Looks pretty good! I've never even tried to do temp monitors or
anything like that before because I'm largely ignorant when it comes to
anything with chips, ic's, etc, so much respect on that. I am very
familiar with Jettas and made a box for my old Jetta (before the red
one) that looked very much like that, so needless to say I am a big fan
of that type of box. I also like the stock-like look.

How do the square ports sound? Never tried those before... As far as
brand goes, I'm not really one for JBL, but it's what *you* like that
matters.

Your wheels look much better than the ones on my 97 Jetta GT - blech!

Unfortunately, I had to get rid of the car to make room for the 540i
wagon. I'm going to run pretty much the same setup, but I'm changing to
Genesis Profile amps (tube amps WAY too big). I'm also going with a
Dynaudio woofer in a sealed box because the AVI won't fit where I want
it. Not having any free time in the last year is driving me nuts,
because the stereo in the BMW is absolutely horrible by any standard.
You can get to see the progress, assuming there is any, by following the

Thanks for the nice comments, much appreciated. If I can offer any
advice or anything, just lemme know.

Nice gear, nice gear!

That smoke wagon (subwoofer) is a little on the small side for my taste, but
Dynaudio and Phaze tube amps, pretty damn nice. I bet it sounds SWEET.

Sorry for hacking on you, dude. My first install was a lot like that and
I was damn proud of it. It just wasn't a 5-star install.

Thanks!!!!!
I'm glad you like my work!!
To be perfectly honest the square ports don't sound any different from
round ports. There might be some sound difference when one gets more
wattage in their system, but I doubt it. From my perspective they
were only different from PVC pipe in that they were more of a pain in
the butt to line up and paint...
I love the wheels too, but cannot take any credit for them - they came
with the car when I bought it.
Thank you again!

Heh, thankfully I can't take the credit for my GT wheels, either. "They
came with the car" is your reason, but my excuse! :-)

How long have you guys been installing? I started at 16 on my own car
and started with side jobs at 17. At ~21 I installed professionally for
a bit under three years. (Hence the tube amps and Dyn setup - employee
purchase deals!)

Heh, depends on what you would count...
If you count my first car - where I threw two house speakers (towers
and all) in the trunk of my '82 Ford Fairmont, and wired up my first
aftermarket tape deck - then I've been installing for about 10 years.
If you count only from your first decent* installation, I've probably
only been doing this for around 5 years...
~Mister.Lull
*My definition of decent in this case = using only stereo equipment
designed for vehicles, and not having wires running all over hell and
back (visibly).
