Thought I would share a timeline on the build, hope it helps a few doing theirs :beer:
The car static: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5119765-I-won-t-lie
So here are the goals:
1- keep everything hidden
2- maximize usuable trunk space
3- Maximize compressor noise reduction with Accuair Exo Mount and insulation foam
4- Easily removable wood frame
5- minimize frame weight
The toys (still missing the rear strut and Accuair Exo compressor Mount)
The build should take me a month ish, slow i know but I don't have much time with work nowadays
progress today: trunk cleaned up / come up with a frame design (two vertical boards in the spare tire, one holding the air management and one for storage compartiment) / assemble first frame support piece with curve for the driver side compartment door
ps: I'll be getting a donut spare tire for long trips and drive without one in the city since I'm covered with BCAA
Got everything laid down, storage compartiment at the bottom like i said earlier and air management above with the Sub Amp sandwiched in between the two
Installed the rocker switch, not my favorite location but one of the few places where the cable can reach behind. I trimmed a little too much on the edges but it can barely be seen once the switch in place so i'm pretty satisfied
