The standard speakers aren't bad tbh. The standard headunit is a bit weak so you don't get the most out of them. Mine sounded much better with an aftermarket setup too  :cool:
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

Hey mate can I ask where you got these from (links)? I haven't noticed this one before. You can't argue with £250 for iPhone and DivX compatibility! Also does it play video when the vehicle is in motion (for passengers to watch, obviously...)
