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

Another PSsound smile

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 ❤❤

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

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

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!

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

Awesome job!!

That’s a fire waiting to happen!

Great work fixing this nightmare!

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

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.

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

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??

Nice And that mk4 looks great 👌👌💪

Thanks Marcel, it's my pride and joy. Have owned it for 19years. Peter has totally transformed the system.

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.

Great fix.

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

Every speaker needs tuning in a car, but you’ll probably needs help of a professional who can do it. It’s not like you just buy the equipment and you can tune.

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.

@pssound9749

If you have to have a fused one for ground too, then use solid links instead of fuses or the largest ANL fuses possible.

There’s no 2 different supplies. System runs from the lithium battery, which is topped up by the Victron charger.

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.

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

@pssound9749

11 ай бұрын

Because XT leaves zero chance for shortage when it’s unplugged as opposed to banana plugs. Speak-on connector is another safe option, just larger in size, hence less practical for installation in a car.

Hi, Usually it can be 3 things and most possibly in the following order 1. Bad ground point between HU and amps 2. Faulty equipment 3. Poor RCA 4. Faulty alternator

I didn't really have an issue with midbass in my Golf 4 either. For the time, it was actually quite good. Times do change though.

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!

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

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.
