Title: New speaker set up help please?!
Post by: bushypad on November 06, 2012, 10:13:43 pm: Hi guys i have a mk5 gti with the 10 speaker set up however find that the sound quality is pretty average and want a new set up. Problem is i donf even know where to start or what to look for! I listen to my music mostly in the car so want something decent and my budget is around £300. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
