Hey Guys,
Been a few years since I actually posted up a build log. Only really been adding to build threads or gathering more information.
I have to say a big THANKS to DOITOR on diymobileaudio.
As he has also acquired a MKV golf and asked me a few questions.
Seeing I work on MKV's almost on a daily basis, mainly performance thou.
The idea was sparked.
So I'm finally building my own system!!!!
Here is my Setup
Head Unit : Factory VW RCD510
CAN Translator - For Remote / ACC duties
EQ : JBL MS-8 (if it still works)
Front Setup : Hertz HSK 163.4 All Active
rear : stock (if I connect it)
Subwoofers : Image Dynamics IDQ10v2D4 (BNIB)
Unsure -
Amplifiers: This is where I am a little stuck
Soundstream Nano TR680.4
E-Audio 480AB
Audison SRX 2 (channel 80 wrms x 2)
Rockford Fosgate PBR300.1
JL Audio 500/5
So this is where I'm stuck. Either use my 500/5 for sub, Tweeter and mid's.
Then use my 480Ab bridged for 380wrms for the Midbass. Leave rears disconnected.
or
TR680.4 for tweeters and mids, 480Ab for Midbass and PBR300.1 for the sub
or
Go very simply with Passive front end running off of 2 channels on the 480Ab and the 2 rear channels in 2 ohm load for each IDQ leaving rears disconnected.
If any of you have suggestions/recommendations? By all means post them up.
Otherwise lets get onto the interesting part of the thread.
First weekend of build log,

Popped out at 8:30PM tonight
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Frxi_rola%2FSounds%2FD6877CF6-25C4-4586-90D3-29C015643795_zpsazaop9rr.jpg&hash=4f5511dd52fd3d450fb8c08bc51f2e53b929d088)
I have already cleaned the excess tape off and letting it fully cure tonight.
The sub box will be 1ft3 Sealed for both 10's. In previous cars I use to run IDQ's, I found them best around 0.43ft3 per sub. So I may yet drop down to 0.9Ft3.
I have not yet decided if I create a removal top plate for the sub box.
This would mean I could run my single IDMAX10v3D4 inverted in the sealed enclosure for shows.
That's all for now. As I progress with the rest of the system I will post more pictures and info.
I think I might stop at this point.
-
Well where to begin? Losts has changed from my last update and most of my amplifier selection.
So let's begin......
I had to rebuild the top baffle board as I JUST did not have enough internal space. It was calculated to approx 0.86ft3 but really wanted 0.96ft3. So How do we fix this?
Simply really rebuild the baffle plate again. Here you can see me cutting subwoofer mounts.

It so happened to reveal, none of the gear I wanted to use would fit even remotely. So did some head scratching and some new amplifiers were chosen and a few ideas have been laid out.
So I ended up with the following amplifiers to run the system.
1 x JBL MS-8 ( located under front seat
1 x Rockford fosgate PBR300.4 (tweeters and mids)
1 x Rockford fosgate PBR300.1 ( IDQ's 330wrms @ 1 ohm)
1 x Soundstream Nanoblock 680.4 (bridged for mid bass)
Approx 240wrms per mid bass

Let me know your thoughts on the angled layout or simple straight lines??
I forgot to take some pictures while building the rear board for the subwoofer box, but this is where I ended the day well perhaps nights? Seeing it was 12:30am by the time I called it a night.
Here you guys go.

I did as well. But it turned out I just did not have enough clearance for that.
I have also incorporated more parts in that area. So will post more tomorrow.
-
got some more done this evening.
Cutting a few boards up. I have started getting a possible idea together for a removable top plate. Will reveal the information over the weekend when I had a chance to test the theory.

Finished off with the first prototype top plate this evening, It's currently an 18mm Plywood board. I will double stack the wood with an additional 14mm fibreboard wooden sheet. Which will also have a bevelled edge to allow the sub to be flush mounted.

Looking good but personally I would change the h/u to get better balance over the sound and adjustment

Ecco this... although I kept my OEM headunit and used an audison bit 10 DSP. It completely transformed the sound.
Originally I just installed the JL HD600/4, Hertz HSK 163 and JL 10W3V3 running from a AudioControl LC6i which is just a line out converter with bass level control. But I wasnt happy so tried the Audison in place of the AudioControl and it gave me so much more adjustability and completely changed the sound to more like what I was expecting from all the new hardware!
-

Yeah I feel the same. However, having put it all in with MDI and OEM Bluetooth etc.
Going after market, I just have not found a BT solution that's good enough on aftermarket that works theu the radio's RCA out.
Plus I'm not a fan of Double Din aftermarket units. Which makes it so much harder.

I'm using a JBL MS-8 as my alternative to an Audison Bit.Ten.
As much as I like the Audison. I had this laying around.
Will post a quick shot up later on, what I did in my previous MK5 GTI.
Will be testing the JBL tonight otherwise I will have to swap the EQ out for something else.
-
Next round of updates guys
I have heaps of photos to add. Which will happen later today.
In a nutshell, box is built. I had just too little airspace for the subwoofers at first.
Now rectified none of my normal sized amps even remotely fit.
So this is the final run down for the amplifiers
At this stage still using OEM radio, however I might stick my alpine 7998 in as the source.
1 x JBL MS-8 ( located under front seat
1 x Rockford fosgate PBR300.4 (tweeters and mids)
1 x Rockford fosgate PBR300.1 ( IDQ's 330wrms @ 1 ohm)
1 x Soundstream Nanoblock 680.4 (bridged for mid bass)
Approx 240wrms per mid bass
Here are two ideas for the amplifier layout as a teaser
Angled amplifiers - ignore mounting post, they will be hidden or Perspex

I'm going to try and hide as much of the
Cabling as possible.

Following.
And yes fit an aftermarket HU.
Have you seen the Pioneer ones? The one I have looks very good and I swore I'd never get an aftermarket HU owning a Mk5 for nearly 4 and half years now that takes some change!!
My bluetooth works wonderfully get in the car automatically sync can dial and browse phonebook on screen what more do you need ;)

Created the rear part of the baffle board well at least the lower part that is.
Here you go.

I did see the photo you posted in the other thread.
The issue I see here is that your Pioneer radio over here, cost more than my RCD510.
Plus my MFSW will have to work as well. As I installed all this into my car.
Will have to see how the JBL removes the dips and bumps first.
If it becomes a headache. I will swap the radio.

Got stuck back into my car on Friday night and worked thru till 5am the following morning.
Progress was slow due to finding out the hardway that only
The speaker level outputs only can be used.

For those who are interested that silver box is the 9w7 premium Bluetooth unit.
That's all for the time being I'm afraid.
Yesterday I took the day off and installed some coil overs.
Today is pretty much a write off as well for the stereo.
Doing a full detail on the car today.

Excellent job..Know what you mean bout the bloody cables :signLOL:
-
Looks like a nice tidy install, can't help but think the box is slightly small, have you worked out the size of it?
-

due to time constraints I decided to only leave the factory front running off the amplifier.
thanks, I don't however remember this wiring gig to be so labour/time intensive.
-

Originally, the box was too small, As it use to be 0.88 and with the displacement of the subwoofers I would have ended up with 0.78ft3. Which is still fine but does create a little peak frequency.
I extended the top lid to allow for exactly 1ft3 which means after the sub displacement and sound deadening to go into the box. Will leave me with approx 0.86ft3. Which is exactly what I'm after.
From personal experience I found that to be the best compromise for sound vs performance and still sound really nice.
-
Well work has been crazy, so I only had friday night and Saturday to work on the car.
Working till crazy hours in the morning to try and get the car finished for a car meet today. I'm afraid to report that it was not finished and installed in time.
Firstly, I had to re-run the RCA and speaker wires. As they where not going to fit were I wanted to install them. So now it's been re-run, Power down the left hand rear arch.
Speaker wire and RCA's down the right hand side rear arch. No photo's I'm afraid.
Then went on to install the MS-8. Which is now all installed. Just hoping for some miracle that even thou it's literally brand new, it will work!!!
Also figured out the heights of the amplifier and distribution block. So Cut down some 2x4 and the mounting base.
As for the amplifiers mounting boards? Well I had more than ample perspex left over after the window for the lid. So I cut 3 amplifier mounting boards and 1 distribution block plate.
Additionally, I drilled holes thru the distro block's mounting 2x4, so that I can hide wiring as much as possible. No photo's of this I'm afraid as my phones battery ran flat earlier in the evening.
Mounting plates at final heights first photo debut.

Here is a photo of the box wrapped. As you can see the white plates is in fact the clear perspex. Cut it down with the Router. Again no photo's I'm afraid.

Then I remembered that I forgot to add the mounting points for the Lids. So I had to work with the existing carpet and drill holes. It damaged the carpet on on side, so I had to cut the carpet off and remove. Then recover only the damaged section with a new piece of carpet. Will add photo's tomorrow.
I also had to add some mounting/location points. In which I used speaker grill clips.

At this point it well passed 1am the following morning. So decided I have to at least get the wiring done.

At this point of 3:30am, I realized my reality that the car would not be finished for a club meet the following day. So decided to have the box ready that I could install it within the next day or two.
I also still had to adjust my coil-overs and fit some wheels I borrow the following morning.
Getting up at 7:30 am after only a few hours sleep is getting the better of me. Cannot wait till it's finally over.
Unfortunately I was not able to use my garage this morning so merely adjusted the coil overs on my driveway. Had no tape measure either.
So When the coil over was adjusted I cut a piece of speaker wire up with scissors I might add. This became my template length on the other side of the car.
Guessed about 20mm should be sufficient. Needles to say, I need to lower the car another 10-15mm. Which will happen in the next few days.
The wheels where a no go. Once fitted I noticed the tires being simply way too chancy. Turns out 19x8.5 ET45 wheels fit no problem. Having 245/35/19 however made them a no go. So returned my stock 18" Monza's back on the car and left around 9am.
This afternoon, I decide to install the box to insure I could run the required cabling where I wanted to. For the most part, it went well. Until I came to install the speaker wires.They are just to short. By only 10-16cm's. That was really annoying.
So decided to call it a day. So will continue with the install in the next 2 days.
That's all for this post. But before I go, I will leave you all with this photo.
