$120 to install a set of speakers? thats pretty excessive. i'd say $70-80 tops to install a set of splits into a golf.

Its really easy, i'll even do a DIY for you if you want hahaha

hey black, if you were in sydney I would pay you to do it for me. I will need to read more and before attempting DIY.

P.S. any one got suggestion/ pics of position where the tweeter can be mounted apart from stock position on the dash ( would that be best place anyways)

Its really not as hard as you think. the hardest bit for most people is getting over the fact that they think they cant do it!

All you need is a flat blade screw driver, a philips head screwdriver and a set of side cutters or wire strippers.

I'm sure there are some sydney siders that would be happy to help you install your speakers.

It'd save you a fair wack of money and you might even make some new friends.


Either way like i said, if you want me to make a DIY just ask!

I am confident to give it a DIY, taking the door card is not my worry. Its the wiring. But it should be fun tho, I will probably lay out the on the table before I uncrew my car. Thanks for your offer mate.

what about the tweeter part? any suggestions

[BlackVr6ix]

you can do a number of thing, i cut the old tweeter out and used the flush mount for my new tweeter in that.

you could also just stick the new tweeter onto the grill where the old tweeter goes, the A pillar, the mirror backing or even on the door panel depending on how you like your high frequency stuff.

wat we did was drill a hole so the wires wen thru the mirror plastic thing and then glued the tweeter on the mirror thing. the stock tweeter location suckd.

[Soundofav6]

I am going with the idea of mirror plastic. The stock location is not on the same level. I will probably have them blue tacked to possible location before I make any holes.
Thanks for the ideas guys.

when your putting them in position, aim the tweeter at the opposite seats head rest [if your putting in the drivers side tweeter, aim it to the passenger seat head rest].

if your in a real DIY mood you can block off the service holes in the door with thin [3mm] mdf. it creates an enclosure for the speaker and produces much better mid bass/sound [would be more like what you heard in the store]. i can find a tutorial if you want.

Thanks for the head rest tip buddy !!
service hole as in where the speaker sit ? What is mdf ?A tutorial would be nice

This is my speaker test. My logic tells me that my wiring starting from cross over hub thing is wrong, the sound is awfully soft.

I would need to locate the main wire from head unit and start from there right.
