Aircooled VW South Africa

SPeaking about Bose.. my Avant came with an OEM built in Bose amp and subwoofer assembly in the left hind corner. Awesome sound. The previous owner put in a JVC headunit as well but never wired it up correctly... imagine my surprise when I hooked it up as it should be

Something like this.

my bug.... all installed by myself
centre console with only the oil pressure, oil temp and A/F mixture gauges visable, TOP of the range Alpine headunit hidden in there.
4x85WRMS Amp
2x60WRMS Amp
fronts - JBI GT 6" splits in kick panels
Rears, JBL GT 5" splits in side panels
Sub - JBL GT152 15" Sub.
Fully stealth

My Mazda... - all installed by myself, still ironing out some issues.
Stock headunit
Fosgate Hi-Lo level converter
active X-over network
2x JBL Amps - both 4x 142 WRMS
all 4 doors has a 6" JBL split
350WRMS JBL 12" sub
Fully stealth, 80% boot space still available.
Zero holes cut in car, zero mods to car for install, can be fully converted back to stock in less that 2 hours (if you know how)

Speedster:
Ipod set up................JBL 5 1/4 GTO's up front, soon to be moved to the kick panels, Clarion amp, GTO 8" sub, very wicked for a drop top.

Honda:
Same set up, just with a pioneer ipod HU, almost done..........100% of the boot still useable and I still have my spare. Just waiting on new carpets.

That is very cool

In the DarkSide I listen to the Sounds of Silence as all the audio equipment is GONE! It allows me to better appreciate the harmonious sounds coming from the Force which sounds like this
What do you think?

what sound from what force?

You getting the idea....hehehehe

What size battery do you guys suggest for a 12v alternator beetle, to run a decent instal without punishment to the alt?

630 works 100% fine...............I have one in my beetle and Honda with no issues.

A finely tuned air cooled flat for with a non-standard silencer (oxymoron) is by far more superior than any sound sytem

I dunno, stock exhaust whistle going under a bridge or through a tunnel rates higher for me.

in my first bug i had sansui 6'' up front,sansui tweeters,pioneer front loader,800w sony sub in the dog box facing the roof...runing of a blaster 1200w monoblock...i was busy with a custom fibreglass box when my bug burned out...and i agree id take the motor sound with trumpets anyday...my baja had a tape deck so i heard my motor allot even turned the window down when it was raining just to get my acvw high each day...

I'll update once I get the bus back and fit in what I've bought......!

When my bug is licensed and on the road one day, I will install my sound, that has been patiently waiting, and post pics, stealth install is planned. 2 x 6x9 pioneers, 1 x 10"pioneer sub (10" give better base over a larger range imho than say a 12"or a 15").
4 x 100watt rms amp, sony headunit and a pair of 100watt tweeters.

Anyone know where I can get the bracket to fit the radio in the glovebox ?

Hey guys, whats a better option?? Getting a sony playstation and screen, or getting a car dvd player and screen? Whats the most reliable,cheaper,safer,Quality option? Dvd player and screen 2k brand new.. PS 2nd hand R750....
