New speaker set up help please?!
« on: November 06, 2012, 10:13:43 pm »
Hi guys i have a mk5 gti with the 10 speaker set up however find that the sound quality is pretty average and want a new set up. Problem is i donf even know where to start or what to look for! I listen to my music mostly in the car so want something decent and my budget is around £300. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

clearly there are lots of things you could upgrade to get better sound, but as you have a limited amount to spend, my choice would be these for the front "focal 165 vr3" there a fantastic set of 3 way speakers including a shallow midrange speaker, as we're limited for space behind the mid in the front door.
Loads of extra's and retro fits.

This guy is flawless. There is a post somwhere showing his work. He spent a day fitting someone elses speakers properly. Would recomend saving and getting them fitted, deadened and wired correctly.  :happy2:
