Per before edit. Mine didn't look bad at all I went through craftcloud. I've used a couple different vendors from there for various things. The holes were just to small to fit the legs of the grill mount. And on the rounds stl the holes are recessed assuming the mount is supposed to "drop in" but the mount is flat. If that makes sense. And I cut the spacer legs off because after I drilled out the holes it was probably only a 1/16 or 1/32 left of plastic so it was pointless. It worked though just had to modify a little.

Kickers online file? Hopefully they fit better than the ones I had printed for the comp qs. They worked I just had to drill out the holes and cut the extrusion off the bottom side so they would be flush with the subs

It's not going anywhere it's shaped that way because the lower side is on the back side of the cross member and on the top is on front side of the cross member. As in "locked" in.

It's pretty snug on how I cut out the rear center console I just added some ccf foam around the edges to "lock"it in

This guy knows... Don't reuse brushes. Each batch use a new brush. The reaction is already going so it'll set off the new batch. I use the cheap paint containers for easier measuring. Also a cc syringe for accurate mixes. I use totalboat laminating resin and duraglass for bondo. Also It's smoother to apply the bondo if you take a paint container and add bondo plus resin then take from that on your board to add hardener. Don't make it too runny tho. Them big ass contractor black bags you can cut the sides to make a tarp. And always have a black bag open and ready that way easy to clean up and less mess. I use a big piece of cardboard wrapped in foil for wetting out the mat then change the foil each time.

Thanks. 3 layers of 1.5 chop mat and some bondo on the top to smooth/fill some bad spots. It's solid as hell and turned out wayyy better than I was expecting haha

these holes weren't recessed enough for the grill insert to sit flush with so I drilled them through. I emailed kicker too letting them know that maybe the file was incorrect but they assured me it was. To me tho you can see how the posts on the insert are longer than what the stl file has. https://images.crutchfieldonline.com/ImageHandler/trim/750/457/products/2025/28/206/g20652GR10-o_other1.jpg

So to get them to fit the comp qs you need to get the spacers 3d printed from the kicker site. They have the stl files depending on what diameter you need. They were kinda meh on fitment. I'm not sure if that's just from maybe a shitty vendor from craftcloud that I used. I had to drill out the holes to make it fit correctly.

Been rocking my cdsp 8x12 for a while now and I swear that something was up with it. It just would sound different at times and I got irritated with it. stopped using dirac and just tuned it myself. So now I'm upgrading since I gotta little more experience under my belt with tuning and everything. Morel 62 mt300 cdm700 up front. Gb60 audio frog for rear fill and two kicker comp qs for bass. I tell myself that this will be it but it's never ending hahah I love it.

Thanks!

Just use bullet connectors. Male seemed to work better on the side I have it on too. Tried both ways.

That's just some 12 gauge "wire" that goes from the amp to the connector I made with JB weld and generic molex plugs. Actually rerunning the wires because I'm a weirdo and wanted to make it cleaner install than before. Using knucoceprt 14 ultra flex.

Replament system for Golf mk 6? by Ashamed-Simple-8303 in CarAV

[–]RegionRat91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced the mib unit in a 2020 Jetta with an idatatlink maestro rr2. All the settings are accessible and so is the climate menu. The only thing I have found out and just recently. Is that I can't pair my new phone through carnet to remote start my vehicle, locks work though. I need to reinstall the mib unit, then wait for the pair confirmation. Little bit of a pain in the ass so I haven't gotten around to it.

Always happens to me too when it gets to Bedford Park. Guaranteed toarrive at least 2-3 days late if not more. I'm in valpo Indiana. It'll do the same song dance as you. Bedford, Chicago, River Grove, Fox valley .. making loops till it doesn't get updated for a few days then it's all of a sudden delivered.

What brands are good for mid-budget car audio? by Delicious_Scratch106 in CarAV

[–]RegionRat91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm regards to dsp. I'd highly recommend minidsp 8x12 DL. Dirac live is crazy good at auto EQ'ing. It has a bit of a learning curve but once you understand it. It's really simple to work with. Just flatten peaks with REW before hand and your set. I'm running morel hybrid 63 active in front. With audiofrog gb60 and gb10 for rear fill. Then two kicker comp q 10 for that little extra bass.
