Under the hood I had to drill a hole in the firewall next to the existing hole that is under and in between the N75 and brake booster area. Next up I ran the power wire and RCA's for the amps. I'm using 4 conductor 12ga wire which is giant and it fit no problems. VW uses HUGE grommets in the door hinge area and getting large wires through there is easy. I didn't take much pics of the wiring throughout this whole ordeal, but wiring the doors is real easy. I'm not building a competition system here of course, but I'd like it to sound half way decent so both sides are aimed slightly off axis to help reduce the "harshness" that some folks hear with aluminum domed tweets. I had to dremel out the mounting for the OE tweets a bit and hot glue the new ones in place taking careful note of alignment. In either case, it works well:įor the tweeters, I installed them in the stock locations as well. It works fine, but I'm a little dissapointed as it seems like I spent $60 just for key in acc line when I could have tapped into that coming out of the ignition switch. I don't have pics, but I got the PAC audio adapter that Crutchfield sells for the late model MKIV's (mine's a 03).

Charges while doing voice guided nav with hands free calling simultaneously through the car's speakers. It has a USB port on the back which I plug into my iPhone dock pretty much all the time I'm in the car. I installed this in place of the stock double din Monsoon. I chose the Kenwood due to the features and price I felt it offers a large bang for your buck.
This time I chose to just match everything up and it turned out pretty well I think.Īll started with the head unit.
I've been a huge JL fan for the last 20 years and have had a few systems with bits of their equipment here and there. I figured it's like any other upgrades, you can do it yourself and experiment to find the ultimate results 2 years later and after 3-4 rounds of upgrades, or you can just buy pre-made "packaged" kits which is what I chose.
I hung out over at for a while and they're all big advocates of mixing the speaker brands and sizes yourself instead of buying pre-made "speaker kits" like the door speakers I chose. Yeah, it looks like I'm a JL fanboi and I suppose I am.
