[QUOTE="MarlboroMan1967, post: 8739063, member: 682542"] Hey folks, The name is Gene, and I am building a system for my 1967 VW Beetle. I have had the car for 13+ years now, through two marriages and a divorce, and I am at the point of the build where I am starting to design the interior and sound system. I have been perusing the build forums and found a couple of threads regarding VW's, but nothing like the setup I am wanting to install. I am not looking to blow anyone's eardrums out, or do any competitions, I just want some good clean sound to listen to tunes from my iPhone rolling down the road. I want to run a Bluetooth amp, like this [URL='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UTXQL74/?tag=caraudiocom-20']Kenwood[/URL], or something similar if anyone has any suggestions, and a 10" sub along with a decent component set residing in a home-built panel under the dash. The reasoning for the BT amp, is that not only do I not want to cut the pristine dash in this 55 year old car, but I don't want one of those cheezy "in the glove-box radio panels like this [URL='https://www.jbugs.com/product/3033.html']one[/URL]. The way I stumbled upon the BT amp was researching how to build a "suitcase stereo" to carry in my back seat. I have been out of the car audio world for a while, but the 1964 VW beetle I drove in the late 1990's had a Alpine HU, and a Rockford Fosgate Punch 800 powering an 8" MTX sub and a nice set of Alpine 6" mid/tweeters, didn't have a clue about component sets until after this build, and it sounded very nice in the bug. I am looking for a similar sounding system in my current Beetle, and I appreciate any and all information you could provide to assist me. Looking forward to learning from everyone here. Thanks, Gene [/QUOTE]
