Ok. Say I buy the MS-8. I buy the sub. I buy a 5 channel amp and keep the factory front/rear speakers. You think this will sound better? The more I read about this thing, the more I like it...but of course I don't believe everything I read either...

Problem is, 2 way I'd have to run a 4" set. The 6 1/2" opening is at the very bottom/rear of the door in a terrible location. I dunno, could probably make it work, but thats kinda why I wanted to stay passive with this and just get "good". Keep it simple. Maybe i'm expecting too much out of the...

LOL. Looks like what I want and what I'm gonna get are 2 different things then. Can't budget that. Too many other plans for the car. If necessary, I'll throw an 80RS in this one too, I do love the HU. Just figured I'd give this kenwood a whirl since I got her so cheap.

Which piece of hardware would you recommend for this?

Keep in mind also - I know for optimum SQ I need to build/relocate my entire front stage. I'm not going that far. Stock location, maybe aimed a bit better, sound deadening, and decent hardware.

Can you elaborate about the processing? Not sure what all this HU is capable of, certainly nowhere near the 80RS in my Thing, but I figured it would do good enough with a decent amp or 2. I run 5 channel amps in both my Audi and my Thing and love the simplicity, but I really want this system to...

Right now, I'm thinking of a http://www.amazon.com/P1000-1-Precision-Power-Monoblock-Amplifier/dp/B005KW10ES/ref=pd_sim_e_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1KFVXBTY6FT60ZYXA3M0 for the sub (extreme overkill) and...

In a 2006 Jetta TDI. If you are familiar with these cars, you'll know the front door speaker selection and placement is kinda ******. Regardless, budget is ~$1000. Not firm on that, but the better off I do this, the better chance I have of also getting an upgraded turbo. Audio comes first...

Check out my build thread, detailed pics of everything thus far: VWVortex.com - I hate money...

LOL, yeah...8 exotic pearls in this paint, it's nuts. I'm basically just taking elements from the new scirocco that we don't get, and implementing them into mine. The paint, engine, etc...I've owned and built several mk5's, so I've got a soft spot for this engine anyway. I also worked for VW for...

2.0T FSI from a 2008 GTI That's Viper green from the S3 in europe - $1000/gallon Shaved bay, those wheel arches are from a mk2 GTI, custom fuel door (s1 never had one), etc...2 years in the making so far. And yeah, vortex audio forum is wack. Thanks!   ---------- Post added at 10:13 AM...

What it's all going in:

Nah, gotta be single din. And yes, definitely SQ build. Whoa, that HU sounds perfect, thanks! Never heard of DLS, I've been out of the game for awhile apparently. You saying don't run the rear 6.5's off of the amp? Will be Focal 165KR2's work just as well in the front? And what about the rear...

Noone?

Thanks for the reply. Probably should've mentioned that. I really listen to everything, but I'd say metal most of the time, with a good bit of old school hip hop. Budget...eh. I've tried not to really budget much with this build. I'll well over 20K into it so far, and it's about half way done...
