Older guy and his obsession

[MarlboroMan1967]

Hey all,

The name is Gene and the obsession is 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 want to run a Bluetooth amp, like this Kenwood, 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.

Looking forward to learning from everyone here.

Thanks,
Gene

Luckily,

I have been into VW's since I was a teenager, and one of my buddies stored it at his shop, while i went through 6 years of bullsh*t with the ex-wife.

That blows man. All I can tell you is keep putting one foot in front of the other, every single day. I don't know if you have kids or not, but knowing they were looking to me for an example was my driving force through all of her bullshit.

I do.
my son is turning 16 and my little girl is 7
Its extremely hard to play by the rules when the other side doesn't but I refuse to get sucked into that game

Finally, another VW owner. Welcome! This is my 62' that I just picked up in Long Beach.
