Did VW ever sell mk4's with upgraded speakers as standard?
« on: 27 February 2008, 18:40 »
I was listening to some tunes earlier in the car, using my standard mk4 VW stereo.  I cranked the bad boy up REALLY loud, and the speakers didn't distort at all, they were totally crisp, and stupidly loud.

Surely the stock speakers aren't that good?

did you upgrade just the front and rear, or the tweeters as well?  If I upgrade the speakers but leave the normal stereo in, will it still be up to the job?

Ive only done the front at the moment. Yeah that included the tweeters all came as one package for the mk4 golf!  :cool:
You would need to upgrade the headunit aswell TBH.

there was an upgrade option - or maybe some previous owner has already swapped them out :)

The previous owner was a doctor, I don't think he would have modded the car after he bought it, but it does seem strange.  the speakers seem un-naturally good considering they're stock.  Also, do GTi's usually come with air-con AND a sunroof?

Well I have the normal VW stereo, and a VW 6 CD changer in the back, and the speakers really seem powerful, the bass is incredible!!
