How did you go about doing this? Did you just wing it or are there guides that show you how to remove everything?

I found some advise from VWvortex and golfmkv.com forums.
Hardest part is to take the center console off. It comes out in four or five different pieces. But it's not impossible

Long time no see!

Here is my conclusion for this topic.

I compete this season in EMMA Finland and managed to win finnish championship in Experienced Unlimited-class. The guy who came second after me, won the European Championships month later in Rotterdam.
I wasn't able to go to the Euro Finals because lack of money and time...

I ended up to shrink my setup from 3-way to 2-way.
Here's what I used:

HU: Alpine IVA-W205R
Pros: Alpine PXA-H700
High: ground Zero Plutonium GZPM 60SQ 2,5" Full Range
Mid: ground Zero Plutonium GZPC 16P 6,5"
Sub: Ground Zero Uranium GZUW 300SQ 12"
Sub amp: Ground Zero Uranium GZUA2225SQ
High amp: Ground Zero Uranium GZUA4125SQ

AIV Black Moon signal cables and AIV Silverstream cables for speakers.

Unfortunately I was so in hurry to finish my installs for the competitions, I didn't take too many pics. And I didn't find any good ones from the net, so here is all that I can offer:

Midbass enclosure fabrication




Full ranges were in sealed boxes and were installed in triangles.
I installed FR's so that I could easily adjust them allmost every angle I wanted.
Too bad I don't have any good pics of them. They just to be attached to a metal pole which you can adjust from both ends.




I wanted to keep the trunk as empty as possible. I didn't make the fake floor full, because I want to give some free space to the amps to cool. Those babys just to go very very hot.




I'm very sorry for the lack of pics.

I were very happy with the sound of this build, but didn't like the installation. It was poor.
I hated that I had to make installs in a hurry and have to do shortcuts. Next project will be better, I promise!

Nowadays Rabbit is ripped out and I'm going to sell her soon. Next car will be a VW too, but which model, it's going to be a surprise

Hope to see ya all soon.

Thanks.
Jussi.

That there requires a level of commitment on par with getting married.
