VW Soundpack speakers?

[tony_danza]

Yeah Steve, I'd be looking for the whole Dynaudio stuff out of a wrecker too.

Mine's a Sept '06 car - haven't a clue how many speakers it has, and what's this amp under the seat lark? Surely they wouldn't fit that to non-soundpack cars, but it might be had quite cheaply and the wiring may already be there for it??

I remember in my MKIV as soon as I replaced the VW unit with a Becker, it sounded a million times better on the standard speakers alone... so I'm hoping a bit of OEM tweaking of some sort and a RCD/RNS will improve matters.

Cheers Jim, I'll have a read through.

No problem Mike,

General opinion seems to favour these:

Prices...... dunno! Don't seem to be at the high end of the market though.

I'm tempted now too. Curse these damn forums!

Hurdy has the Hertz 3 way comps in his ED30 with a Kenwood Double DIN Head Unit IIRC and spoke very highly of them

I tried reading those forums, but zoned out when they started talking about "soundstages" and such... ahh Vienna!

I think I'm pretty much sold on the Soundpack upgrade and an RNS/RCD. I just need to find out if my car has the extra speakers already and how that amp goes in under the seat?

I think for the effort required to add the soundpack amp, additional wiring loom and recoding the car it might be worth just trying it with the RCD/RNS510 headunit first. 

[tony_danza]

That's actually a very good idea!

Good Idea that Steve

You do need an amp to power the front comps to get the best from them though, otherwise they will not have anough power to give the clarity you seek young padowan
