Re: my 2012 mk6 gti build
i haven't compared them to the d3004s, but tweeters are mostly on-axis so i went with the RRs for extension.
rear fill is hard to get right so until i have time to play, i just leave it off. here's a couple other comments i made about it:

also remade my RCA cables from stereo pairs into single channels. this let me do a left vs right channel 1200.6 while keeping my wiring neater.
made sure to get some heat shrink over the center pin. took a tip from a friend and used some forceps to stretch out the heatshrink a bit to slide over the jacket and out-folded shield and common.

and done. i usually use blue heatshrink to note the source/sink side but ran out. so i used yellow instead. my buddy pointed out they look like McD cables now. oh well. :)

i had a chance to clean up some other wiring from the front of the car, since it's not crossing over the other side.

Re: my 2012 mk6 gti build
Fantastic build and I enjoyed the interview at the finals. With that much power, did you have to upgrade the alternator or do anything other than a single run of 1/0ga? I know class D draws less than A/B but I didn't realize it was that much less.
Re: my 2012 mk6 gti build
Thanks. I went up 1 group size battery, picking up 10ah of capacity. Factory alternator is 130a or so. It’s all been great.
Re: my 2012 mk6 gti build
This whole build is awesome! Your trunk setup looks amazing and the covers are I aspire to make my scion xB look this clean!
Re: my 2012 mk6 gti build
not much else to do but tune, especially during the state of things.

we found love on apple music. here's my observations:
d10:

- shaker on we found love more articulate
sony:
- better dynamics on cellos in spring
- better vocals in baker street and we found love
no staging differences, no low frequency differences
coming back to this. any difference w/ the high frequency articulation have been fixed w/ the ps8pro and tuning.
when i was first trying the ps8pro, i was amazed at how well it sounded compared to the helix pro mk2. for as many times as i've hit reset, rethought tuning from the ground-up, changed amps, added/removed linedrivers, and so forth, high frequencies just sort of always sounded a bit inaccurate.
high frequency attack/decay is much better on the ps8pro than the pro mk2. i guess the mk3s and ultra are supposed to sound much better but the ps8pro was a much more affordable option. also, no more director. :)
