Nothing special? Jeeze some amount of work gone into that.

Love everything about it bar the 6x9's i hate them with a passion, ruin the sound stage and in combination with a sub will get f****d as the air from the sub will push the cones.

But for pure streetbass (which aint my thing) tasty stuff

that really is a nice car, with a great, subtle install!

I like the euro styling of the car, where else can I get pics of some more cars like that? I really want to do it with my Mk3, but need to see some pics before I do it!

Thanks

Tom

Just found this from around the forum, i think i will build myself a little false floor.

Bit off topic, but whats the best way to mount a amp on the back of the seats?

with screws lol

stuart_hatch · Post by **stuart_hatch** » Sun Jun 05, 2005 12:07 pm

So just screw it straight onto the back of the seats?

I thought that amps arnt supposed to touch metal parts of the car?

you could put rubber gromets on there but mine was fine.... i was going to have my amps on the back of the seat but you cannt see them if you want to show them off

this may seem a bit of a stupid question, but where do you put your shopping?

and surely you loose a lot of acceleration with that much weight in the back?

stuart_hatch · Post by **stuart_hatch** » Sun Jun 05, 2005 2:11 pm

That is a good question, id assume back seats would do for shopping, and yes the car does drive differntly with heavy subwoofers and amps in the boot. But you cant have it all can you!

My polo is a diesel so im not going to be going as fast and as they have more torque than a petrol so the effect isnt as bad.

For my boot install i am building a false floor which all the amps etc will go underneath, i am also going to go build a box to go over the subwoofer in the boot for when i need to carry things in the boot

Not much, but it sounds great. Amplifier mounted on the bench with screws and rubber grommets. I, unlike others, need my boot space. Whether it be my mum's shoppin' in the boot, or it be a load of crap thrown in the back for a day out with the lads. Music in my car essential but I've got to have boot space too!

lol in all the time i had the polo, including throughout the student time when i was getting all my own food in , the number of times i used the boot for it could count on one hand i think

3 door car with yourself as solo driver it may as well go in the passenger footwell (where you can keep an eye on delicate items and it wont fly about when you brake hard) or behind the seats - sometimes you dont even have to tilt em. it's easier than faffing with the boot, especially if you're parked in a funny spot at either end. Plus you cant honestly say the polo boot is all that large even for shopping purposes. Better than a lupo (where you probably cant get a weeks worth of groceries in) but still pushing it.

nice looking install anyway (best i ever managed was a stealth shelf thats recently fell apart) and christ, how big are those speakers on that link??
