[QUOTE="Noobtastic14, post: 8666311, member: 606045"] I've been out of the game for several years now- I rebuilt my Neo wall in 2014 and about a year ago sold it to another military guy because family life has me pretty tied down. My brother lives near me now in PHX and does [URL="https://soundcloud.com/echoxray"]EDM style music[/URL] and asked me to outfit his Diesel Golf. This is a pretty straight forward build all things considered, its mostly finished minus the raw wood box. I started with gear x2 DC lvl 3 12s x1 DC 2k x1 DC 90.4 x4 CDT 6.5 Components x1 Rockford Fosgate 360.3 for OEM integration Wires/Accessories from SHCA [IMG]http:////applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=https://i.imgur.com/XmEBcNW.jpg&key=ab41c2ac205aefc5aafa7f7f990e2e79f5c26d1b0d9e1a7bb07d9e5f672190a7[/IMG] The first few steps involved getting the new battery and terminals in place, as well as door panels and wire work.

On this car, the HU sends full range signal to all speakers and they each have a small passive xover element. The rear doors were pretty straight forward because I am not running an active setup so it was a simple speaker swap and test. The front doors however split off to the A pillars at some point so I ended up running dedicated wires to the 360 to keep everything crossed. The source unit is actually in the glove box, so I added the 360 with it for simplicity of wiring.

Once it was wrapped up I could go ham on some subwoofer action.
