How the HELL can you put that many pieces of equipment, expensive equipment, in the boot looking like THAT!! Now I see why professional was in quotes! I forgot to say your the best! You put the pro in professional! Nice job as always!

This is what a pro does . Makes tough jobs look simple Another great teaching video

This video showcases the incredible transformation of a car's audio system done by professionals. From start to finish, it's an amazing demonstration of their skills and expertise. I love how they were able to create such an immersive sound experience with high-quality equipment. It's truly inspiring to see the difference that good installation can make. 🚗🎶 #CarAudioInstallation #Transformation #SoundSystem #QualityEquipment

Oh my dear lord I feel for you bud........ I'm noooo where near your level of knowledge but even my stuff is way better than what you started with here. Thanks to you I'm getting even better... so thank you!

Another PSsound smile

Hi Peter, just followed your channel for 10 days and found all I have watched very informative and addictive. Your big fan now. Thanks for creating very good contents.

Miss my mk4 golf too. They are timeless and love the interior colours in this one. We didn't get 2 door GTI in Australia I don't think just r32s. Mk4 forever even though I'm in a 7.5 R ❤❤

"The deadening brings it forward" These guys 🤣🤣🤣

I can't remember the last time I saw a glass AGU fuse that passed all the voltage it was supposed to...that's usually one of the problems we see with budget installs...that and CCA wire make for a bad day. lol

No comments 🙈, but Pssound fixed all that mess again Big transformation in a short time 👍

Awesome job!!

Great work fixing this nightmare!

Very cool!!!

That’s a fire waiting to happen!

Great fix.

Nice And that mk4 looks great 👌👌💪

Shocking! Didn't take long to find the installer on insta. ,🤣

Can't tell if this is a real 25th Anniversary Edition GTI, or just has some of the bits from one, but it's a bit of a blast from the past for me. I had a GTI 337 Edition (US Version of the 25th AE) with a decent system in it that I built myself back in the day, so that trunk and the inside of those doors looks quite familiar to me. Personally I did a 12 inch MB Quart PW-304 sub moulded into the front rounded section of the spare tire well in fiberglass, with an amp rack built onto the back of the sub enclosure for a McIntosh MC431 feeding a 6.5 inch Quart Q set in the factory possitions. The Qs had (GASP!) MDF mounting rings because nobody knew any better back then, LOL! Fabircation techniques have improved a lot over the years. Finally there was an MMATS 600.1 for sub duty. Also had an Alumapro 15 farad cap in that bottom later of the amp rack, back when we thought those actually did something. Headunit was an Eclipse with built in crossover, time alignment, and DSP functionality and 4V outs. I built a thickish perforated steel cover for the sub/amp rack that formed the new load floor, and installed black loose-weave carpet over that to allow sound and heat through but conceal the contents. Only raised the load floor by about a half inch, and worked perfectly. Got worried the Mac was going to cook itself though, because the fitment was a little tight, so I replaced it with a US Amps TU-600, which a sales guy talked me into trying because he wanted to hear one by cutting me a wicked deal on it. Imagine my shock when that TU-600 sounded worlds better than the Mac did. LOL! Went down 100 watts in rated power, and felt like we had doubled the actual power output. Sadly a coworker backed into the car, and the body shop missed that the cabin pressure vent in the rear left corner was cracked when it went in for repairs. The next big rain we got, the trunk nearly filled up with water and torched everything but the sub and the TU-600, which was mounted up top in the Amp rack. If the owner of this car should ever have a minor ding on the back end, I highly recommend they make sure that cabin pressure vent is checked. It's just below the taillight assembly if memory serves, behind the bumper.

Excelente

I'm a DIY'er installer (only do my own cars) and I was shocked at that previous installation.. Where's the PRIDE in their work, or don't they have any??

How did that crap not go up in smoke? Peter saved you a car bruh.

No fuse distribution?? wow! that's car fire waiting to happen

excellent primary install - the owner believes in god, not fuses 😁😆😂 Peter - well done as always!

I guess I only need an equalizer and sound deadening for delay. Who needs a DSP. LOL

What is that metal mix that you use in the front factory speaker pods?

Amp installation would make it to our 'Friday Fail' posts....🤣 Fan trying to cool the oven???

This is a reference hack install.. showing how low the bar can be set... 🤣🤣

Does one not separate audio and power since the power cables create an elektromagnetic field around them?

12:53 The sad thing is the grille can be removed from those pods to grind and fit the aftermarket tweeters. Even Hertz offers 0.75 inch tweeters. Glad y'all decided to pick up this project for rescue.

even when I was 14 or 15 running car audio in my mustang wasn't even legal to drive yet . my wiring might have been shabby but even then my mess would sound amazing... That ground tho👀 wtf

Hi Peter, just a quick question about distribution blocks. Is there any downside of using a fused distribution block for ground connection? Should i machine a solid block to act as a fuse or just use regular ANLs? Mega content as always by the way.

Once again another car audio save. Do you have a video on tweeter aiming?

Nice work, as always a pleasure to watch. May I ask if you have only stereo front (two midbass and two tweeters) and one sub in the back, do you need them tuned or time aligned? Is such setup simple enough that it doesn’t need any tuning. Do I need to buy the tuning equipment and tune it? I will appreciate any help. Thanks!

Saw that Victron controller for the Lithium. How are you liking that kind of separation and control over two different power supplies?

What is the "steel mix" you used for the factory speaker bracket?

did you record the tuning process for this?

How come you went with an XT connector for the subwoofer instead of using banana plugs? Cambridge Audio do some nice tight fitting ones.

Oh my....

Imagine ppl have to pay to get that crap work done. Nice clean up Peter

So..... no 5 farad capacitor laying on top of the amps??😂 What a mess!!

Can you tell me what the problem is when you hear alternator whine? I have a Hyundai hybrid and I can hear the whine, sometimes I think it’s amplified in my teeeters

Nice save. Not even close to difficult to do what you guys did to that car. Like you said, some guys just need to stop doing Car Audio. That was horrid wiring. I despise rat nest and spaghetti wiring.

Are you willing to disclose how much the original shop charged the customer for the botched job? Or a rough estimate of what a normal shop would charge for something like this (but with better practices)? Just curious, and thanks for all the info and help so far!

The Comments were on 69 I'm really sorry for my comment 😔 but new Subscriber here!

Strange those don't deliver bass in that door. My golf4 and passat b5.5 have so much bass from cheaper drivers than those Mile hmmm

LOL

Shit like that annoys me...They're happy to take a man's hard earned cash to just throw it in like that...

When you open the trunk you think they made a Gulasch soup

You used open cell foam for the midbass That will not work as intended to give sound direction out of the door. The sound will bounce around inside the door card You have to use closed cell foam

Why anyone uses mdf in car doors is beyond me. 🤮

Call the fire department, risk of fire. Completely unsafe installation.

its worse then I thought!

Looks like a little kid did the work wiring the amps what a joke. This guy paid to have this done??? Poor guy got ripped off.
