was just going to say don't get too carried away... but it might be too late!

just been advised well...  so far!

either use a JL box or a stealthbox if you have the money... depends what you want your install to be like... (i'm still deciding) - there is also a sticky thread pointing to this forum article on doing it yourself if you have the nouse and the time.... http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?t=76606

jst thought id mention if you got a mk3 gti, expect a lot of power loss with install...power to weight ratio is a major factor to a motors speed...the aerial atom for example

i have a tiny amp, 2x 5" vibes, and the rest completly stripped out and the speed difference was jaw dropping!
