Thanks but I got the speakers mounted last night and I found a place to mount them in the door also, so I'm going to get another pair for the doors. This morning I'm I'm putting the partition back and running speaker wires, I should get it done tomorrow then I'm mounting the mud flaps.

dont want to be a downer but you should never mount speakers in the doors of a VW

The back side panels are a great place for speakers. Nice sound from the open space in the rear quarters. I had lots of bugs years ago using that location for rear units! Just a thought.

Why, water? I always drape plastic over them, they never get wet.

I got the speakers mounted.



Should I build a box around them in the back.? Does the box give better sound?

Hey Jack !!!  Turn the BASS up real loud and it will take
those nasty kinks out of your back   2@@cool 

A grate over the front would protect from punctures in
the speaker cone, unless you want to go with a tuned
enclosure a box won't help.  Just turn up the volume
and let it RIP  **^bana0 **^bana0 **^bana0 

i replaced the rear back brake lines on the left side today
went much easier than the right side, helps when you
have the right tools  :jump4jo": :jump4jo": 

Only took about 1/2 hour !!

Started to bleed the lines and found out that i only had
about 4 oz of brake fluid in the bottle, buy more tomorrow...... 

Have to call my 10 year old grandson to pump the brakes  %$oldcit

this will protect the back & help put the sound where you want it

almost done with franks motor. cleaned/polished the egr. cleaned whatever hoses I could save, need to buy more. Sorry Frank but I'm going to replace the piece of green garden hose that was in there. I wanted to soak the air intake housing in carb cleaner but too much electrical connections to deal with. Had to brush it down and wipe it clean.

finally got my laptop back from the shop. fried the hard drive. Had all my pictures of the motor on it. I recovered some from the card in the camera but still lost a few.

Picasaweb is free & accessible from any computer. You can never loose them  2@cent

Yup... I backup my photos to Picasa  [gunfiring\

Note that because Picasa doesn't store your photos
(your hard drive still does), anything you delete in Picasa is also
deleted from your hard drive and vice versa. If you accidentally
delete photo files from anywhere on your hard drive, a "stored" copy
will not be available in Picasa. As with any files on your computer's
hard drive, you'll want to backup your Picasa photo files as well. You
can do so by burning them onto a CD, DVD or backing them up onto
another drive.

[Baha (Shawn)]

Not exactly true...

I have picasa on 3 different machines. Only if I delete photos are they removed from the web albums.
