Dennis, I've never heard the Blaupunkt speakers, but i've used the infinities. they are a bit expensive, but not much. About the speakers in the back. I've seen it done and it sounded ok but it was pain to deal with, and you loose the stock look. What I did with my GTI was buy a Bazooka Base tube (that has an amp built in). I got the 8" (cost approx. $300) and was VERY happy with the sound. it added plenty of base so my other speakers could act as the mid and highs. just turn the base down a little on the receiver and turn up the base on the tube and you'll be happy. Plus, if you head to an AutoX, just take the tube out and you're fine. It does take up a little bit of room, but not much.
About the door speaker pockets, I have a pair but they do not have the speaker covers. let me know if you are interested.

I want something decent but not too expensive. I found that blaupunkt has what seems to be some pretty decent speakers at a good price. Does blaupunkt make pretty good speakers, or would i be better going with something else? Once again i dont care for the best speakers i just want something decent to replace my stock speakers. Also has anyone put 6x9 speakers in the back of the GTI on the part that lifts up when you open the hatch? I was thinking about doing this as the 4x6 in the back arent cutting it. ohh and finaly does anyone know how much the door speaker pockets cost from the dealer (or anywhere else that might have them). I have the storage compartment ones and never really use them. -denis _______________________________________________ A2-16v mailing list [email protected] http://maillist.myip.org/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v For list archives, see listinfo link above.
