I know this is suppose to be under the ICE section, but I wanna address this topic specifically for the new Polo (9N).
Anyway, I was wondering what you guys have at the front doors? What speakers I mean? 'cos I can't live with the bog standard VWs forever. Need some feedback and recommendations.
Many thanks.

Sounds expensive, but good.
Can't afford. I'm thinking of Infinity's or JBLs maybe?

Looking in to changing the standard speakers as well but not to sure on the size I need (front and rear) and whether I will need to buy some speaker mounts?
Can any body help?

They are the same size on the front and rear, 6 1/2" (16,5cm). You will need some speaker mounts because the hole on the door doesn't have enough deep.

Cheers that's great!
I knew I could not rely on my local dealer, they said it would probably be 13cm for the rear.

Probably? LOL When I went to my local dealers they couldn't even say what size were the front speakers.

Well I can definitely say I will not be asking for there advise in a hurry
they may do cheap deals but not the brightest bunch around.
