THINGS THE CUSTOMER DOESN'T SEE - Full Audio Upgrade In A Volkswagen Caddy

[@Conradc187]

Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail

[@czechgirlandtheyorkshireman]

The work and thought that has gone into this is unreal, I've been watching quite a few videos of caddy conversions and carpeting and there's a few "professionals" showing under average work. Your work is unreal, its not just a good job, you've taken a near perfect job and thought what you could do to make it better! Thats what I like to see! ill be subcribing!

[@RTAFabrication]

Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to watch it and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm unbelievably particular (as you can probably tell) and get pretty obsessed with doing things a certain way haha. Thanks again for watching.

[@NocturnalRixx]

Your work ethic is immaculate!

[@MrSnypz1]

This is ............... im actually speechless, some proper proper mega work !, you've just gained a customer when i get to that stage in my build !.

[@trexfishtec7375]

I'm been messing with car audio and more recently campers for 25 years, and that's a really nice simple tidy install. Lots of thought and extra effort and it shows. Well done 👏

[@chrisgreg0ry]

This is incredibly clean - worth every penny! This is what a true craftsman looks like... just smile once in a while 😂

[@RTAFabrication]

Thanks Christopher! Haha I know! It's just a confidence thing with filming myself, I'll loosen up as time goes on!

[@frankysnephew]

@@RTAFabrication : Don't. You don't need to comply with the woke requirements and expectations of the masses. It is not your smile that sells your work but the quality.

[@scottjc67]

Amazing skill, workmanship and attitude. Impressed with how at ease you are with the technology like the 3D printer. Beautiful

[@trialsbike2135]

This is soo professional, nice install

[@RTAFabrication]

Thanks man, appreciate you watching!

[@AudisonItofficial]

Super pro and clean install! You rocks guy -Audison staff

[@RTAFabrication]

Thanks guys 🤟🏻

[@SteveAggasild]

Huge respect for outstanding professionalism , and obviously high level of knowledge & workmanship, bloody brilliant !!

[@joshnolan8826]

I dont usually comment on YT and I came across your channel/this video by pure luck, but this video has tipped the deciding scales of me wanting a caddy now, everything from the craftsmanship, B roll footage, quality of installation and your explanation of why and how you do it all, well. Bravo my friend, Im sure I'll be seeing you in the short future for some work such as this..

[@RTAFabrication]

Thanks Josh! I hope that's a good thing me sways your decision haha. Thanks I do appreciate you taking the time to watch and your kind comments. By all means if you want to discuss anything about this installation or an installation in your Caddy just let me know and I'd be happy to help!

[@joshnolan8826]

[@cus-specdetailing4466]

Mate…….. 🤯 the way you work and your work is unreal! Really nice way you put that together, i sure know who i’ll be coming to if i need my audio doing. Enjoyed the video as well! 👍🏼 10/10

Awesome professional install and a excellently presented and entertaining video. A true craftsman.

[@RTAFabrication]

Thanks for watching Patrick, glad you enjoyed it!

[@joegodfrey287]

Sterling work dude, love seeing work to this level. Possibly found yourself a new customer :).

[@RTAFabrication]

Thanks Joe! I appreciate you taking the time to watch it! If you ever need any advise or anything on putting a system together let me know and I'd be happy to discuss it with you.

[@RoadRunnerMeep]

Great attention to detail I was already thinking about how you would get the extra insulation to prevent sound loss maybe like a foam, then when you made the comments at 6:10. Attention to detail pays dividends. Graet work :)

[@RTAFabrication]

Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to watch. Absolutely right, the manner of installation will directly impact the overall result and longevity of any upgrade, it's the small things that will make the biggest difference. This system isn't overly expensive (obviously that's subjective) but I know the equipment in this Caddy is performing to the best it can with really good results.

[@thebikerepairshopformby]

Very impressive standards of work, well done 👍

That, was pure class.

Professional work and inspiration for my caddy conversion. Greetings from Munich.

[@RTAFabrication]

Thanks Jott! Appreciate the feedback 😁

[@stephenclarke1526]

Very professional job and a very good work ethic

[@gaycha6589]

What a professional job. Thorough, detailed and you are handy with the 3D printing. I was wanting to see the sub installation and eq tuning for finished system, particularly cross over tunings. Considering this upgrade for my Golf 7.5 with Dynaudio . Great insight to level of thought, prep work. Thanks.

[@RTAFabrication]

Thanks! Yes that's something I wanted to include in this video, however the deadline was approaching and wanted to not have my attention divided with filming. I'll be sure to do some videos which include that type of content. Thanks for watching!

[@cecilphillips1510]

Man thats what I call an install very nicely done mate....WheelAttention West Australia

[@asborampage]

awesome vid flower... you got me thinking about my little ole caddy getting a sound upgrade now. :P

[@dominiczand5550]

well done fella. who says OCD is bad! great install and foe thought with how you made it future proof.

[@RTAFabrication]

Thanks Dominic. Yes I agree, that mindset isn't a bad thing at all! Thanks again for watching!

[@raymondjohnson6961]

Thank you for your amazing video Sir. WHOA, your craftsmanship is excellent and I truly admire how you go out of your way to look after your customers in the long term, meaning that if your customer want's to go back to an OEM setup, you have that covered...brilliant Sir. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. Keep up the great work!!! 👏👏👏👏🔊💪💪💪💯

[@RTAFabrication]

Thanks Raymond and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah thinking forward about reverting back to standard is one thing I always focus on, actually, usually I find it doesn’t take that much more effort to implement these things and saves a lot more effort if it did ever come to swapping them equipment back. Thanks again for watching!

[@ecpruthless]

GOOD STUFF MY MAN Hopefully this becomes the new norm for installers.....other installers need to take notes simple but done right.......i'd like to see how u do with an all out build

[@RTAFabrication]

Thanks man I appreciate the feedback! I’d love to film an entire build too, I’ve had to be choosy with which vehicles I can film on as most of the time the deadlines are tight so I know I’d struggle for time. Fortunately the few I have filmed were flexible so I was able to take e extra time to film.

[@pporteruk]

I’m just looking for a caddy at the moment and thankfully KZbins algorithm brought this up! I’ll be giving you call for exactly the same install. How long does the install usually take? By the way what an absolutely incredible install and the attention to detail is outstanding

Nice work, how things should be done. Professional. Most car audio installs are dreadful, chavvy and devalue a vehicle in my opinion Look forward to more vids

What if you have to replace a blown tweeter or something? Super clean work, just wondering.

Is the bumper bleu from factory? Or is it repainted?

Great work👌🏽

[@RTAFabrication]

Thanks for watching! 👍🏻

[@gashead2]

Great work, without revealing the actual price of that job is there a ball park figure you can give please?

[@RTAFabrication]

Thanks Cary! Roughly, the equipment cost for this install was around £1300, that's speakers, amplifier, subwoofer, cabling and sound treatment. The customer supplied the stereo on this one but typically I'd say around £399.99 would get you a good stereo with CarPlay etc, like the Pioneer SPH-DA250DAB for example which is my go-to entry level stereo. The custom adapters, mounts etc will always vary depending on the requirements, then labour, which again depends on the brief. Hope that helps!

[@Bhp4Bikes]

Hi im looking at doing a stereo upgrade got kit from a old build which ill reuse its a 2000rms setup and wanted to no what would you do with power supply as these vans have a battery insulator any advice appreciated

what is the cost of such a system in such a car ?

Roughly how much did this cost?

[@Jam1ee]

What wheels are they my guy?

[@RTAFabrication]

Hey, sorry man I have no idea, I tried looking through footage and photos of the job and can’t make out the brand unfortunately.

[@Jam1ee]

@@RTAFabrication No problem, thanks for having a look anyway - Such a nice Caddy - Great job all round!

[@ViralEye1]

What head unit is that?

[@RTAFabrication]

From memory I think it was the Alpine ILX-700, or one within that same range 👍🏻

[@TruckerMatty93]

Would this cost hundreds or thousands?

[@paiggey]

why would you ever go back to stock on a build like this?
