THIS SYSTEM DIAGRAM WAS MADE BY JOSE
A.K.A global_groove6 a very talented guy.

The midbass speakers are in the doors and the mids are in custom kick panel builds with the tweeters in the a-pillars.
The amp, sub, eq, cap are in a custom made boot (trunk) floor build.

UPDATE 2002/2003

I now have two Genesis dual mono amps running the system (2x150rms) and (1x550rms).

Some system build-up pics.

This was a first attempt at the roof sound damping pads these were put here for the only reason the roof 'pinged' when it rained and it was driving me mad in the winter. I removed them in the summer and replaced it with dynamat extreme. I thought i may have had trouble with the smaller sections falling off over time but with temps of 25 degree C there was no problem with it at all.

Sound dampening pads on the side panels in the rear to get the dreaded 'ping' sound away there was no need to go overboard with dynamat extreme here as there was no speakers anywhere near these panels. You can also see the foam road noise deadening pad (gray foam) thats standard in VW polo's I borrowed this from a family members VW Polo lol. You can see my custom made foam pad in the lower section of the panel to stop road noise coming up through the sill to behind the panel. This helped alot.

This is the shape and start of the build for the Genesis amp mounting panel for the right side of the boot there's also a mirror image one on the other side of the boot for the other amp.
As can be seen there's 3 cooling fans 2 in and one out. 2 intake the air from the boot and then the extractor fan feeds the air out through the stale air outlet in the boot. The amp panels are made from 18mm MDF and the amp mounting section were the amp sits into is made from 6mm MDF with a 3mm Steel backing section for added strength. I went this route as i wanted to keep the intrusion into the boot to a minimum.

This is the panel mounted in the car on the custom made boot floor panel. The boot floor panel can clearly be seen in development and the spare wheel well houses the sub box and eq module as well as the fuse distribution (not shown)

This is the left hand side panel for the boot for the other Genesis amp. It is a mirror copy of the right hand side one.
Full length trim panels of 6mm MDF with 4mm glass windows for the amps cover the amp support panels for a more stealth blended in quality look.
