You actually gave me an idea to upgrade my audio in the car ;)

I was thinking about getting some speakers few months ago, but kind of forgot...

Well, Pioneer's got good stuff, as well as Sony.

hey man, i noticed this when i replaced mine ..... if ya can get a speaker to fit the dash (i just built a 4" blanking plate and put a tweeter in the middle) then all u gotta do is

cut the vw fitting off

strip the wire back

and attach some of these http://www.bassjunkies.com/audio/kicker-knpst4-8 (go to halfords, they are dirt cheap)

these will then directly plug into the back of most aftermarket speakers

i was going through the same thing and pretty much everyone i knew and asked said to use pioneer cause they do some direct replacements but another option is to replace all speakers and head unit and rewire it all, slightly more tricky but can do get some tricked out audio system.  :cool:

I used JBL202's - they are 2.5 inch mid/tweets. No alterations needed just dropped em in and screwed them down.
