so I decided to get my stereo upgraded
when I bought the car the stereo consisted of an alpine 9833 running a pair of Phoenix Gold saphire components in the front door running off the deck, it was in serious need of an upgrade.
I have no problems installing a stereo, but all my installs have consisted of drop in components in the stock places and an mdf box of some sort in the trunk, I wanted something a bit fancier than my skills would allow so I decided to seek "professional" help.
I took my jetta to Terry (AKA underdog) at Innovation Autosports in regina
I ended up keeping the deck for now to keep costs down, but it will be replaced with something that matches the dash better later.
as for equiptment, I went with a pair of macrom extreme series 6" components, a pair of Hertz audio Hi-energy series 8 inch woofers, a pair of Aura sound Bass shaker Pro's and a JL audio 500/5 amp to power it all.

Will hand made the front grilles from an old chunk of aluminum and a paif of focal grills he modified and put the macrom "M" on.
he also sandwiched a plexi ring between the spkrs and grills with red LED's mounted in it so it glows red at night and matches the dash lighting. It also glows red around the subs and amp too.
I got them to install my AEM wideband in the ashtray and relocate my OBD II port under the heater controls in the factory Euro spot so it's a little easier to do data logging with vagcom.
they put my cobalt egt gauge in a dual column pod with the cobalt boost gauge and I got my windows tinted too
the front doors were also treated to a couple layers of cascade Vblock sound deadner, I did a layer of brown bread in the trunk with what was left of my shop roll before I took it in.
I forgot to take pics of the gauges and night lighting, but I'm 800km away from it now so I'll get some later.
sorry for the novel, I'm at work so I'm bored and missing my car
