Default MY06 wagon speaker recommendations

Hello folks,

not posted on here for approx 18 millenia.

Just got an MY06 wagon to replace the previous family car ~ SEAT Leon. For std-fit ICE the Leon was excellent, and the Scoob is a huge step down.

Looking for some recommendations for replacement speakers (which I suspect are the culprit (?)).

Don't want to cut anything, or have to mess about too much (simply as I can't be 4rsed messing around ~ we have a 944S2 for that ). Aim is for significant bass improvements and added clarity. Lets say a budget of £100 to cover front and rear to give you an target.

Any suggestions?

(And is the door card easy to remove on the MY06? )

Thankyou!

Try the head unit first, I've just changed the one in my MY05 wagon.

info in the faq too I guess; there's not much difference between the 05 and 06 ice-wise afaik

I wouldn't worry too much about the rear 'speakers, but I don't really know what you can do for a ton unless you look second-hand. Both the 'speakers and hu are duff I'm afraid...

Hmmm

I'd really like to keep the HU standard.

You don't think I'd notice any significant improvement from something like these? (just as an example)

Both the H/U and the speakers need upgrading IMHO.

Kenwood do some decent double DIN heads which will fit straight in.
