Amp install
« on: 28 November 2010, 21:31 »
Hey guys I've been speaking to some mates about the sound quality in my mk4 gollf. Its all standard at the moment but i've heard the amp in the head unit isn't particularly good. I was wondering if i was to install an amp if i would see much of an improvement? Not really that fussed about installing a sub or anything

Thanks,

Do you know if the Bose speakers from the S3 will easily go into the Golf Mk4?  I've got a Bose sound dock at home and have always been impressed by their speakers.

Standard components then. All comps come with mid, tweet & xover. Where abouts did you get them from. £400 seems like an absurd price to pay for them.

Any set of 6.5s with a thinish surround will fit the mk3.

I saw a set of the front speakers going on ebay for about £50. I think it said they were 6.5 inches. I'll look for them again and post the full spec on here
