Custom Spare-Tire subwoofer box, 10" sub, amp, line converter, & component speakers

jikhead · 07-20-2013, 06:20 PM

I've been sitting on my stereo parts for half a year now thinking I was going to utilize the equipment in my Golf R. However, I've gone this long and I have no idea when or even if I'll ever use the parts; the stock stereo in my R sounds pretty good (10x better than the Bose system). If anyone is interested in the following let me know.

custom spare tire subwoofer box that I built; fits 10" shallow mount subwoofer
* It is unfinished; you can paint or put carpet on it. Pics are in my profile.
Pioneer 10" shallow mount subwoofer TS-SW2501S4
Alpine MRP-F300
*I sent 2 channels to the fronts and bridged the rear 2 channels to power the sub.
Pioneer TS-D1720C 6 3/4" component speakers
*Includes my custom brackets for the Touring model. Ask some of the other members; I believe I was the first to make these for the Touring!?!
*Also includes home-made tweeter brackets; they may be cheezy but they work.
*All speakers are drop-in ready; no modding.
AudioControl LC6 6-channel line output converter
*Used to clean up the Bose 2-ohm signal and get a flat signal to output to the amp.

This is a complete package that complements the stock Bose stereo. You get much better lows in the doors, better highs from the tweeters, still get the fill-in behind the seats with the stock rear speakers coming off the Bose amp, and then much better (and cleaner) boom from the sub throughout the car.

Entire package $350 +shipping.

I've taken a few pics. Please buy these from me! If I don't have any takers after a couple of weeks; they'll likely be going up on Ebay.

To which part are you referring to? Everything would work. I would point out that the AudioControl really wouldn't be necessary for you; you could still utilize it for cleaning up the signal but you wouldn't require it. It was a requirement with the Bose system due to the 2 ohms of the Bose stereo. You also wouldn't utilize my speaker spacers. You would need the round ones from Zenclosures.com. The sub & box would fit no different than the Touring model; the spare tire is the same size.

Bumping this up. I still have all these parts laying around and need to sell them. They are available as separate pieces if you are wanting any, and I'm taking any offers.

The 6 3/4" components w/crossover, I need to locate those speakers.

Would that sub enclosure fit my Base model spare tire. I'm looking for a Sport spare since I upgraded to the Akebonos, but for now I have the base spare.

My 2009 Touring model had a temporary tire/wheel, and I had the sub enclosure sitting inside the wheel. If you have the same wheel or a full size wheel, then it would sit inside of the wheel.
