In case you haven’t seen my previous post on my build for my 2023 VW Jetta SE, it has an active Ci7 three way up front and Ci3 Coaxial in the rear for fill. Kenwood Excelon 809S Headunit, Helix V8 DSP amp, and 1000W JD JL Audio amp for the 12W7 in the trunk. It’s been a long journey with all the planning so if anyone wants install pics, for any part of the build just ask in the comments! I know this isn’t the typical Jetta post but no harm in sharing different experiences for those who may be interested!

A lot of people have been asking for pics of my build and I finally got yall with a video of the whole thing. please enjoy and ask any questions or give any advice you’d think I need!

So I’ve spent the last two years wanting better audio, I think I’ve cracked the code for anyone else who wants absolutely insane music that is on par if not superior to most luxury audio brands. I went with AUTOSOUND inc in Lexington,KY and needless to say they have treated me more than fair in every step of this process and my car sounds better than my friends Lexus is350 ML system by a wide margin. So far I’ve found this has been a pretty niche build since I haven’t found anyone modifying their MK7 audio as hard as I’ve done mine but hey, if this can help at least one person with their decision making on whether or not they want to take that first step then I am more than happy to post about my journey. LONG LIVE JETTAS
