eventually) get a set of RCA sockets on a small metal board and mount that to the interior trim - just to look a little more professional, and a little friendlier to remove should I need the entire boot space. :)

Not bad for a total cost (at the end of installation) of $200!

Have bought the TDI RS a Provent200 http://www.carformance.com.au/media/...r/provent2.jpg(air/oil seperator) to fit up, a bit late considering that I have 75K on it now, but better late then never. Trying to work out where to fit it and have been toying with the idea of getting a APR intake which will free up some space and streamline the intake. ( check out Poyta's thread - http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...t-58691-3.html
Now that the car is out of warranty I might even look at getting a ECU tune as well..........

2012 Scout booked in for audio upgrade later in the week.. Not doing myself hopefully they do a much cleaner job than I would and less stress..

Replacing front and rear speakers with Focal PS165s, and dynamating (is that a word?) doors..

Also putting Focal IBUS 2.1 Compact Sub (front speakers run through it too) in the boot in one of the side compartments..

Will post pics and 'review' on the weekend..
