Another beetle audio install - updated 13/5/05

Inspired by Troy, thought I'd share some pics of my installation so as not to bombard his thread!!

Here are some early pics of the dash mod which was dropped down using a donor dash section.


Here is the original Kenwood HU I was going to run before learning a bit more about car audio and making some better informed decisions.

Sub enclosure mid way through construction - 6x9 holes will be glassed over (their initial inclusion was based on more ill-informed advice from car audio "salesman" who ended up wasting my money).


And here it is nestled in behind rear seat and rollcage.


Amp rack I welded up (looks weak but is actually very stable) - these are the only two components of the original system I have kept (Kenwood 150WRMS and 240WRMS amps).

Now for the new stuff....

Alpine CDA-9833 HU slotted in place.


And amp rack temporarily bolted in place (so I can eventually make the fibreglass surround).


Dynaudio 240GTs waiting patiently to be installed into custom kicks (still to come). Eclipse sub will replace the original pioneer.


Thats it for now, I'll update as progress continues.

Nice, once again Das! :agree:
Nice reciever upgrade as well...Alpine is one of the best out there.
Oh and what size of componant speakers were you able to fit into the kick panels? I might only be able to fit 5.25 if i install the tweeters into the kicks as well...other wise I might put them some where in the dash or something.

let us know how the sub sounds once everything is going...i still havent made my decision on that part
