You should practice building a proper boot build and send me the results when it looks good!  :wink:

And why's that? LOL! If I'm honest, I've never done anything in that kind of area before, but I'll have alot of time free during the summer as my Uni course will be finished :) at least for the summer lol! So I can't imagine it's to hard to make a build, just a but time consuming, but the results are a clean and tidy boot install, and if I intend on changing my car in October, I can just transfer everything over to the new Golf :)

Hell yea dude! I'm not unfamiliar with fibre glass either so should be good to go, but for now;



Aside from a small hitch with a blown 30A fuse (Cpt. Numbnuts not disconnecting his battery! :rolleyes:)

All is well, it's better than I had thought to be honest! :D

Both Sub (in box) & Amp were eBay bargains, the wiring (proper amp kit) came from a wrecked MK3 in the scrappy & the only things I bought new were the 30A fuses & 'Heavy Duty' Velcro tape. :afro:

The velcro holds a treat, will stick with it until I change things round in the future.

Thanks all! :D

I know bugger all about fibreglass, but if you wanted, you could make two shells from the fibreglass to make it easier when I come over ;)
