So I got the European stock sound system which totally sucks ass, and there is no way to replace it cause everything is hot-wired into the main on-board computer.

I was thinking of installing a completely separate sound system - maybe into the glove compartment or something.

What do you think could be done about installing a custom sound system?

Nice subs but im sure you get cancellation since the front is not sealed from the back, here is mine so far
i also have 3 way components with CDT gold competition in the front as kickpannels

It all depends on how and what your budget is, i went that route, and im still getting the bugs out, its time consuming and might require modding of the car.
I have tried not to chop the car much but in certain aspects you will have to make some cuts do to size limitations.
