Heya,
I wont be the first to say, that the oem speakers in the tweeters and doors suck. I'm using a sony head unit right now and I don't think I can handle listening to tinny, trebly, thin sound. I'm on a budget of around £60 and I'm looking to upgrade the speakers in the doors and front tweeters. Does anyone have any experience with replacing the stocks for something better?
I listen to rock music mostly so I wont really be needing a sub. Sorry if this sounds amatuerish because I am, but I've done a few mods before and reckon replacing the speakers shouldn't be too much of a problem.

changing speakers is dead easy!! If your after something better but nothing big, then you can just use the original speaker wire. i'd recommend something like these

i started my polo 6n sound system last year
ended up with a system of around 3k
get adictive lol
best thing for budget is
get down to your local motorworld and get a set of 17cm JBL gto 2 way speakers for the front £30
and 6x9 JBL GTO also for £30
easy to fit
great sound
do not worry about wires
your running the speakers off the head unit amp 4x50w i guess at the best
you dont need any bigger wire for the front as the vw wire is just over the top anyway
i run 6 2 way sony boston edition speakers and and 2 bluabunkt tweeters
throught 2 kenwood 1000w 4ch amps for the front
sounds great and the wires handle it fine
the rear cable that comes with the 6x9s will show you what i mean they are very thin
but do you think a multy million doller comany would give out crap wire
dont think so
if u want some more help let me know dude i will send u some pics

I'm also wondering what the OEM speaker RMS power is?

Re: Replacing speakers on my 6N
The additional wires are the feed back to the woofers. If you follow the wiring, you can find the split and put a crossover in its place
