i have recently bought a mk4 gti when i picked it up i thought the stereo sounded a bit crap a few weeks later i looked into the problem. the muppet that owned the car before me had replaced the fronts with phoenix gold components and the rears with kenwood 3 way co ax speakers ive turned them off for now and am just using the fronts which sound ok but they are an old model and was thinking about buying 2 x sets of 6 1/2" components for the front and rear any recomendations i dont mind buying an amp to get the best sound out of them i have a gamma head unit and dont realy want to change this as i have a phat noise what do you guys have in your motors or do you think i would be best just trying to get hold of a set of original speakers?

are you running a sub??
if you are i wouldnt bother with the rear speakers you get a decent sound out of front comps and a sub, if you are just going to be running the 2 sets of comps then def amp them they will be a lot better.
what sort of budget do you have??
-
no i dont want a sub just quality front and rears the budget doesnt matter too much as im buyin it as i go not all at once
-
well make sure you get the amp and speakers at the same time they dont like being run off the headunit then amped at a later date.
ive been running powerbass comps for the last 6 months and have found them very impressive they have great power handling and a good sound. i would recommend them if you want something a bit different.
