Sorry to know that your LC isn't working properly. Can you still return it and get your money back?

Can you consider getting a LC Audison Bit Ten? It seems it's what can improve a lot your sound quality, for what I read. I'm too ignorant about this to be any helpful. :sad1:

I wish I could do half of what you've done so far. I do like to work with tools but I'd need some guidance for the 1st times. :smiley:

Bought it off ebay second hand. I will have a look at the bit ten. I think the main problem is that i have no rear speaker signal unless i change the settings with vagcom. Then i am sending low level inputs to the LOC which is wrong.

I will look at the bit 10.

Just get stuck in mate. Watch a lot of youtube and learn as you go along. Just bought a welder cant wait.  :drool:

Not making much progress with this boot build.
Fans are in (not wired up yet).
Added quick connectors to the power/speaker wires.
Wrapped the base with some scraps of vinyl.

Still working on the boot build.
Tried my best to tidy the wires.
Cut the top layer of wood to cover the perspex below.

Started to make the top look pretty. f*cked up the wrapping of one of the corners. Must resist ripping it off and redoing it.

Pushing on. Really had enough now. Cutting a circle in perspex is an absolute PITA.

Got the thermostat in. 21 deg lol.
Started messing with some lighting. Will need a lot more LED strips by the looks of it.
Still need to stick the three layers of the false floor together can see this being a nightmare as its a very tight fit.

Thanks mate. I think i've gone a bit OTT with this. Will make me smile when i put the shopping in the boot. It sounds pretty good too. Wish i had gone with a better sub though.

A little more progress doubt i will ever finish this.

LED's are in. Added a switch for the LED's.

You can see in the bottom pic i made an insert to cover the perspex. Sorry no pics my flash died.

Still need to recut the perspex piece. I'm going to buy more vinyl and re trim everything  :sad1:

Thanks mate.

Its a pity i've ripped the vinyl in a couple of places. Was going to fill it in with a permanent marker but due to my OCD will have to re-trim it.

Shopping keeps ending up in the sub  :sad1: so started work on a grill.

Made myself a little router table which really helped.
