[QUOTE="veedubtek, post: 8038683, member: 651163"] Building a 1981 VW Scirocco from nothing, complete ground up rotisserie restoration. Just about ready to start wiring, so I need to get the audio sorted. Not competition level, but I'm hunting for great sound quality. Majority of my music is going to be streaming, which obviously isn't the best for quality, but I know a good system can do it enough justice to make me happy (I'm perfectly content with the Bang & Olufsen system in my Audi). I guess what I'm looking for are recommendations on: Head unit. Single din, great quality, good pre-out voltages, A2DP a must. Front speaker selection and placement. I have a Focal 165KR2 component set which I thought would be perfect in the front doors, or maybe the rear, but I'm open to suggestions and not locked into this particular set...just picked up a great deal on them about a year ago and couldn't pass them up. Don't love the door idea, but not sure I have the room for kick panel enclosures. Rears. Components? Coax? Midrange drivers? Location? Not sure what's best. Sub. I'm thinking a single JL10W3 or equivalent, maybe 2? Gonna be a false floor of sorts with a sealed box(es) for the sub built in, which will also hide the amp(s) and vehicle battery. Amplifier(s). 1 4 channel and 1 mono? 1 all inclusive amp? Don't really want to add any signal processors/equalizers/capacitors/line drivers/etc...trying to be as minimalistic as possible, while still maintaining a good sound. I need to at least order the RCA's and speaker wire this week so I can include it in the harness I'm building for the car. (speaking of - 12ga for speakers? Or is 14/16 sufficient?) Thanks in advance, [/QUOTE]
