Took me awhile to figure out if I wanted the footwells lights Blue or White LEDs. I thought blue would of been too much blue since the rest of the interior lights are blue. Considering these lights come on automatically when the headlights turn on, it was a no brainer on what color to swap them out to.

Ordered 4/9 and just received today, I'm one excited mf. Totally worth the wait as always, still waiting on my enclosure though. But no more words and on to the pictures of the Fi Neo 4.7 15" D2.

Wired up and ready to go

Just needs to be rolled on and the trunk is fully deadened to my liking. I have two sheets left to do front doors and top of rear deck if and when I pull it apart. 

A little volt meter action, since the cigarette 12v socket only comes on with the car I thought this would be a great fuse to use.

 

 

Have you skinned your shins yet?

No I haven't and to be honest with you, I did all the time in my Sonata. The one plus to this VW the under dash sits up very high from the floor. The car is taller than the Sonata for sure, way more leg and foot room. I was kinda cramped in the Sonata and I only wear a 12. 

Just got back from picking up this beautiful enclosure, plexi glass etched with Fi and a hidden LED strip. I'll get daytime shots in the morning

Nice color glow.

Thanks Aaron I appreciate that.

Some daytime shots

Close up on the Plexi window and the LED strip.

Playing with the LEDs while I get the wires attached to the enclosure and holes sealed up.

I used the drill battery to run the LEDs to see what they can do.

Sub not wired or screwed down but I had to tease myself some.

Sub wire is mounted to the top of the inside of the enclosure for a cleaner look, I also moved the jumper wires around so they won't be visible in the Plexi Glass window. Sub is wired up and screwed down.

Until I find someone who can customize my doors when I'm ready to add the Eric Stevens MB8s, I ordered some 6.5”s. These Faital Pro 6PR160s are just beautiful and made with quality parts. The build quality is immaculate 

LOVE the enclosure!  How are you running the mids (power and bandwidth)?

 

Very nice setup

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Mids will be bridged on my Audio Control LC6.1200, it does 400watts @ 4ohms bridged. Mids are 8 ohms. Bandwidth will be about 80hz - 1200 or 1500hz. I haven't decided all that yet but that's a starting point.

Some wire clamp downs, wiring still isn't permanent. I have to take her to a shop to get the DSP hooked up to the factory amplifier. Once that is done, then all the wiring will get done properly.

WHAT?  Why does a shop need to do it?  Need to reprogram something?  Fucking VAGs!

Fuck this Fender Audio stuff, is the short answer. It won't allow me to tap into or get great signal using a DSP. I have to get a Navtv Gen V unit to throw in between the radio and amp to get signal. My DSP doesn't have an optical input as well. But the shop is going to install my horns, build speaker brackets for all 4 doors and as well was run wires to the molex connectors for me. I felt comfortable doing it in the Hyundai but not the VW. On top of that I can't find a lick of wiring diagrams for this car, another can of worms to deal with as well. 

Woke up this morning and deadened the front door panels, picture is of driver side and both panels done the same.
