And on the inside of the door directly where the speaker was going to be installed:
All done:
INSTALLATION OF SPEAKERS
Time to install these bad boys JL Audio ZR650s. These were a breeze to install in the passat as no cutting of the door was required as is required in the e46 I had previously:
Wanted these to be installed on an mdf ring to create a nice anchor for the speakers to fit in and so that they were pushed as far out of the doors as possible as I wanted the speaker sitting as close to the grill as possible to get maximum mid bass into the car:
The rings and were painted black:
All completed:

Next was the boot. All the interior was stripped out:
Dynamat extreme was added to the right side of the boot:
And the left side:
Top of the boot:

Next was the cabling. Decided on 0 gauge cabling for the amps:
Battery was taken out first:
Power cable was pushed through the existing wiring loom:
Side panels were taken off:
Power lead was cable tied the existing wiring to keep it nice and tidy:
