10 speakers or 8?

Has anyone else experienced poor quality on this setup?

Hey 08micsta, have you tried altering the equalisation settings on your iPod itself?

Not ideal, I know, having to keep juggling settings when changing between car and headphones, but when I had a fiddle with mine (no carry on-esque comments please) I found that I could get the rear view mirror rattling with ease.

Try moving to a more bass-heavy equalisation setting in your iPod and you should be ok.....

Pls dont call me a Boff but I already thought of that.....
The settings are on Bass Booster at the moment and it does sound better. But it still not as good as what the sound system is capable of. 
I havnt tried this yet but does the Sound system pick up a manual preset equalizer? Instead of using only Bass Boost for all the songs. Will it pick up if I make a personal manual equalizer setting? for each song?

Hopefully you understand what I saying.... What Ipod you using?

Hi fi and music quality are very much subjective issues and a car is not the best medium for quality sound. I ordered my GTI with the DVD Sat Nav and iPod connection in the centre armrest (replacing the CD changer). The sound quality is OK for me and I am sure it has just the standard speaker set up. I have noticed some buzzing on one track (Jethro Tull !!!), but this seems to be down to the digital data transfer from my PC to the iPod and not related to the unit in the car. I'm an old git (still stuck on 1970's rock), so I don't play it with too much volume , having said that, I'm still well satisfied with the overall sound and performance.
