Very easily done mate, best to sit down with whoever is going to do the work and talk through all the designs you can think of...work out what is the most cost effective for you, and then get it booked in lol!
We have done many builds where things look untouched in the boot!...Yet also done things like put carputers in cars, ipads in dashs, and gone extreme with the builds as you have seen above
If there is anything I can help with, just drop me a PM

The Polo uses a M1s amp which does 5kwrms book figure, but in reality does 7100wrms at 1ohm at 14v!
The Previa uses the SERUM amps, these were specially designed for the us and are now available as a special order amp. This amp does 7.5kwrms at 14v (which is what most people run), but the amp is 18v stable....We run 16.9v in the Previa and is produces approx 9500wrms per amp, and at 18v it produces 9700wrms or there abouts...
The Polo scored 148.1dB on its first outing and hasnt been tested again...that was straight out the box...no setting up amp, no mesing around with seat positioning etc...literally, rolled up to a show, and scored 148! One of the loudest cars in its class if not the loudest...once I have had a chance to test more, we should see around the 150 out of that install! Its LOUD!
The Previa does 159dB on music with the doors and windows shut
Loudest car in the UK although im sure someone will beat it this year...I will do over 160dB in it, but I just cant find the time to start strengthening the cabin area...it flexes WAY too much and loses me dB's!

I would go with some serous sound quality gear if it were mine...small 10" sub in a sealed box, components in the front, Pioneer P80RS to control everything, and a high class 4 channel amp in the boot. It would sound so sweet with the right equipment!

Yes not too bad, in slow time and when funds allow i am sound proofing the car then changing all the door speakers and will be amping them up. it's on the standard headunit cos it's got the heater controls etc built in to it so have got a JL cleansweep to add to it too.

TBH steer away from screens mate...they look a bit chavvy to be honest...especially in a car like yours!
Get the Pioneer P80RS mate trust me...its got bluetooth, 2 USB slots (both rear mounted so you can run extensions to the Glovebox etc and have an iphone/ipod etc plugged into it, and a USB stick in the other slot), SD card slot (upto 32gb!) and CD Player. You can Bluetooth stream audio into the headunit to which is handy!

You can also get creative...in my wifes corsa, we have got a pair of 12s in the boot and only lost around 3inches of boot height! Its only due to the subs being inverted that it looks like we have lost all the boot etc

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Sorry no pics to hand...
I re did the Orion last year, running a alpine head unit, 4 fly 6.5 inch components, there powered by a Alpine MRV-F450 V12 5/4/3 Channel Amplifier,
And 2 x 12 inch vibes which are powered by my old trusty mtx amp.
Still not happy with it all...
I'm sick of spending time and money on the set up and getting nowhere with it.
Think ill be spending more money on components again, and maybe go for a new single sub to give me some space back?
Maybe go for a 15 inch sub???

Sound quality is better than aux, it's all digital mate, It sounds better than the CDs I have aswell, plus you can put more songs on the disc in mp3 format because it can read em.
The days of wires have been and gone, it's like having a sonos in your car lol

Honestly, 2 JBL components in the doors and 2 JBL components in the back teamed with a decent sub and amp in the boot will be more than enough.
A lot of these huge builds weigh a ton and knock you head off. To sit in the car they sound bad becuase they are just to bassy and to loud.
That build of richies looks shit hot!

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
I have just bought a nice simple but effective kit for my Daily ST220, install coming soon and aim to keep it looking oem as possible
Sony XAV601 BT
JBL MS62C Front Comps
JBL 12" Bandpass box
Genesis Profile 4 Ultra amp
In the Audi is a bit more specced with
JVC AVX2
Hertz HSK Front Comps
2x JL Audio 10" subs in sealed box
JL Audio amp for subs
Alpine V12 for comps
Best get a listen to a few sets of speakers if possible to judge how far you want to go with quality, it can get expensive depending on how you like your sounds.
