Has Anyone had the VW upgrade speakers fitted to their car?

If so what are they like?

Im thinking of having them for my 3 door as part of my compo package.

I also want to upgrade my rear speakers (well, actually all speakers). Some time ago I removed the rear panel to see what was causing an strange sound and I took some pictures that maybe can help you too. I don't know if there are speakers that will fit. The speaker is on a plastic tube, I don't know how to describe you, just see the pictures :wink:

Oh! I ordered my polo with the extra 8 speakers. Also the tweeter is a bit strange. It is just "glued" to the plastic. There are no screws :?

BTW, the rear tweeters sound very low, in my opinion. You have to put your ear on it to hear them! I don't like it, that's the reason I want to change them.

P.S.: The thing making noise was a cable. I fixed it with some sticky tape.

Someone must have had some upgraded. I need to know how much better they sound cos at the moment I have my fader nearly all the way to the front cos the rears fart so much when there's the slightest bit of volume. :cry:

TBH mate, you're better off getting an after market set-up. Go to somewhere like Halfords and you can test out the speakers for yourself.

May even work out cheaper than the VW upgrade kit (new anyway).

It is a Gamma h/u with 8 speakers.

So you reckon to get some aftermarket speakers such as infinity?

Do these fit properly where the existing ones fit?
