how far are you looking at going with it? just the speakers or adding amps and things?
any idea of total budget because this will determine what will be best for you?

just speakers not wanting to mess about with amps.

and bout £50-60, decided i'll only do the dash and rear speakers.

Yeah i do, its a GTi, but i've decided i'm not going to do the doors as i dont have much money and i want to get decent speakers.

to be honest and this is just my view, i would change the doors and the ones in the dash first, keep the sound where u are then replace rears at a later date??

i spose that would be a better option, but with the ones on the dash im know im going to have to take most of it apart and im afraid of breaking or snapping it will removing it then not being able to put it back  :sad:
