APR ECU remap impressions on my Golf MK6 TDI

Recently hit 300,000km and as a milestone present it got an ECU tune. Absolutely stoked with it, and I wish I'd done it earlier!

Way more immediate torque at the lower end of the rev range, and a lot more power higher up in the rev range where previously it would fall off. It put a massive smile on my face. On 235 wide Michelin PS5's and it can lose traction all the way through second gear now.

Other mods include Bilstein B16 coilovers, Whiteline front/rear sway bars, end links, ball joints, a Racingline air intake for some extra woosh, and a short shifter kit.

It's tons of fun now. I think a limited slip diff would make a world of difference but realistically that would cost me more than the whole car is worth.

Hi all, moving into a new place soon with and would love some suggestions on layout of my system. It's a downgrade as my previous place was a nice rectangular room I could fit 8 people in. I'd really like to be able to fit as many people in for a movie as possible whilst still having decent sound and speaker placement.

It's an awkwardly shaped long room with a narrower section at one end. It has doorways and walkways I need to keep clear. The only wall I could knock out is the dividing wall with the front door area, but I don't know if it would really help me much but instead just make the room L shaped.

I may also add some in-ceiling speakers for Atmos depending on the setup.

I've come up with layouts 1 & 2, both of which seem not great to me but I don't have any ideas. There's a blank picture (pic 5) too, if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them.
