I have 2 sets of 17cm fli components (front and rear) in my mk4 getting 100W each from a 4 channel amp. Well recommended.

Its a JVC. I don’t think its as efficient as it could be as it gets quite warm but it still drives them very well and keeps the SQ up the volume.

Just a thought mate. If you do go for 2 sets of comps make sure the rear tweeters are pointing toward the back seats (depending on where you decide to mount them. In the mk4 the standard rear tweeters are built into the rear card next to the door pillar (3dr) facing backwards which imo is good.) If they point towards the front seats the sound staging will be wrong. hope that makes sense.
