This is a much better direct fit.
I think because you went for the "L" version the speakers are much bigger and deeper.

Thanks mate! So as usual i make things harder for my self by buying the wrong speakers.
If i buy a smaller hertz mid will it work ok with the crossover?
I'm going to attempt and get everything back to together switching out a speaker or even all the speakers would be easy now that all the hard work it done.

mmm. Its a different crossover but it will work fine. The one with yours is the CX300.5 which does 600hz and 6kHz
The one that comes with the hsk163 (containing the hv70) is the 3w.10 which does 500hz and 4.5khz
The HL70 will handle 200hz - 14khz though so it will work fine and won't risk blowing as your cross over is sending it frequencies well inside what it can handle.

i see your amping these as well. I've set a low pass cut off to protect the woofers on mine
My woofers (HV165L) go down to 40hz but i set a cut off at about 70hz (and my sub caters for anything below that)
Your woofers are EV165L.5 and go down to 50hz so personally id set a low pass on the amp at 60-70hz especially if your going to be running the amp at a medium to high level. If your running a sub you can set the cut off a little higher even to protect them more and reduce any door vibrations and let the sub look after 20-80hz range.

Thanks for your help. I got the outer skin and door card back on. Cant seem to get the arm rest to fit properly. Probably due to the mid.
Its all working off the head unit (well one door). I was expecting a massive improvement for all the work. Not sure at this point. But no distortion or rattles at high volume compared to the other door.
Will they liven up when amped?
With the tweeter is the wire with the red line the negative?
HL70 is the best option for the mid or is there anything else?

They won't be a massive improvement with just the head unit powering them. The standard speakers were half decent as it was. But yes once you run them from the amp they will be able to handle the power better than the OEM speakers.
Cant remember the exact wiring on them now but i always thought red was positive.
I'm sure there are other mids that will fit but i know that the HL70's go in without a problem.

Have you read the DIY that I posted: http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=184416
The poster explained how you can screw the bolf for the arm rest. He also explains the wire diagrams. Not sure if he explains exactly what wire is positive or negative, but I'm like jedi-knight83: black -> negative, red -> positive.
