      i can understand that.

      so car audio huh? I've been having some thought on that recently...

      In all serious. Feel free to PM me if you ever need help picking out any equipment or have any questions. I am not an expert but I can do my best to try and help.

      Head Unit Pioneer P99RS

      3 Runs of 1/0 OFC Power and 3 Runs of 1/0 OFC Ground

      1 XS Power D3400 & 2 XS Power XP3000 with Copper Bus Bars

      380 Amp & 320 Amp Iraggi Alternators(One is a chevy case, the other ford)

      Exile X5 (for sale) running 2 12 inch Ascendant Audio Mayhems

      Tuned to 36 hertz. About 4.5 cubic feet, 8" Aeroport

      Audison LRx 6.9k on Morel MDT-29, RS100-4 & RS225-8 Daytons

      Jetta Mk2 ( I have about $6000 I believe invested in the audio. Just the audio. I did all the work so far myself. but the car isn't done yet)

      I got the HU used but looks Mint for $820. (its the most expensive single DIN HU you can get. Has so many features, dual 31 band equalizers, 4 way active and more)

      2nd alternator is going in this year.

      The Exile X5 amp is a 5,000 watt amp. I have a guy on a payment plan right now to buy it. I am going to pick up either a 7k or 8k amp.

      The box is currently an Aeroport set up. I am going to hopefully play with a Passive Radiator set up this summer.

      Audison 6 channel to run my 3 way front stage.

      Here is a video from last year when I got the sub stage done. Power wasn't all the way up. But that's a taste of what it can do. And I switched to a different set of subs. But it still sounds like crap because I haven't redone the front stage. I have everything bought and sitting in my room. Its all going to be finished this year.

        So I took a look for about a minute today (It's wet out. I'd rather wait until its dry). But from a glance. I seriously can't see where the water would be getting it. It's pretty dry in the engine bay and along the firewall....

            Nope. and neither does my brothers 2002. It's seriously weird. I'll just have to spend some time when it is dry looking at it.

                      I got it for free from some guy who makes bumpers and body kits for racing bmw's.

                      I wish I knew his name or info.

                        I'll looked at the fire wall yesterday and didn't see anything missing. Like I said. The firewall was basically dry. So its gotta be getting in somewhere else.

                        The water comes in very slowly on the passenger size up in the left corner by the dash.

                          It sounds like a leaky window seal.

                            What is under those hood vents ... I can't remember how this model works.... 

                            Don't they go into a cavity were the heater core brings in air somehow ?? I believe there are drains in the bottom of that cavity. I really cannot remember how that works ... brain hurts !?!?!? ughhh

                                When I had the car painted about 5 years ago now. I had the windshield removed and a new gasket put in.

                                I'm going to "test" if its the seal.

                                  Behind the firewall is the heater core. Those hood vents are just for looks I think.

                                      LOL. How crazy is that. I had to take a guy home from work. He doesn't have a car at the moment.

                                      I couldn't see anything. The windows were so foggy on the sides and the back.

                                      what were you driving? the 318? 316? in your signature?

                                          Dang. Didn't spot ya.

                                          I love me some vw :)

                                          My 2nd car is a mk2 jetta.

                                          Link me to the build thread. Need any help? I could give you a hand. Maybe you could give me a hand? I was planning on doing some much needed repairs on my jetta. It's needs a lot of love mechanically.

                                          And what does your quote mean "one of the few members with trunk issues"?
