Nice set-up.  I do see one problem though..  It looks like you have the sub
amp mounted right on top of your rear heater enclosure.  This may cause some
pretty bad overheating while cranking the 'tunes in the winter time...

I used to have a 250 watt bass amp in my Scirocco, and I swear I didn't need
the heater when I had it cranked, it put out so much heat...
