Out with the old, in with the new! 01' GLS-GTi

[Tujik]

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.
