Stealth mk4 stereo

[Khyron]

I have a double din non-monsoon, and while it's ok, I got spoiled when I bought Ryan's sony deck. Sounded much better, I just didn't like the silver and the loss of wheel controls. So I went back to stock. Also got a phatbox which is fine for me.

Toyed with getting a full aftermarket deck, or maybe a nav, and in the end decided it wasn't worth it (200+ bucks just to get the 2 modules for vw wheel controls)

Saw Bill's old Alpine amp for sale, and since he's pickier about sound than I am, and he said it was better than his monsoon, I jumped.

But I refuse to have a sub that takes up my trunk space - I camp and constantly fill the trunk. Soooo.....












Will probably redo the cover in carpet once I decide on a better mount. It's in there pretty good, and I can take it out in 2 seconds to get at the 12V outlet if needed. And no altering the floor/spare area.

Sounds fantastic, far better than just the deck upgrade. Need to break in the sub more, but whatever, it's more than I'll need anytime soon!

good work. haven't seen one like that that wasn't fiberglass.

ps, a little dynamat in the trunk goes a long way too. i just put a few pieces in the trunk lid. not much at all, but it made the sound crisper.

Looks good! Yeah, I have only seen something like that done in fiberglass, but this looks a lot simplier. Only thing I would suggest is finding a carpet that matches better with your trunk. Nice work though.

I would have fiberglassed it but then again I am hardkor Looks really good, you can buy trunk matching carpet at most car audio places. I would also suggest a grill or some type of bar over the sub so you don't have to worry about items in the trunk.

Thx - will probably carpet it eventually, just had that vinyl laying around. Doesn't contrast as much when not being flashed.

Originally was going to glass it, but the cost of materials, not knowing wtf I'm doing, and being able to remove it whenever were big factors, as well as no protusions into the trunk area. Will definately look at some sort of grill for it as well.
