Speaker Upgrade Help
« on: April 23, 2017, 06:18:53 pm »
Looking to upgrade all the speakers in my MK5 GTI... most of them have popped and sounds awful.

1) what size are all the speakers/tweeters
2) any recommend brands (want a decent quality but still reasonably priced £200 budget if possible, not sure what the going rtaes are for a decent set)

thanks in advance

Do you have 2 way or 3 way speakers? If you have the VW 10 speaker system there is a mid range and woofer in the front doors, and a tweeter in the triangle by the door pillar.
I'd look at Hertz, Rainbow, Focal etc

What year is your car? The early Mk5s had the 10 speaker pack, the later ones just the 8 speakers.
Alternatively just press your ear up to the door when playing music, the mid is half way up the door behind a plastic grill.
