Hey everyone, I'm going to introduce myself since I didn't start out on the right foot. I'm Justin Batista, 21 years old. I'm a full time student at a community college, and I'm working full time for Coffee Bean Direct (check em out!) Anyway, to give you guys the scoop. Basically I joined this site to sell my audio equipment. Started 'post dumping' So I made this account, because I didn't want to sign in with Facebook anymoe. I wanted to actually gain knowledge, and learn things that I couldn't understand. I bought my Volkswagen GL 1996 2.0 and realized how boring it was. So I hit up Kevin, the old owner of Atmosphere Audio, after researching for weeks! Talked to him and ending up dropping like 5 grand on everything. I also linked up with the guy who installed it all for me (who now owns my 96' VW.) Awesome guy. http://www.customaudiovideoinstallation.com/ . Long story short, the weight in the car was just bothering me from all the equipment. I got Vmaxx coilovers, had it sittting beautiful. Then I realized I wanted a nice turbo'd car so I'm not lugging around equipment that I can barely move. I had the guy from Serious About Sound uninstall everything, and he ended up buying my VW from me for $1,800 with the coil overs on it; for his brother. (Car now has 190,000 and runs beautiful he said) Well now is where I run into the problem. I have a 2001 5 door hatchback 1.8t with a Frankenturbo, Big Green 440cc Injectors, CAI, 3" Downpipe, and Unitronics stage 2++. I honestly have close to no knowledge when it comes to installing sound equipment into cars. But if you guys are willing to help me along the way I can get my beautiful sound system back in tact. In my 96' which I had all the equipment set up for Daily Driving, not competition. I placed 2nd at VW waterfest and got 147.9db. The host was Scott, from DC Audio. He hosts a bunch of sound events. As of now, I need to fix my hood, my bumper, my front left fender, and I need tires. (Don't ask. lol) So basically I need all of this. If you guys are wondering and can't tell from the pics. 2 12" Atmos Audio Exo's, Massive Audio RK6 components, Powerbass Extreme Class D 8,000 amp, you guys can see the rest. There's also a Mechman Alt for a 96 VW custom fabricated lol.. to go into this.. And I most definitely need help, because I can't even get the door speakers in.. I can't fit the plastic door cover back on, because the speakers stick out too much.. Lastly. I need tools. I literally have nothing, so I appreciate every little bit of help.. The madness behind this is so I can actually obtain knowledge with stereo equipment, and save a shit load of money on paying random people to install.. I'm located in Phillipsburg, NJ if anyone wants to swing by and give me a hand. (as far as I know the box is tuned to 32hz, err was..) Love, Jut.

Build thread it issssss.!

or should I just make a build thread.. begging for help in the area.. lol! not just to save money.. Cause I seriouslyyyyy wanna be able to install and un install sound equipment in the future.

lol thanks for answering. Stilll not gonna stop me from COMING ON HERE! nate i hope some day we can get a long. you seem like an alright guy. I don't wanna say too much I'll be at 10grand before I know it.. haha Anyway.. I'm at super beginner level with installing any sound equipment. I'm seriously trying to avoid going to a shop and getting everything installed since I don't think the box was right that he made.. but it does fit perfect.. Want pics?

nahh. I love those speakers. I haven't heard much better and I've been to a couple shows.

dont have a jigsaw..

Well me and my buddies were out back, and we door the door apart, took the speaker out.. The RK6 fit in the hole, it just stuck out too far, the plastic door cover wouldn't have fit back onto the door. I have no fabrication experience either..

Can someone please help me.. I have no clue what to do... I'm really trying not to have it professionally installed. I wanna learn how to do the stuff by myself. But I'm limited on tools, and knowledge lol.. I have a 2001 VW GLS.

I'm lost.. Enjoyed the reading though.. I was hoping to find out if someone had a biased opinion on the DC's > Fi BL's but unfortunately that never happened.. Lol best of luck either way mate.

Hey, I registered my original account through facebook, how do I 'abandon' my original. Also why does this account have -5,000 posts?
