My beetle build -56K warning

[tossi]

This is my picture thread of my beetle build I bought the car 3 years ago in germany, as there only where 4 TDI for sale here in DK, so a small trip to germany and i has the proud New Beelte owner, the plan at that time was a small car audio build so the car could be ready the next year.
But as i started on the project it just became bigger and bigger and i kept getting new ideas on what to do with the car, so it ended up with being a 3 year build with very part of the car modified.
The idea in the project all along was that it should still be a New Beetle, so i tried to stay loyal to the design of the NB so no wild body kits but just some modifications to highlight some of the bodylines.

New pics of the finshed result at page 7

The list of things i have to do outside is long, but nothing wild but lot of small things.


Start of the caraudio build




This is the new airchannel



The original airintake for the airconis moved outside to make room for speakers


















First time sound, just to find the angel for the midrange and tweeter


The amps













I have a lot more pics at my home page Installationsbilleder Henrik and in the next 6-8 weeks hopefully the car will be done

At first i thought that it was completely impractical and way too over the top.

Then I looked at the other build pics and i saw what i thought i saw. Morel. If i spent that much money on speakers, i'd want them all right in my face too. It's just all way too beautiful!

[tossi]

i a way you are right, its not that practical and maybe a bit over the top. But i wanted to make a non compromise install, to get the most out of the 30000$ sound system(without navi and ekstra screens) but did i know how long it would take to build it i would never have started...But now its almost done so now its the car, with styling paint ect.

[DannyRandomState]

Wow! at first I thought you were going to do a one off dash. A sub in your face, that should get your heart going for sure. Looks sweet

[Buglover]

Farout man! Thats some serious work

[LadybugEwa]

Please don't cheap-out on the paint. Finish this as well as you started and it will be truly impressive. I'm thinking it's good that Denmark is such a low-crime country. There's some places you wouldn't dare to do this for fear of having your windshield smashed

[tossi]

Nice that im not the only one that like it
The paint, will be the orginal blue but with some gold flakes, the inside will be all leather and alcantara. My only problem right now is to finde a 20" chrome rim that i like and will fit the car.
I dont know if the crime is that low in Denmark, but i live in a quiet part, but wee still have a lot of guys from Poland that comes and nick your cars and caraudio But i just hope that they dont nick my car or caraudio.

[NBTurboFreak]

That is just crazy and I love it.

After some days off are there some new pics, some body work and Dynamat
























see the rest of the pics here http://www.teamaudison.dk/installati...ederhenrik.htm

[DannyRandomState]

Truely impressive! There should be little to no road noise with all that sound deadening.

Progress looks great!

[tossi]

Thanks not that there are much roadnoise in a beetle normaly, but hopefully it will be close to non I have used 5 bulk pack and i still need, doors and hood and all the plastic parts

[katwalk]

that's one heck of a mod there O.O

[AceJay]

Holy crap, that's insane.

[SMG]

Make sure you replace your pollen filter before you get everything hooked up.

[LadybugEwa]

I like that you're not cheaping out
It must have cost a bundle for all that dynomat, but it'll sound nice

[b-double-e]

now thats wicked bro!
how many miles on her?
look forward to seeing things go back in!

[PhoenixRising]

Far out.

[Fowvay]

I've often wanted to dynomat my 1970 like that. It's the loudest car I've ever been in. So loud in fact that at 70mph I can't hear my 200W Stereo.

[tossi]

The pollen filter is moved outside and replaced with a KN filter from a motorcycel, so that it would be easy to change

Normaly it would cost a lot with all that Dynamat, but I helped one of my friends to strat up Dynamat in Denmark coupels of years ago, so i have some good deals on it
We did an old BMW last year and I was just blown away over have quiet i got after that, so it really helps and it dosnt have to be so extrem as in my car.

She only has 71000 miles on the clock so thats nothing

[tossi]

After a weekends hard work there are some new pics


























So now all the sound damping are more or less done, i only need the front doors
