How good is the sound system in the MkV1 GTI?

[Snoopy]

Really?? Have to say I'm surprised and disappointed. How come AUDI get Bose and VW are this poor??

There not, I would much rather have the laid back clarity of midrange the dynaudio has than any bass heavy Audi Blows system.
Bose is crap in every car ive ever heard it in. Thats why its called what it is in the audioworld

I like bass heavy so will possibly end up fitting my sub in the boot

[Snoopy]

Will need it. Quite a few with dynaudio have done that.
Unlike the eos and passat which have an 8" in the doors as a 3 way set in the front the golf does with a 6.5" 2way so lowend extension is restricted.
Also dynaudio speakers normally take many many hours to break in before showing there full capability. So don't just judge them by the first listen.
Also there a very laid back sound which some don't like.

There does seem to be quite a quality change when you look at the prices.

Standard front bass speaker is £20, Bass speaker for Dynaudio £100 

Dynaudio Amplifier £455

I think a retrofit is out of the question 

[Snoopy]

I wish i was only paying that for audio   

[mkviken]

would a sub work of my dynaudio amp or would i need a separate one?

did you ever get a sub which fitted in the wheel well snoopy? think i remember you saying you were after one.

Some here have just fitted the all on one Pioneer TS-WX11A Sub-woofer
Think SteveP, Am1W and a few others did.

Once ive sorted family issues im going to custom make a box for the passenger side rear wheel arch and do similar to this but in carpet.



You can buy them similar from autoacoustics LINK and JLaudio. LINK

For now I am just fitting my amped sub box as it is 800w  which is plenty, not to worried about boot space as not had any in the mk4 due to the same box will maybe look at getting a nicer amp & sub at a later date
