[QUOTE="Xminka, post: 8591204, member: 673569"] Hi, So first off sorry to be that guy but I'm in need of a bit of help and researching over the web has given me multiple different answers and hoping to get a bit of knowledge from people with hopeful first hand experiences! So thank you for any feed back Soo Ill start with that I would say I am some what knowledgeable with lower power systems in older cars. Ive installed three different set ups in my old vehicle (1998 Ford Mustang), a small system in my dads 1976 Ford pickup and two systems for my buddy for his two different jeeps (idk the year but lets just say pre 2004). Anyways nothing I've done has been using more than about 700 watts of power which was my last build in the mustang (RF P3 15" with P1000x2, along with upgrading and powering the door speakers) this is more just to say I'm not completely stupid when it comes to car audio I'm just entering an area above what I have done in the past and above what friends and co-workers have done. I recently bought a 2017 Golf Gti and was wanting to install a subwoofer in it because I'm really just really missing that punch. Well I was wanting to get a system that I would not want to change and just keep that sub and amp combo the same over the years. So I was looking at CT sounds (reading online about mixed reviews but most seem good about the products) I was specifically looking at the new T2500.1D Amp and one Meso 15 inch sub.
