VW speaker upgrade kits

[AMc]

Dragging this out of the grave in the hopes you guys can help me?

I discovered a blown woofer in the passenger door of my 58 plate GTi.  I took a punt on this upgrade kit thinking I'd replace it all.
Took the door card off and replaced the woofer no problems BUT my car has a different smaller tweeter plug which doesn't fit the new tweeter and no crossover or midrange speaker to replace.
Is there a additional wiring loom I can pick up that will allow me to fit the cross over, mid range and upgraded tweeter or have I just wasted a lot of money to buy one woofer and a box of spares?

edit - kit is labelled 5MO 051 608 A

Thanks for any help.

Where did you find the kit as I'm after one?

We're talking about your front passenger door right?

The kit should look like this?..



It's a front door speaker kit for the 10 speaker system and should be plug n play if you have the 10 speaker system which your GTI should have?

I wouldn't mind one of these kits myself but not any cheap sets going these days

Only early gtis had 10 speaker systems as standard. After late 2005ish it was an option and most cars rolled out with 8 not 10.

You can splice into the woofers wiring and run wires to the mids thats easiest to do and works fine.

Kit came from eBay - I paid £70 Buy It Now from this seller but it looks like a one off.

Yes, the front passenger door though now I've replaced a blown woofer I'd like to fit the whole kit in both doors.
That's the same kit - but there is no wiring for the cross over or the midrange and the tweeter plugs are different.

Yes, whoever specced the car from new only put in the RCD300 so I assume they didn't care about music :)  They didn't fit cruise either so perhaps they just wanted the performance.

I did figure it wouldn't be that big a deal to splice in the tweeter as the wiring there are only a couple of wires in each plug and one is marked with a black stripe so is presumably negative.
I can only get that plug wrong once :)

The cross over has 10 unlabelled black wires going into the plug alone so I'm a bit lost as to what to splice to where. 
I'd like to use the crossovers rather than push bass frequencies through the little mids if it can be done, otherwise I'll probably just leave them out as little speakers trying to push bass is probably worse than not having them in there at all.

I was hoping there was a simple loom to go with the upgrade kit but it looks like I'm out of luck.  I haven't actually spoken to VW so might see if the main dealer has any parts listed.

Thanks for replies guys, I'd almost given up on getting any help :)

EDIT here are some phone pics of the set up and the connectors.

Thats a shame, did you buy it a while ago as I can't find the completed item so I can ask them.

Hope you can find a simple kit for wiring, however with a wiring diagram I'm sure you could make a loom up

September last year.  The completed listing is dead I'm afraid you could always contact the seller through their shop?
Googling the part number "5MO 051 608 A" comes up with this in Germany - but expensive!

I had to wait ages for a good day with time to fit it - no garage available.
At the moment I have an all original set apart from one better woofer but I don't want to strip the doors down until I know how to fit the rest of the kit.
I could perhaps tour the breakers and take the looms out of the doors of an earlier GTi or the same with a 10 speaker kit but I struggle to find the will to deal with those guys let alone the time :(

They have replied to my message, and they don't know if they will get anymore.

Let me know how you get on with this as my golf has the 10 speaker set up, so if you ever want to sell and get something else let me know

Gladen do a kit. Not cheap though. But bet it would sound better than the standard kit.

Cheers I'll keep you in mind but don't hold your breath - I'm not keen to drill out the rivets on that woofer again - I must have rubbish drill bits because it took ages.

Good find dazza, also a couple more to bear in mind...

Rainbow have a kit in their IQ Line range (not plug and plug though, wiring etc needed. Unless they also do a proper IQ line kit?

ETON have plug and play kits for front and rear

[rich83]

Those Gladen speakers look excellent.

Here is an install in a R32.

Just bought some 3 way Rainbow Vanadium component speakers for my mk5. Don't suppose anyone on here know where I could get them professionally installed? Tried doing something similar myself with a friend on my mk4 and it turned into a nightmare, so would rather have someone who knows what their doing install them this time.

Hmmm maybe Gladen kit could be on the cards, would they need to be amped?
