Crap Speakers

[WhiteHartMart]

I was disappointed with the quality of the RCD300 when I picked my car up (not that the stereo is a massive issue).

Put my RNS510 in yesterday though and the difference is considerable - much more clarity and sounds a lot more natural.  In fact its good enough for me know to forget about spending money upgrading the speakers for some time.

Would have been nice to have the B&O system out of my Audi though

i think it's rainbow who do a special set of speakers designed to fit the mk5 without need for baffles etc. bloody expensive though.

Hadn't realised that mate - I had the 14 speaker B&O upgrade with an amp  - the way it was worded it indicated that all the speakers were B&O??  At least the 6 front speakers on mine were trimmed with chrome rings with the B&O logo on them.  None of the rears did have though come to think of it??

Did sound damn good though

I take it you have to drill out the speakers - recollect someone mentioning they're riveted.  How do you secure the new ones?

Probably with one of those leaf nut type things and a self tapping screw. I always put a bit of trim tape between speaker adaptor and inner door skin to help with vibrations

I've had RCD300 experience in both 3 door & 5 door Golfs.
The sound in the 5 door models is much better than the 3 door models. Maybe just speaker positioning but I wondered if there were larger speakers in the 5 door rear doors?
