    I've made a few topics with questions and concernes for my install on my GTI, and thanks to everyone i've gotten alot of answers and the install is starting, slowly but surely I'm shooting to be "finished" by mid Septemeber. So ill just post pic's as I go along. Criticism expected as always , although compliments done hurt either.

    First thing i wanted to do was get those stock speakers out. Using stock tweeters for now until i install the amp. Used a guide in the FAQ to make these.




    Second thing was the deck, got sick and tired of CD's after a week



    Cant forget your bluetooth!



    Tweeter time!







    That's it for now, expect more every weekend!

    only real issue i see is with the bluetooth mic. On the side of the mic there are little inlets that help with noise cancelling and echo reduction, on yours they are not "accessible"

    He has Infinity Kappa components 6.09cs (I have the same ones), great speakers IMO.

    This is true, I like them very much. I've been a fan of Infinity for a long time. With these components you just have to be careful with aiming that tweeter. Very clean sound if mounted correctly.

    Correct, these tweeters are NOT for on axis positioning. They also, given their construction, are a little bright. With proper tuning and EQ adjustments you should be good to go.

    What material did you use on the tweeter housings and was it very hard to make them? I have an extra set of tweeter housings and would like to do the same thing for my Polk tweeters. Your install looks clean man, I like it.
